In Sikhi, naam simran is the practice of dwelling in Waheguru's Name — with the breath, on a walk, in the ambrosial hours of amrit vela. Many who keep a daily jaap also keep a count: a mala of 108, a personal nitnem of so many repetitions a day. But glancing at a counter, or keeping tally on your fingers, pulls a little of the mind away from the very remembrance you sat down for.
NaamAmrit listens instead. Say "Waheguru" aloud or in a whisper and it counts each repetition — no taps, no beads, no special hardware. Set a daily goal, keep an unbroken streak, and let the app hold the numbers while you hold the Naam.
Made for the way simran is actually done
Simran doesn't only happen on a cushion. It happens on the morning walk, on the commute, in the minutes before sleep. With Chant mode the phone stays locked in your pocket and the counting continues by sound — at amrit vela or on a lunch break, eyes closed, hands free.
Waheguru is built in as a preset, displayed in Gurmukhi — ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ — and you can add any jaap you keep, in any script: Mool Mantar, Satnam, or your own. Choose a mala of 27, 54, or 108, or count freely without a cycle.
Your jaap is nobody's data
Everything runs on your phone: your voice is never recorded, never uploaded, never used to train anything. Only the count is kept, the app works fully offline, and there are no ads on any plan, ever. What you remember, and how much, stays between you and Waheguru.

Questions about simran with NaamAmrit
Does it understand Waheguru jaap specifically?
Yes — Waheguru is a built-in preset shown in Gurmukhi. With Say it, the app recognizes each repetition for an exact count; with Chant, it counts each by sound so it keeps working with the screen off. You can also add any other jaap you keep, in any script.
Can I do simran with the screen off?
Yes. Chant mode counts by sound with the phone locked and in your pocket — on a walk, during a break, or at amrit vela with your eyes closed. No screen taps, no beads, no special hardware.
Is anything recorded or shared?
No. The listening runs entirely on your device — no audio is recorded or uploaded, ever. Only your counts are saved, the app works fully offline, and there are no ads on any plan.
Does it replace a mala?
It doesn't try to. A mala in the hand is its own practice. NaamAmrit is for the many moments beads aren't practical — so the jaap continues instead of waiting for a quieter hour.
