What's New in Buddhist Sun

1.8.1+78

October 28, 2026

What's new in 1.8.1 Screen awake: tap the coffee cup on the home screen to keep the screen on while the app is open. Easier countdown controls: "Screen awake" and "Voice" are now simple tap buttons under the countdown, with an ⓘ button that explains them. Clearer voice announcements: the countdown voice recordings sound much clearer in English, Hindi, Khmer, Burmese, Sinhala, Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese. Meditation timer: the screen now stays awake reliably during a session, even after pausing or switching apps. Tidier home screen: the solar noon time is a little smaller.

Very Useful

This is useful for all who follow the precept of not eating after solar noon. It is not just 12:00. It is according to the sun.
