Begin each day
with the divine
Sadhana is a daily mantra, a shloka with its meaning, and ten minutes of guided dhyana — then one honest line of Svadhyaya before the day takes over. Small enough to keep, and it keeps the record for you.
Ten minutes, three small things
Daily Remembrance is the day’s practice: a mantra, a shloka, and an honest line of Svadhyaya.
Chant the mantra
The day’s mantra, with its meaning beside it — so you know what you are saying, not only how it sounds. Tap Chant Now and begin.
Sit with a shloka
One verse, full-screen, with its source cited so you can always find it again. Keep it, share it, or set it where you will see it.
Study yourself
Svadhyaya is self-study — a short, private look at your own day. One prompt, one line, and months later a record only you can read.
A practice, not a quote feed
The mantra is the front door. What keeps people in the app is everything built around it.
Guided dhyana, screen locked
Guided meditation with a real player — shuffle, repeat, a scrub bar and fifteen-second jumps. It keeps playing with the screen locked, and the controls sit on your lock screen.
The meaning, beside the words
Every mantra and every shloka carries its meaning and its source — so nothing is chanted blind and everything can be looked up.
Playlists for your ishta-devata
Group what you chant into playlists of your own — by deity, by mood, or by the mornings that need the most help.
A private Svadhyaya
A prompt, a mood, and a line of your own. It is stored under your account and nobody else reads it — that is rather the point.
Mood you can actually see
Your Mood Over Time and Today’s Mood Journey, charted from your own entries — so a heavy week reads as a dip rather than a verdict on your practice.
A mantra on your home screen
A widget on the iPhone Lock Screen and Home Screen, and on Android’s home screen — a fresh line a day, without opening the app.
Sound to sit underneath
A browsable audio library behind the practice, including a silent option for the mornings when you want the words bare.
Collections & history
Keep the lines that carried you, group them into collections, and find anything again from a searchable history.
Your Svadhyaya is nobody else’s business
What you write is stored under your own account so it follows you to a new phone, and that is all it is used for. It is not read for advertising, not used to train anything, and not shared. You can delete the account, and everything in it, from inside the app.
One line, understood
A full chapter of the Gita before work is a lot to ask. One shloka, with its meaning beside it and its source under it, is not — and it is far more likely to still be with you at lunchtime.
-
Always sourced The chapter and verse are on the card, so you can open the text and check it yourself.
-
Browse by topic or theme Stillness, courage, gratitude — or change the whole look of the feed from the Themes picker.
-
Sound underneath, or none A browsable audio library sits behind the practice, including a silent option when you want the words bare.
-
Keep it or send it Save a line into a collection, share it with someone who needs it, or save the image for your own screen.
Study yourself, a line at a time
Svadhyaya is self-study, not a mood tracker borrowed from somewhere else. Sadhana just makes it small enough to actually do, and keeps the record so you can look back honestly rather than relying on how this particular morning happens to feel.
-
A prompt instead of a blank page You are answering a question, not staring at an empty box at 6am.
-
Your Mood Over Time Charted from your own entries, over weeks, so you can see the shape of a season rather than one bad night.
-
Morning, afternoon, evening Today’s entries side by side — the shape of a single day, not just its average.
-
It has its own streak Svadhyaya is tracked separately, so the habit builds even on days the rest does not happen.
The reminder already on your screen
The hardest part of any daily practice is remembering it. A widget removes that step: the line is simply there when you pick up your phone, and one tap opens it in full.
-
Lock Screen and Home Screen Small and medium widgets on the iPhone Home Screen, a rectangular one on the Lock Screen from iOS 16, and a resizable widget on Android.
-
Sourced on the widget too The line carries its source on the widget, not just the words on their own.
-
A new one every day Chosen from the same pool as the app, refreshed once a day, and picked up again if a refresh is missed.
-
Tap through to the source The widget deep-links to that exact line, not just to the app’s home screen.
Straight from inside the app
Real screens: your day, a mantra, the journey, the Svadhyaya chart and the widget.
