JaapDaily passes 22 million chants, adds a big-screen Recite Along view before Navratri
The free, ad-free japa counter for iPhone, Android and Apple Watch now puts aarti lyrics on a TV or projector, with a QR code so devotees can follow on their own phones.
LYNNWOOD, Wash., Sep 24, 2026 — JaapDaily, a free japa counter for iPhone, Android and Apple Watch, has counted more than 22 million mantra repetitions since its launch in June, and has released a big-screen “Recite Along” view for the ten days of Navratri, which begins 11 October.
The new view opens any of the app's 114 aarti and chalisa texts on a laptop, a projector or a TV, showing one verse at a time in large Devanagari with a QR code in the corner. Devotees scan it to follow the same text on their own phones. Nothing is installed and no account is created, and the page keeps working without a connection once it has loaded — which matters in a mandap or a hall with poor signal.
Founder Dishika Singh built the app after losing count during her own daily practice. “I lost count of my mala 30 times before I built this,” said Singh. “JaapDaily exists as seva — selfless service. It will always be free, with no ads and no subscription, because a spiritual practice shouldn't sit behind a paywall.”
JaapDaily includes 74 naams — among them Ram, Radha, Shiva, Hanuman and Waheguru — and 39 mantras including Om Namah Shivaya, the Gayatri Mantra and the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra. The interface is available in 20 languages, while the naam and mantra text itself is never translated or machine-transliterated.
Every text in the library is published under a sourcing policy the app makes public: each mantra, chalisa and aarti is checked against at least two independently transcribed sources — a printed edition and a recorded recitation, for example — and a text that cannot be verified that way is left out rather than guessed at. The policy is published at jaapdaily.com/learn/editorial-policy.
Other features include a 108-bead mala ring, volume-button counting for chanting with the eyes closed, a standalone Apple Watch app with Digital Crown counting, karaoke-style scrolling lyrics, a dual-counter Anushthan mode for fixed-count vows, streak tracking and full offline use. Optional sign-in syncs practice across devices; no account is needed to start counting.
The app's Instagram account, @jaapdaily, has more than 40,000 followers, where chant-along videos run as short satsangs; one Radhe Radhe video has drawn more than 520,000 likes. Singh follows the teachings of Pujya Shri Hit Premanand Govind Sharan Maharaj, whose emphasis on naam simran shaped how the app treats counting as practice rather than as a score.
The app carries no advertising and has no paid tier. Donations made through it go to SPARK WA Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, for its non-profit work.
JaapDaily is available on the App Store and Google Play, and at jaapdaily.com.
