About Likhita Mantra Jaap
Likhita Mantra Jaap brings the ancient practice of likhita japa, writing the divine name by hand, to your iPhone, together with a digital 108-bead mala counter and gentle practice tracking. WRITE THE NAME (LIKHITA JAPA) • Take a sankalpa (vow): choose a name or mantra and a count of 108, 1,008 or your own goal • Write each repetition by hand on a beautiful writing canvas, just like pen and paper • Follow a guide script, or draw your own in any language or lipi • Every completed writing is counted towards your sankalpa automatically DIGITAL MALA (JAP COUNTER) • A full 108-bead mala wheel. Turn the beads with your thumb, exactly like a real mala • Soft haptic pulse every 9 beads so you can chant with eyes closed • Optional gentle chanting drone to settle the mind • Never lose count of your naam jap again TRACK YOUR SADHANA • Daily streak and best streak to build a steady habit • Weekly chart of your practice • A log of every sitting, writing and mala alike MADE FOR BHAKTI • Fully bilingual: English and हिंदी, switchable any time in Settings • Works with any mantra or name: Ram, Krishna, Om Namah Shivaya, Gayatri, Waheguru, or your own guru mantra • Warm, calm saffron design inspired by traditional practice PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no cloud. Your practice stays on your device • Works completely offline • Free to use, supported by unobtrusive ads. An optional dana (tip) lets you support development Likhita japa is a time-honoured sadhana: writing the name slows the mind, engages the hand, the eye and the heart, and turns repetition into meditation. Whether you are keeping a vow of one lakh names or simply want a peaceful five minutes a day, Likhita Mantra Jaap keeps count so you can keep your attention on the Name. Start your sankalpa today.
