## What is Sadhana Sevak?

A steady practice is built one day at a time. Sadhana helps you keep the thread.

Made for devoted practitioners, Sadhana brings your whole spiritual life — chanting, hearing, study, seva — into one calm, beautiful place that stays out of your way. Less time tracking, more time practicing.

BEGIN WITH A SINGLE TAP

Start a session and let Sadhana count with you: a glowing chanting ring, a 108-bead counter, and a distraction-free focus screen. Chanting on a walk? Count rounds right from your Apple Watch, your Lock Screen, or the Dynamic Island.

MAKE SPACE FOR WHAT MATTERS

While you practice, Sadhana can gently shield distracting apps using Screen Time — open one, and you meet a quote instead. Schedule daily focus windows, or connect it to an iOS Focus mode.

EVERY LIMB OF YOUR SADHANA

• Chanting — timed japa with rounds and manual overrides
• Sravana — hearing, contemplation time, and written reflections
• Study — books, time spent, and reflections in a beautiful Markdown editor
• Seva — every service you offer, with time logging
• Gratitude — a simple daily journal
• Health — water, sleep, mood, and exercise, with optional Apple Health sync
• Wake-up and sleep times, plus custom activities for anything else your practice includes

WATCH YOURSELF GROW

Today at a glance on the dashboard. Every past day in the Chronicle. Your 7-day and 30-day patterns in Trends. And gentle reminders, so nothing slips through the cracks.

WALK WITH A GUIDE

Share your practice dashboard privately with a mentor through iCloud, and receive their guidance right in the app. Stop sharing anytime — it's your practice.

SACRED THINGS STAY PRIVATE

No account. No sign-up. No servers of ours — ever. Your practice lives on your device and in your own private iCloud, syncing seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, and working fully offline when you are. Automatic backups, readable exports, and App Lock with Face ID complete the picture.

Light, dark, and system themes. Siri and Shortcuts. Available in English, Spanish, French, Hindi, and Russian.

Whether you're keeping 16 rounds or simply trying to hear a little more each day, Sadhana keeps it simple — and keeps you practicing.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.14.0 — 2026-07-22

What's New in 3.14.0

A new Focus Reflection insight and more Focus/Screen Time reliability fixes.

- Added a distraction heatmap to Focus Reflection: see when distractions happen across the day, attributed to the practice that was active, with one gentle insight sentence summarizing the pattern.
- Fixed orphaned session data being silently disconnected from its day due to a rare cross-process timing issue — it's now automatically reattached.
- Fixed a race in accepting a mentor's CloudKit share.
- Fixed a race in Live Activity session commands (next round/pause/end) so rapid taps can't produce lost or duplicated effects.
- Fixed Focus coordination using the wrong storage path in some cases.
- Fixed Focus app and web-domain policies being applied dependently instead of independently — enabling/disabling one could unintentionally affect the other.
- Focus Screen Time selections now correctly handle apps marked "Always Allowed" in Screen Time.
- Diagnosed and hardened against a class of Focus-extension storage failures.

### 3.13.0 — 2026-07-21

What's New in 3.13.0

A round of Focus and Screen Time reliability fixes.

- Ending a Focus session now correctly attributes to the source that actually ended it.
- Focus motivational quotes no longer bind to a stale manual-session generation.
- Focus sources reconcile correctly after schedule/manual transitions and clock changes (e.g. daylight saving).
- If the Focus data store is temporarily unavailable, Focus now fails closed instead of proceeding with stale state.
- Stale scheduled-Focus callbacks are rejected instead of acting on superseded schedules.
- Scheduled Focus registration recovers automatically instead of getting stuck if interrupted.
- Overlapping scheduled Focus windows are preserved instead of one clobbering another.
- Focus leases renew correctly when driven from Live Activity controls.
- Focus shield ownership (manual vs. scheduled vs. Live-Activity-driven) is now tracked explicitly, closing several races between them.
- Returning to the app from the Focus shield is now handled reliably even under rapid taps.
- Focus Filter state transitions and teardown are now versioned so a stale transition can't clobber a newer one.
- Dashboard widget data from concurrent processes no longer overwrites itself.
- Watch session-start and Shortcuts/Siri-driven actions are now queued reliably instead of racing.
- Diagnostic logs from overlapping extension activity are now all preserved instead of some being dropped.
- Screen Time authorization checks and expired selection tokens now refresh and recover automatically.
- Imported Focus quote text is now protected from being overwritten during a backup/sync import.

