Count your naam.
Anywhere. Hands-free.

NaamAmrit listens for your naam through any earbuds or just your phone's mic. With Say it, softly say your naam and the app recognizes each repetition for an exact count, best with the phone in hand; with Chant, say your naam and it counts each by sound, so it keeps counting with the screen off and your phone in your pocket, eyes closed and hands free; and with Upāṃśu, whisper the naam softly under your breath and it counts each murmur — the quiet, classical register of japa. Prefer touch? There's a classic tap counter and a dark, invisible tap mode too. You pick the mode, start, and put your device away. No tapping a screen 108 times, no mala, no special hardware. Hands-free is part of Premium, but you don't have to take our word for it — every free user gets a free hands-free taste each day, a full mala (108 naam) on us. No watch? A gentle tilt of the phone counts each naam too — and Apple Watch counting is built in (see the smartwatch question below).

No — and that's the whole point. NaamAmrit works with just your phone or any earbuds you already own: with Say it, softly say — or whisper — your naam and the app recognizes each repetition for an exact count; with Chant, say your naam and it counts each by sound, so it keeps counting with the screen off and your phone in your pocket, eyes closed. No special hardware required. For even more discreet counting there's the phone-tilt mode — a gentle tilt counts each naam, no watch needed. (Do have a watch? See the smartwatch question below.)

It's a jaap app with AI where AI genuinely helps — and we're precise about which is which. Say it is powered by on-device AI speech recognition: it recognizes each repetition of your naam for an exact count. Chant deliberately uses a simpler sound detection instead — lighter on battery, and it keeps counting with the screen off in your pocket, where heavier speech recognition can't. Everything runs on your device: your voice is never recorded, uploaded, or used to train anything, and it all works offline. The AI serves the practice — it counts so your attention stays on the naam — it never does the jaap for you. Next on the roadmap: a weekly AI reflection — a short, warm note written from your week's totals (only those few aggregate numbers would ever be sent, never your history, and nothing stored) — and an AI Sadhana Guide you can ask about mantras, goals, and festivals, built with the same privacy-first rules.

Yes. Counting happens on your own device and runs in the background. We don't broadcast, and your microphone audio is never recorded or uploaded — only the count is saved. It also works fully offline, and what you chant, and how much, stays with you.

Absolutely. Set any mantra, pick your mala style — 27, 54, 108, or a full 1008, or count freely without a cycle — and set any daily goal you like. NaamAmrit remembers your setup for next time.

No. NaamAmrit supports jaap, japa, simran, and mantra practice across Hindu, Sikh, and Buddhist traditions — and anyone who counts a mantra.

The classic tap counter is free forever — the full mantra library plus one custom mantra, your daily goal, Sankalp vow, streaks, and cloud backup so you never lose your practice, all included. Premium adds hands-free counting (Say it, Chant & Upāṃśu whisper), Apple Watch, phone-tilt, guided sessions, unlimited custom mantras, and insights — $4.99/month or $39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. In India it's ₹149/month or ₹999/year. Prices are shown in your local currency on the App Store, and you can cancel anytime. Founding members can also unlock Premium for life with a one-time payment, until August 31, 2026.

Yes — Apple Watch is built in, and here's exactly what works where. On any Apple Watch running watchOS 10 or later (Series 4 and newer): count with a tap, the Digital Crown, or a wrist-flick, phone in your pocket. On Series 9, Ultra 2 and newer: the Double Tap pinch (tap your index finger and thumb together twice) also counts — the watch's newest hands-free gesture. And on Series 8 and newer, Gupt Jaap keeps a hidden sitting: arm at your side, screen dark, a gentle thumb-to-finger pinch counts each naam, answered by a silent wrist tap. Everything syncs live between wrist and phone (part of Premium). No watch at all? The phone-tilt mode counts with a gentle tilt of the phone. Wear OS (Samsung & Google) watches are coming — we'll announce them the moment they're ready.

The app speaks nine languages — English, Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Bengali — with more on the way. Your naam itself is never limited — you can set any mantra, in any script or language you practice in, and NaamAmrit simply counts it for you.

No. NaamAmrit works fully offline. Counting, your mantras, your targets, streaks, and history all live on your device — you can do your jaap on a flight, in a basement, or anywhere with no signal at all. A connection is only used if you choose to sign in for cloud backup (free) — counting itself never needs one.

No — there are no ads in NaamAmrit, on any plan, ever. Your jaap is a sacred space and we keep it that way. The app is supported by Premium subscriptions, not advertising.

Honestly, it's a version one that keeps improving with every release. Chant counts your naam by sound so it can keep going with the screen off, and sensing sound with a machine is genuinely hard, so an occasional round may read one short or one over. If you want an exact count, Say it recognizes each naam precisely, and the tap counter is precise to the bead. We'd rather tell you this plainly than overpromise a precision no app can truthfully claim.

NaamAmrit is live on the App Store for iPhone (with Apple Watch support built in) — search “NaamAmrit” or use the download button at the top of this page. Free to download; the tap counter is free forever.
