Jap-Mala - A Simple, Distraction-Free Meditation Companion
Jap-Mala is a thoughtfully designed meditation app that helps you focus on mantra repetition (japa) without distractions. Inspired by the traditional mala, the app provides a calm, tactile experience that lets you stay fully immersed in your practice-whether you meditate for a few minutes or complete long sādhanā sessions.
Designed for simplicity, Jap-Mala replaces physical bead counting with a gentle, intuitive digital mala, while preserving the rhythm, awareness, and discipline of traditional meditation.
