Count your malas, offline & calm

Every feature, from the first launch.

No account, no login, no cloud. Everything runs on your device and works fully offline — nothing in this post is hidden behind a wall.

What Japa does

Japa is a calm, respectful mala counter for anyone who repeats a mantra as part of their daily sadhana.

One large tap surface counts each repetition. A gentle haptic pulse fires at 108 — completing one mala — so your eyes can stay closed and your focus stays inward. Every session is saved under the mantra you chose, letting you review your history and see how your practice has grown over days, weeks, and months.

Set a daily goal in malas, complete it, and earn a streak. A quiet session timer runs in the background so you know how long you sat. No beads to drop, no paper to lose, no cloud account required.

• Big tap counter with per-mala haptic at 108 • Unlimited custom mantras with personal notes • Daily mala goal and running streak • Session timer logged alongside bead count • Per-mantra history and lifetime totals • Fully offline — SwiftData, no account ever

What's inside

Mala counter — Full-screen tap area increments the bead count; a progress ring shows position within the current 108-bead mala; a gentle haptic fires at completion of each mala.
Mantra library — Create named mantras with optional personal notes (pronunciation, meaning). Each mantra accumulates its own session history and lifetime total.
Daily goal and streak — Set a target in malas per day. Home screen shows today's progress ring and current streak count; streak resets if the day's goal is not met.
Session history — Each completed session records mantra, date, bead count, malas completed, and duration. Browsable in a chronological list grouped by day.

Why we built it

Physical mala beads are easy to lose count on (especially at count 108), inconvenient to carry, and give no historical record. Existing japa apps either lack multi-mantra history, require accounts, bundle unwanted religious audio content, or bury the goal/streak features behind cluttered UIs — leaving practitioners to…

What makes it different

Japa focuses on the counting experience above everything else: a full-screen tap zone, per-mala haptic feedback at 108, clean per-mantra session history, and a daily mala goal with streaks — all fully offline with no account. Unlike DoJapa or Japa 108, it does not bundle audio streams, deity imagery, or cloud sync, ma…
