How it started

Built for one person's jap.

Built by one developer, for their own jap. The first version had a counter, a streak, and nothing else. It ran on an old iPhone and kept no data anywhere except the device. That was the rule from day one.

Today it has 20 languages, an Apple Watch, 74 naams and 39 mantras — but the rule is the same: respect the user, respect the practice, ship nothing that gets in the way. Every feature has to earn its place.

The name Jaap Daily is a reminder, not a brand promise. Sit down, count, come back tomorrow.

The journey

  1. Day oneA counter and a streak

    On an old iPhone. Data on the device, nowhere else.

  2. Growing20 languages, Apple Watch

    Every script rendered correctly; a standalone watch app.

  3. Launch · June 2026iPhone and Android

    Free on both stores, no ads, no account needed.

  4. NowSangrah, sync, volume keys

    114 Chalisa and Aarti texts, optional sign-in, eyes-closed counting.

The rule

Three promises, since day one.

Respect the user

No account required, no tracking you cannot see, no ads — ever. Your data stays on your device unless you choose to sync.

Respect the practice

Naam text is never translated. Every script renders correctly. Texts are checked against independent sources before they ship.

Nothing in the way

Every feature has to earn its place. Calm screens, no streak-shaming, no premium tier to upsell.

Where donations go

Your donation serves something larger.

Every donation made through Jaap Daily goes directly to the SPARK WA Foundation — a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation.

Your contribution, however small, becomes part of something larger than one app.

Donations are optional. The app remains fully free for everyone, forever — no subscription, no premium tier, no ads.
