About MalaWatch: Prayer Bead Counter
The mala counter that actually feels like practice. MalaWatch gives you a tactile 3D bead wheel, Om Mani Padme Hum chant guidance, voice support, and haptic feedback on every bead - on iPhone and Apple Watch. FEEL EVERY BEAD A weighted 3D bead wheel moves as you count. Swipe down to advance one bead. Every bead returns a soft haptic click. Reaching your goal - 27, 54, or 108 - sends a completion pulse and starts the next round. HEAR THE CHANT The Om Mani Padme Hum guide lights up one syllable at a time as you count. In Follow mode, the app speaks each syllable aloud - Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum - so your eyes and breath can stay with your practice instead of the screen. In Silent mode, the syllable guide stays visual only. TRACK YOUR ROUNDS Your bead count and completed rounds are always visible. Progress saves automatically, so you can leave and return to your practice without losing your place. COUNT FROM YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app lets you count privately from your wrist with tap or Digital Crown input, haptic feedback on each bead, and a completion haptic at the end of a round. CHOOSE YOUR BEAD STYLE Choose from seven included bead styles: Basic Wood, Rosewood, Walnut, Agarwood, Jade, Obsidian, and Graphite. Each style has its own color palette and 3D bead feel. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE No account. No login. No internet connection required. Your practice data stays on your device. WORKS FOR ANY TRADITION Buddhist japa, Catholic rosary, Hindu mantra, breathwork rounds, affirmations, or any counting practice - MalaWatch holds the count so your mind does not have to.
