The words behind the practice.
- Jaap (or japa)
- The rhythmic repetition of a sacred name or mantra, traditionally 108 times.
- Naam
- The name of the divine you chant — Ram, Krishna, Shiv, and many more.
- Mantra
- A longer sacred phrase, often Sanskrit. Hare Krishna, Om Namah Shivaya, the Gayatri.
- Mala
- The 108-bead garland that holds the count, traditionally rolled by hand.
- Anushthan
- A vow to chant a fixed count daily, for a fixed number of days. A practice with a beginning and an end.
Pick any. Chant any number. Jaap Daily holds the count.
Divine backgrounds, built in.
Free devotional wallpapers for your phone — download any you like, or set them in the app's Focus mode during your jap.
Browse all wallpapers →
Wallpapers also display in Focus mode — a full-screen view that keeps the screen awake during your sitting. Tap the expand icon on the counter screen to enter it.
Anushthan, the dual-counter way.
Track a Naam and a Mantra side-by-side, each with its own mala size. The interface splits in two — top zone for the Naam, bottom zone for the Mantra. Bell rings on both. History records each.
Your wrist becomes the bead.
Native watchOS app — not a remote control. Tap the screen, twist the Digital Crown, or just glance at the complication on your watch face. The watch counts even when your phone is in another room. It syncs back when you reconnect.
Privacy
Privacy, the real story.
Most devotional apps treat your spiritual practice like ad inventory. We do not. Here is exactly what happens with your data:
- Sign-in is optional. Use the app fully without an account. Phone, email, Google, and Apple sign-in are available if you want them.
- Anonymous by default. Your jap, your malas, your streaks — all stay on your device unless you choose to sync. If you sign in to back up or sync across devices, your data is stored securely on our Firebase backend. We never sell it, share it, or use it for ads.
- No ads. Ever. No subscription. Ever. Every feature is free for everyone.
- Minimal analytics. Firebase tells us when the app crashes and which features people use. We use it to fix bugs and prioritize updates — nothing more. Never shared. Never sold.
- You can delete your data anytime. One-click deletion here.
Why we built this
I lost count of my mala 30 times before I built this.
Every app I tried wanted my email, my data, or my money. None of them wanted my practice.
Jaap Daily is what I wanted to use myself. No account required. No tracking I cannot see. No ads, ever. Just a place to chant, and to remember that I chanted.
If it helps you, it serves its purpose.
— Dishika Singh
Free, supported by you.
JaapDaily has no ads, no subscription, no premium tier. Everyone gets every feature. This is devotion — if the app serves your practice, a one-time donation helps us build more free content for more people. The supporter badge is just a thank-you — no features are locked behind it.
