What you can do in Japa on the web
The 108-bead counter
A large tap circle counts each repetition, a ring fills to 108 and starts again, and malas, beads, beads-in-mala and the sitting timer stay on screen the whole time.
A gentle pulse at each mala
Your device vibrates softly on every bead and more firmly when a mala completes, so your eyes can stay closed — with an optional chime if you want one.
Unlimited mantras with notes
Name each mantra, keep a personal note on pronunciation or meaning, and set its own daily goal in malas.
Daily goal and streak
The Today ring shows every mantra's goal combined; each mantra keeps its own streak of consecutive days the goal was met.
Per-mantra history and lifetime totals
Total malas, beads, sittings and practice time, this week's goals met, a seven-day log and a twelve-week practice map.
Export your practice
Pull every sitting out as a CSV, or take a full JSON backup of your mantras and history.
