Om Namah Shivaya — the five-syllable panchakshari — is among the most chanted mantras on earth. Its practice is rhythm: 108 on the rudraksha, eleven malas in Shravan mornings, jaap kept flowing through the watches of Shivratri night. And rhythm is exactly what a hand-held counter interrupts — the glance at the number, the thumb on the clicker, the bead lost when attention deepens.
NaamAmrit removes the interruption. Chant the mantra aloud or in a whisper and the app counts each repetition — no taps, no beads, no hardware. With the screen off and the phone in your pocket, the jaap continues through a walk, a commute, or a long seated sitting with eyes closed.
For daily practice and the big nights
Set a daily goal — one mala, eleven, or a free count — and watch the ring fill as you chant, with a soft chime and haptic each time 108 completes. For Shravan or a personal discipline, guided sadhana programs give your practice a multi-day arc, and festival practices mark the days that matter, Mahashivratri among them.
For a long night of jaap, the numbers take care of themselves: your session, your malas, and your lifetime total are all kept, and a sankalp can hold a bigger vow — a lakh of panchakshari by Shivratri — re-pacing your daily target as the weeks pass.
Silent about everything except the count
The listening runs entirely on your phone: your voice is never recorded, never uploaded, never used to train anything. Only the count is saved, everything works offline, and there are no ads on any plan, ever.

Questions about Shiva jaap with NaamAmrit
Can it keep up with fast, continuous jaap?
Yes — steady rhythmic repetition is what the counting is tuned for. Say it recognizes each repetition exactly with the screen on; Chant counts by sound and keeps going with the screen off and the phone in your pocket.
Will it work through a long Shivratri night?
Yes. Sessions have no time limit, the screen can stay off in Chant mode, and every mala completed lands in your history. Your only job is the mantra.
Can I chant other Shiva mantras too?
Yes — add any mantra you keep, in any script: Mahamrityunjaya, Shiva Panchakshari stotra lines, or your own. Choose any mala size, or count freely without a cycle.
Is my practice private?
Completely. Listening happens on your device — nothing is recorded or uploaded, only the count is kept, and the app works fully offline. No ads, on any plan, ever.
