Om Maṇi Padme Hūṃ is the six-syllable mantra of Avalokiteśvara (Chenrezig), the bodhisattva of compassion — perhaps the most widely recited mantra in the world. Practitioners often accumulate recitations: a mālā of 108, a daily commitment, or an accumulation of 100,000 and beyond as part of ngöndro or a retreat.
Counting an accumulation on a mala keeps the hands busy and the mind half on the number. NaamAmrit keeps the count for you — recite and the app counts by listening, with every repetition staying entirely on your phone.
Malas and a 100,000 accumulation
NaamAmrit counts in malas: each 108 completes a round with a gentle chime and haptic, so you feel the mala turn without looking. For an accumulation, set a Sankalp — a total by a date, such as 100,000 recitations — and the app tracks your progress faithfully, round after round, to completion.
Om Maṇi Padme Hūṃ is built in as a preset, so you can begin in a single tap.
Recite aloud or under the breath
Say it counts your exact recitations with the screen on; Chant counts by sound with the screen off and the phone in your pocket — so walking recitation, or a quiet sitting, works without a tap. Recite at your own pace; the app simply keeps the number.
Your practice stays private
The listening runs entirely on your device — your voice is never recorded, uploaded, or used to train anything. Only your count is kept, the app works fully offline, and there are no ads on any plan. A mantra received from your teacher can be sealed — counted but never shown or stored.

Questions practitioners ask
Can it count Om Mani Padme Hum automatically?
Yes. Om Maṇi Padme Hūṃ is a built-in preset — pick your mala style (27, 54, 108) and recite. Say it recognizes each repetition for an exact count; Chant counts by sound so it keeps working with the screen off. Each mala completes with a gentle chime and haptic.
Can it track a 100,000 accumulation?
Yes. Set a Sankalp with your total and a date — 100,000 or any number — and the app tracks your progress to completion, across as many sittings as it takes.
Does it work for walking recitation with the screen off?
Yes — that's what Chant mode is for. Recite and it counts by sound with the screen off and the phone in your pocket. For bead-exact precision, Say it and the tap counter are precise to the count.
Is my recitation 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.
