Gurbani Soul is the complete Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji on your device — all 1,430 Angs, reproduced verbatim and cited by Ang. Nothing is paraphrased, normalised, or AI-generated: what you read is the scripture, exactly, checked against a SHA-256 checksum when installed or updated. READ • The full Granth, verbatim, in a beautiful Gurmukhi typeface (Sant Lipi). • Turn pages, jump to any Ang, resume where you left off. • Every composition opens with its printed heading, and every verse is cited by Ang. • The traditional saroop draws the subjoined ya under the letter, as the printed Bir does. One tap shows the stored characters; Copy and search always use them. SEARCH • Type Gurmukhi, or type how it sounds in Roman letters. • Search by first letters, the way Gurbani is traditionally recalled. • Explore by theme across the whole Granth. NITNEM • The daily banis by time of day, read pauri by pauri, with your place kept in each one and a quiet record of the days you read. • Build your own Nitnem set, and choose the Rehras Sahib reading you follow. • Optional reminders at times you choose — scheduled on your device, never from a server. • An optional Live Activity shows your reading progress on the Lock Screen. It never shows a verse. • Nitnem also includes banis from Sri Dasam Granth and Ardaas, shown as a separate, clearly labelled layer — never presented as part of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. HUKAM • Draw a complete Hukam unit any time. WIDGETS • Hukam, the current raag watch, and today's Nitnem on your Home Screen. RAAG CLOCK • See which raags belong to the current watch of the day, with an optional solar mode that uses sunrise and sunset for your location, computed on the device. EXPLORE • The contributors and their centuries, the 22 Vaars and their structure, and themes and their relationships across the text. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No network connection is ever made. No analytics, no tracking. • Your saved verses stay on your device (and in Spotlight, if you choose to save them). • Location, if you allow it, is rounded to about 1 km and never leaves the device. FAITHFUL BY CONSTRUCTION • The text is reproduced character for character from the source edition. Its SHA-256 checksum is verified in full when the app is installed or updated, and re-checked whenever the bundled file changes; every launch confirms the file is unchanged and the structure is intact. Nothing is corrected, normalised or paraphrased. Works with Siri and Shortcuts: "Today's Hukam", "What raag is it now", "Read a bani", "Search Gurbani" — plus an "Open Ang" action in the Shortcuts app. Gurbani Soul is built by Algorythmos, an Australian company building trustworthy knowledge systems. ## Is Gurbani Soul safe?

The bars step aside, and "Exit Sehaj" brings them back. • Nitnem: short-line banis such as Jaap Sahib and Chaupai Sahib read like a gutka, two half-lines to a row, with the chhand headings set bold and centred. • Clearer transliteration, and a quiet break between shabads. The text of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is unchanged. ### 1.4.4 — 2026-10-18 A new app icon, and the subjoined ya now looks as it does in the printed Bir. • A new app icon and launch screen: ੴ above an open pothi, in gold. • Words such as ਜਲੵਨ (Ang 1400) show the ya tucked under the letter, as the Bir prints it. The traditional saroop is a display choice: one tap in More shows the stored characters, and Copy and search always use them. • Larger text: the Reader's page bar stays on one line at the largest text sizes, and VoiceOver reads each Ang number clearly. • Rate and share Gurbani Soul from More. • Steadier everyday use: your Rehras choice now applies to the standard Nitnem set, the reading journey shows the right day in every time zone, and saved verses, Home Screen search and Nitnem progress are better protected. The text of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is unchanged. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-15 You can now remove what the app keeps on your device. • Forget location: when the Raag Clock uses your location for sunrise and sunset, a "Forget location" button deletes the saved location from the app and its widgets. • Clear reading history: the Reading journey screen can clear your Nitnem reading history. • Home Screen search stays in step: when your saved verses are reset, they are removed from search as well. The text of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is unchanged. ### 1.3.10 — 2026-10-13 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Gurbani Soul | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [iSearchGurbani](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/isearchgurbani/id6744822993) | — | Free | Reference | | [Sikh World - Nitnem & Gurbani](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sikh-world-nitnem-and-gurbani/id1177339919) | 4.8 (403) | Free | Reference | | [iCharging - play screensaver](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/icharging-play-screensaver/id1555857433) | 4.3 (294) | Free | Reference | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
