What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated October 3, 2026
This update makes it easier to personalize your practice and see your progress over time — with no change to how counting itself works. NEW WALLPAPERS & COLOR THEMES Pick from a fresh set of built-in wallpapers and color themes to match the mood of your practice, or go further and set any photo from your own gallery as a custom background behind your mala ring. Your chosen theme is remembered the next time you open the app. MONTHLY CALENDAR VIEW A new calendar view shows your chanting activity day by day across the month, so you can see at a glance which days you kept up your practice and quickly spot any gaps in your consistency. YEARLY OVERVIEW Alongside the calendar, a new yearly overview rolls your monthly activity up into a full-year picture, so you can track your practice over months and seasons, not just the last few days. LIFETIME TOTALS THAT NEVER RESET Your total chant count and total malas completed are now stored as permanent lifetime figures. Unlike your daily or weekly stats, these never reset or get cleared, so years of practice can keep adding up in one place. LOG PHYSICAL MALA COUNTS Not every chanting session happens on the screen. If you complete rounds on real 108-bead prayer beads, you can now manually enter those physical mala counts so they are added to your stats and lifetime totals alongside your digital sessions, giving you one accurate record of your full practice. As always, the app works completely offline, with no account, no ads, and no tracking. Thank you for chanting with Japa Mala Counter!
