About

Click, click, click. Each tiny response in your fingertips becomes merit. A soothing idle game of turning a prayer wheel and accruing Merit. Every turn ticks past notch after notch with a satisfying pulse. Before you know it, you are still spinning. A prayer wheel is a devotional instrument: each turn counts as one recitation of the sutras. This game recreates that turning feel with meticulous care, built on the iPhone's haptic engine. Give it a gentle sweep, and let it spin. ■ Just turning — yet hard to stop - Sweep gently and the wheel coasts on, clattering with momentum - Every notch lands a small click and a little Merit - The Great Wheel starts out heavy; Bearing Oil and Training make it lighter ■ Merit grows the grounds - Exchange Merit for fixtures that turn wheels in your stead - A novice monk, prayer flags, a watermill wheel, a yak, an electric wheel, a great hall… out to a satellite wheel, a Dyson sphere, and beyond — eighteen fixtures in all - Every one you welcome truly appears in the grounds, and the scenery grows lively and grand - Turn the wheel yourself and the grounds resonate for extra yield; hand-turning remains the strongest act to the very end ■ The joy of collecting - A Book of Seals with 89 Seals to receive, including hidden ones with secret conditions - The Golden Lotus drifts down now and then — a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of fortune - Grow your Merit and undergo Rebirth: receive Bodhi and depart for a more fruitful next life - Dedicate Bodhi into the Mandala of Merit and weave your own Vows ■ The joy of competing - Climb Mount Tenrin, a mountain ranked by Merit earned in a single day; the higher you climb, the grander the Great Wheel's adornments - Game Center leaderboards: Today's Merit, Lifetime Merit, Today's Hand-Turns, Rebirths, and Bodhi — plus Seal achievements ■ Good to know - Free to play through to the end; no purchase required - Playable offline (the grounds keep turning while you are away) ■ About Patronage (monthly auto-renewing subscription) Patronage (monthly, auto-renewing, first 7 days free; price shown in the app) makes offline doubling and lotus encores free as our thanks (no ads, no Jewels), grants all output +25%, extends the offline harvest cap from 12 to 24 hours, and delivers 15 Mani Jewels monthly. - The free trial lasts 7 days; afterwards the subscription continues automatically at the monthly price (cancel during the trial free of charge; one trial per person) - Payment is charged to your Apple ID account - Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends - Manage or cancel anytime in iOS Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions Terms of Service: https://scalehaze.com/apps/maniwheel/terms-en.html Privacy Policy: https://scalehaze.com/privacy-en.html A quiet evening, after a bath, on the train. May you accrue your Merit in peace.

What's New in Mani Wheel

1.2.5

October 12, 2026

A chapter of signposts. - The right rail now stacks Settings, the Notice Board, Pilgrim Mountain, and the Mandala. A red dot shows when there is something to do, and the Mandala entrance reads "Rebirth ready" whenever you can be reborn - You can now be reborn from the card at the top of the Mandala. Before your first rebirth you can still open the Mandala and see the whole board - Your first dedication comes with a guide that stays until you have picked a bead on any of the three Paths and dedicated it - The Mandala's prayer-bead thread now glows by your progress: dedicated stretches stay lit, and each Path's next bead (or a gate in the way) pulses - The Unbinding confirmation now has a "Keep my Vows" button, and tapping outside it closes it - Guides to the Grounds: the first time you meet something new, a short guide explains it (replay them from Settings). Guides, Seals, and rankings that are still locked now say how to unlock them - Patronage gains a yearly plan with the same 7-day free trial as the monthly plan. After a rewarded ad, the app may occasionally offer it - As a Patron's thanks, blessing doublings are now free too (no ads, no Jewels) - Power Saving: when your device is in Low Power Mode or running warm, the grounds automatically move more gently (change it in Settings > Screen) - Game Center Merit rankings move to new boards that record Merit as a digit count (33.440 digits means a 33-digit number), so there is no ceiling. The Today's Merit Match challenge moves to the new board too - Incense now takes a single Mani Jewel (was three) to burn for an hour - Blessing chips now fit on one line instead of scrolling; tap them to see every active blessing - Assorted polish throughout, including spacing around the Merit display
