Daily japa is the heart of bhakti practice: one round is 108 mahamantras on the beads, and many devotees keep a vow of sixteen rounds a day. The counting itself, though, is a constant small tax on attention — fingers on beads, eyes drifting to a clicker, the worry of losing your place on a crowded train.
NaamAmrit was built to carry that tax for you. Chant the mahamantra aloud or in a whisper, and the app counts each repetition by listening — no taps, no beads required, no special hardware. Set your daily goal to 16 rounds (or 4, or 64), and watch the day's ring fill as you chant.
Rounds, not just numbers
NaamAmrit thinks in malas: every 108 counts completes a round, with a gentle chime and haptic so you feel the round turn without looking. Your day shows rounds completed against your goal, your streak shows how many days you've kept your vow unbroken, and your history keeps every day's japa — so "did I finish my sixteen?" always has an answer.
Chanting japa while walking is a beloved practice. With Chant mode the screen stays off, the phone stays in your pocket, and the counting simply continues — around the block or around the temple.
Your japa stays between you and Krishna
The listening happens entirely on your phone. Your voice is never recorded, never uploaded, never used to train anything — only the count is kept, and the app works fully offline. There are no ads on any plan, ever.

Questions devotees ask
Can it count my 16 rounds automatically?
Yes. Set your daily goal to 16 rounds (1,728 names) and chant — with Say it the app recognizes each mahamantra for an exact count; with Chant it counts by sound so it keeps working with the screen off and the phone in your pocket. Every 108 completes a round with a gentle chime and haptic.
Do I have to give up my japa mala?
Not at all — a mala is a beautiful thing and nothing here replaces it. NaamAmrit is for all the moments the beads aren't practical: a commute, an office, a walk, a queue. Some japa is always better than none.
Does it work while I walk with the screen off?
Yes — that's exactly what Chant mode is for. Say the mahamantra and it counts by sound with the screen off and the phone locked in your pocket. The count is close enough to trust; if you want bead-exact precision, Say it and the tap counter are precise.
Is my chanting recorded?
Never. The listening runs entirely on your device — no audio is recorded, uploaded, or used to train anything. Only your counts are saved, and the app works fully offline.
