Today’s merit
Tap the wooden fish to add 1 merit
Tap automatically at the selected interval
This digital wooden fish brings the look and responsive feel of a traditional wooden fish to an interactive web page. Tap the wooden fish on the screen to increase today's merit count by one, display a “+1” animation, and play an authentic recording of a wooden fish strike. It works on phones, tablets, and computers, and you can enter fullscreen mode to minimize distractions from other page elements.
The merit count is a playful reference to internet culture. It does not represent the effects of a religious ritual, an assessment of real-world good deeds, or any promise of good fortune. The experience is intended for brief relaxation, rhythmic interaction, and entertainment. For formal spiritual practice, the use of ritual instruments, or religious observance, respect the relevant tradition and seek guidance from an appropriate community, venue, or practitioner.
Tap the wooden fish image to register one strike. Each valid tap updates the count and triggers a floating animation. Supported touchscreen devices may also provide gentle vibration feedback; if your device or browser does not support vibration, the core features will still work. Sound is enabled by default. Use the button at the bottom to mute it, then turn it back on whenever you want to hear the wooden fish recording again.
Browsers usually require you to interact with a page before they allow audio playback. If you do not hear anything at first, check your media volume, mute switch, Bluetooth output, and browser permissions, then tap the wooden fish manually once. Rapid repeated taps restart the audio from the beginning, so tapping too quickly may cause sounds to overlap or be cut short.
When you enable auto-tapping, the page strikes the wooden fish immediately, then continues increasing the count and playing the sound at your selected interval. Choose from four rhythms: 0.5, 1, 2, or 3 seconds. You can change the interval without turning off auto mode first. Shorter intervals create a denser rhythm, while longer intervals work better as a quieter background pattern.
Auto-tapping depends on the web page continuing to run. The rhythm may be delayed or stop if you switch to another app or tab, lock the screen, enable a system power-saving mode, or encounter browser timer restrictions. When you return, missed time should not be counted as actual strikes. Remember to turn off auto-tapping or mute the sound before leaving your device unattended, joining a meeting, or entering a quiet space.
The number at the top shows the total number of strikes recorded during the current page session. The reset button returns the count to zero, but it does not automatically disable sound or auto-tapping, so check the current settings before resetting. If auto-tapping remains enabled, the next scheduled strike will increase the count from zero.
Fullscreen mode expands the interactive area, making it useful when your phone is resting on a desk or when you want a relaxing background experience on your computer. Your current settings remain active on the page after you exit fullscreen. This version does not provide account syncing, daily history, leaderboards, or cross-device totals, and it does not guarantee that your count will be restored after refreshing or closing the page.
Tap the wooden fish a few times during a work or study break as a brief way to shift your attention. During breathing exercises, select a slower automatic interval to use as a rhythm cue. It can also provide a lightweight interactive element for livestreams and gatherings. If the sound is distracting to you or anyone nearby, mute it while keeping the visual animation and count active.
Repetitive sounds may feel calming to some people and irritating to others. Adjust the volume and session length according to your own comfort, and do not treat this web tool as a treatment for anxiety, insomnia, or any other health condition. Stop using it if discomfort continues, and seek suitable rest or professional support when needed.
The tool plays a locally stored static audio file of a wooden fish strike and does not use your microphone to listen to your surroundings. Low-frequency sound varies across phone speakers, headphones, and computer speakers, so the recording may sound noticeably different from one device to another. Lower your system volume when using it at night, and take extra care with headphones to avoid starting auto-tapping at an unexpectedly high volume.
Do not operate the page while driving, using machinery, or doing anything that requires continuous attention. In public places, check that the volume will not disturb others. Wooden fish instruments have specific purposes and etiquette in religious settings; interacting with a recreational web page is not a substitute for training with a physical ritual instrument or following traditional practices.
Why is there no sound? Check the sound button, system volume, and your browser's autoplay restrictions, then tap the wooden fish manually once. What is the fastest auto-tapping speed? The shortest available interval is currently 0.5 seconds. Why does the count return to one after I reset it? Auto mode is still running, so the next scheduled strike increases the count again.
Is my merit count saved permanently? This version is designed primarily for immediate entertainment and does not guarantee that the count will persist after a refresh. Are the image and sound authentic? The interface uses a realistic image of a wooden fish, and the sound effect is a recording of a real wooden fish being struck. Can auto-tapping count silently? Yes. Mute the sound, then enable auto-tapping to keep only the animation and count.
