## What is Likhita Mantra Jaap?

Likhita Mantra Jaap brings the ancient practice of likhita japa, writing the divine name by hand, to your iPhone, together with a digital 108-bead mala counter and gentle practice tracking.

WRITE THE NAME (LIKHITA JAPA)
• Take a sankalpa (vow): choose a name or mantra and a count of 108, 1,008 or your own goal
• Write each repetition by hand on a beautiful writing canvas, just like pen and paper
• Follow a guide script, or draw your own in any language or lipi
• Every completed writing is counted towards your sankalpa automatically

DIGITAL MALA (JAP COUNTER)
• A full 108-bead mala wheel. Turn the beads with your thumb, exactly like a real mala
• Soft haptic pulse every 9 beads so you can chant with eyes closed
• Optional gentle chanting drone to settle the mind
• Never lose count of your naam jap again

TRACK YOUR SADHANA
• Daily streak and best streak to build a steady habit
• Weekly chart of your practice
• A log of every sitting, writing and mala alike

MADE FOR BHAKTI
• Fully bilingual: English and हिंदी, switchable any time in Settings
• Works with any mantra or name: Ram, Krishna, Om Namah Shivaya, Gayatri, Waheguru, or your own guru mantra
• Warm, calm saffron design inspired by traditional practice

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no cloud. Your practice stays on your device
• Works completely offline
• Free to use, supported by unobtrusive ads. An optional dana (tip) lets you support development

Likhita japa is a time-honoured sadhana: writing the name slows the mind, engages the hand, the eye and the heart, and turns repetition into meditation. Whether you are keeping a vow of one lakh names or simply want a peaceful five minutes a day, Likhita Mantra Jaap keeps count so you can keep your attention on the Name.