### 3.12.0 — 2026-07-20

What's New in 3.12.0

A batch of data-safety and display fixes.

- Fixed the contemplation timer readout freezing while typing in the Sravana reflection editor, along with the associated CPU/battery drain.
- Fixed a stale round-reminder cleanup that could silently fail to remove reminders it had just logged as removed, leaving phantom round reminders behind.
- Seva, Sravana, and Study detail screens now save your details when you dismiss the screen, instead of only on normal navigation.
- Restoring from a Zip backup now shows a "Reading backup…" preview before restoring; merging a backup's files now asks for confirmation first.
- Day timelines (Chronicle and related views) now align to actual wall-clock minutes instead of a fixed offset, fixing drift around daylight saving transitions.
- Fixed timed meal entries routing to the wrong Health section, and fixed a second case where custom meal entries (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Brunch, Snack, and their Spanish/French/Hindi equivalents) could still reroute to Exercise.
- Fixed HealthKit rest-day ownership so synced rest entries attribute to the correct day, and made reconciling an imported HealthKit rest session with an existing one safer against data loss.
- Fixed merging free-text notes from two devices so overlapping edits converge correctly instead of one side's text getting dropped.
- Added mentor dashboard share management on Mac: see who has access to a shared dashboard, their role and permission level, and invite status, and manage or stop sharing.
- Smoothed several animations: the ember-mode ring and timer now grow into the freed space with an animated entrance, the player pill's presence transitions are more consistent, and the Watch's practice-progress arc glides instead of snapping on rapid taps.

### 3.10.0 — 2026-07-19

What's New in 3.10.0

A new Ember dim mode, a new Focus Reflection weekly report, a large batch of Live Activity reliability fixes, and background sync fixes.

- Added Ember mode: a dim, low-light display for Now Practicing, with an on/off switch and a configurable delay in Settings. Your activity heading, quote, and quick controls all stay available in the dimmed surface, and the auto-dim countdown now respects VoiceOver and backs off if you've opted out.
- Added a weekly Focus Reflection report showing your practice time, rendered directly in the Screen Time Focus Reflection screen.
- Fixed Study and Sravana sessions dropping their recording on stop, including when the session context was momentarily missing, and fixed stop-command centers double-committing.
- Fixed japa-named custom activities not routing correctly through the widget Stop button.
- Live Activities now re-register correctly when a session starts, end properly when requested, and no longer leave a stale one behind from a cancelled restore.
- Chanting Live Activity restores are now atomic and can no longer be clobbered by a race.
- Fixed a past-day chanting screen tearing down your currently-running Live Activity.
- Freshly-started Live Activities are now shielded from being killed by the launch cleanup sweep.
- Duplicate "Next Round" taps are now ignored instead of double-counting.
- Fixed chanting's elapsed time double-counting after a resume from pause.
- Dynamic Island timers now correctly freeze once an activity goes stale.
- Closed a race between background app-refresh and exit-time flush; background sync now runs reliably on scene-less launches, where it previously could silently not fire.
- Fixed extreme/invalid duration values being able to show garbage or crash instead of a clamped value.

### 3.9.0 — 2026-07-17

What's New in 3.9.0

A broad hardening pass: your typed reflections and notes are now protected from being lost, and several screens that could freeze under a large history no longer do.

- Sravana reflections and Study writeups are now saved atomically and retained until the save is confirmed durable, instead of being cleared before the write finishes — protects your typed content from being lost if a save fails or the app is interrupted. The same protection was added for Markdown notes.
- Restored legacy Gratitude drafts that could land on an empty day instead of showing up where you wrote them.
- Fixed the Trends screen, the People tab, and automatic backups being able to freeze the app on a large history; app launch/recovery no longer runs its scan on the main thread either.
- Apple Watch: catch-up syncing after a backlog, and the chanting sessions list with many entries, are both noticeably faster.
