108-bead ring Focus mode Streaks & insights Apple Watch Chalisa & Aarti 20 languages

New Movable counter ring Volume buttons Sangrah — Chalisa and Aarti Cloud sync and optional sign-in

Counting

Every tap, counted with care.

The bead ring

A 108-bead ring that pulses with every tap. Every bead lights up in sequence. Daily and lifetime totals display at the top; your mala count sits at center. The ring is a more direct visual metaphor than a spinner — it's the same shape as what you might hold.

Movable counter ringNew

Make the counter yours. Turn on Drag mode in Settings → Counter and drag the bead ring to any corner, edge, or sweet spot on your screen — ideal for one-handed chanting or moving the ring off the devotional artwork. The ring stays within the screen edges automatically. Your position is saved and restored every time you open the app.

Settings → Counter: "Drag mode" toggle to enable drag; "Reset position" to re-centre the ring at any time. Not available in Anushthan mode — the dual-counter layout uses both halves of the screen.

Floating naam text

Every tap floats the naam upward in a script-correct font. Choose from a preset color palette or pick any HSV value. Optionally enclose it with ॥ X ॥ dandas in the traditional Devanagari style.

Volume buttonsNew

Press Volume Up to count each jap. Press Volume Down to undo the last one — so you can chant with your eyes closed, without watching the screen. Keep the app open with the screen on (turn on Keep Screen Awake so it won't dim); counting pauses while the app is in the background. Available on both iPhone and Android; toggle it on in Settings → Counting.

JaapDaily counts at every system volume level, including when the volume is already at maximum or minimum. Many apps stop registering presses at the extremes. The feature auto-suspends when the app backgrounds, so your regular media controls aren't affected outside the app.

Log your offline practice

Many devotees count with a finger tally counter, traditional mala beads, or mental count rather than tapping a screen. JaapDaily respects both. After your session, open the app and add your count — your daily total, lifetime total, mala completions, and streak all update exactly as if you had tapped each jap. You can also backfill past sessions up to 30 days from the History tab; if you forgot to log yesterday, your streak repairs itself automatically.

Anushthan dual-counter mode

Track a naam and a mantra side-by-side with independent mala sizes. Each rings its own bell. The interface splits in two — top zone for the Naam, bottom zone for the Mantra. History records each separately.

Focus & personalise

Just you and the count.

Focus mode

A full-screen wallpaper view with the screen kept awake. Five included wallpapers — Radha Krishna, Ram, Shiv, Hanuman, Krishna — plus one custom from your photos, and more to download on the web. Tap anywhere to count. Pinch out to exit. Status bar hidden. Just you and the count.

Themes

Six accent colors, light and dark mode, five included wallpapers.

Notifications, your way

Daily reminder at the time you choose. Milestone celebrations. Fully toggleable.

Progress

See your practice grow.

Insights

Daily bar chart with Today / Week / Month / All views. Best time of day. Momentum vs last month. Projected goal date. Stat cards for current streak, longest streak, and total malas completed. Switch the chart to Naam or Mantra to see which one you chant most — a leader card with its share of the period, the next four ranked below it, and the full list when there are more.

History

Every session by date. Calendar view. Search and filter by naam. Your full practice log, always on your device.

Goals and streaks

Set a daily and a lifetime jap goal. The streak counts every day you hit your daily goal. The math is calendar-correct: spring-forward and timezone changes don't break a streak. (This is a real bug we fixed in V1 — many japa apps still have it.)

Naams & texts

Your tradition, in your script.

Sangrah — Chalisa and AartiNew

A full library of Chalisa and Aarti texts: 51 Chalisas and 63 Aartis, 114 in all. Hanuman Chalisa, Durga Chalisa, and Om Jai Jagdish Hare are bundled in the app and always available offline; everything else downloads on demand and stays cached on your device until you remove it. Tap through each line at your own pace, switch between Devanagari, Roman transliteration, and English meaning, and turn on gentle background music for Aartis, with a mute toggle. Favorite entries sync the same way your Naam and Mantra favorites already do.

74 naams and 39 mantras

74 naams across 20 regional traditions, sorted regional-first per app language. 39 mantras across Vaishnav, Shaiva, Shakta, Universal, and Gujarati traditions, with full transliteration and Devanagari/Sanskrit/Gujarati originals. Add your own naam — stored exactly as you typed it, and delete it whenever you want. Hide any built-in naam you don't chant so the list shows only what you use; hiding is reversible and nothing leaves the catalogue.

VaishnavShaivaShaktaUniversalGujarati

20 languages

English, Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, Malayalam, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Sanskrit (transliterated), Japanese, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Indonesian. The naam text itself is never translated — only the app interface.

Devices & sync

On your wrist, your home screen, every device.

Apple Watch

A standalone watchOS app, not a remote control. Bead ring on the watch face. Tap the screen, twist the Digital Crown, or glance at the complication. The watch counts even when your phone is in another room. It syncs back when you reconnect.

A Wear OS companion app for Android watches is planned — for now, the watch app is Apple Watch only.

Home screen widgets

iOS small (2×2) and medium (4×2), Android small and medium. Today's count, streak, naam, and goal progress at a glance.

Cloud sync and optional sign-inNew

Your practice, on every device. Sign in once with phone number, email, Google, or Apple — your sessions, streaks, custom naams, and settings sync automatically across all your devices via Firebase. Sign-in is opt-in and always will be; the full app works without an account. For users who don't sign in, everything stays on-device as before.

iCloud and Google Drive backup

Device-level backup, separate from cloud sync and just as optional. Enable iCloud backup on iPhone or Google Drive backup on Android and your practice data rides along with your phone's own backup — restore it when you move to a new device. It stays in your iCloud or Drive storage, outside our servers and under your control; remove it anytime from your storage settings.

Chrome extension

Count from the browser toolbar on a computer: a 108-bead mala with thirteen naams, a shortcut that counts with the popup closed, and one permission — storage. It keeps its own count, and hands the round over to the web counter when you want a bigger screen.
