Naam. Mantra. Mala. One beautiful counter for your daily practice.

"Close your eyes. Speak the name. Let the counting take care of itself."

Jaap Jap is a spiritual counter with two modes of practice. Choose Naam Jap for free-flowing repetition of the divine name with a daily goal, or Mantra Jap for traditional 108-bead mala rounds — complete with a visual bead ring that turns as you count and a gentle bell at the end of every round.

Count by touch — or by voice

Tap to count, or go completely hands-free with Voice Jaap: chant aloud and the app listens on-device, counting each repetition while your eyes stay closed and your hands stay still. Audio is never recorded and never leaves your phone.

"The mala is beautiful — but your hands aren't always free. Your voice always is."

A companion for the journey — powered by Apple Intelligence

On supported devices, Jaap Jap adds a private AI layer that runs entirely on-device using Apple's Foundation Models:

  • Companion chat — ask about mantras, traditions, or pronunciation, or ask "how am I doing?" and get an answer grounded in your real practice stats
  • Mantra auto-fill — type a name like Waheguru and the script, transliteration, meaning, and mala target fill themselves in
  • Practice reflections — warm, grounded reflections on your streaks and totals
  • Sankalp ideas — short intention phrases to begin each session with purpose

No cloud, no account, no data leaving the device — and on older iPhones the counter simply works beautifully without the AI.

Built for consistency

  • Streaks & stats for every mantra you practice
  • Daily reminders so the practice never slips
  • Share cards to celebrate completed malas and milestones
"Sit. Breathe. Chant. Jaap Jap takes care of the rest."

Download Jaap Jap and make every spare moment a moment of practice.
