## What is Turn Beads?

Does your mind race? Does the constant noise of your thoughts drive you crazy?

People have known the solution for thousands of years. The Calming Power of Repetition.

One sacred phrase, held lightly in the mind. One bead turned at a time. The rhythm does something that willpower alone cannot — it gives the restless mind something to follow until, gradually, the noise begins to settle.

Turn Beads is a meditation tool for the ancient practice of sacred repetition — japa in the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, the rosary in Christianity, affirmation work in modern practice. Whatever your words, whatever your tradition, the beads keep the count so your mind can let go.

Beautiful to use. Simple to learn. Deep enough to last a lifetime.

• Stunning bead collections — rudraksha, crystal, amethyst, rose quartz, lotus and more
• Guided recordings: mantras, prayers and affirmations read by master practitioners
• Record your own voice — your words, your practice, your library
• Swipe to count silently, or let autoplay carry you through a full round
• Choose your count — 11, 33, 50, 60, 99, 100, 108, or set your own
• A gentle chime marks each completed round
• Sleep timer, daily streaks, and session stats

Whether you're ten years into a daily practice or you just discovered that your mind never stops — Turn Beads meets you exactly where you are.

Turn Beads is Module II in the Stop The Mind practice series.
One bead at a time.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.2 — 2026-08-24

**Crossfade Autoplay**
You may not know the word "crossfade," but you'll feel the difference — Autoplay now blends smoothly from one recitation to the next instead of leaving a gap or hard stop between them. A new slider gives you precise control over that spacing, from a gentle pause all the way to a seamless blend.

**Set Your Rounds**
Want Autoplay to stop after 1, 2, or 3 rounds instead of running forever? You can now set that right in Settings → Swipe & Autoplay → under "Number Of Rounds."  When might you want to use this?  Well, it's a great feature if you are turning the beads to a longer text, such as the Guru Gita, the Hanuman Chalisa or the Rosary, which may feel complete after one round of the beads, without necessarily wanting to hear the start begin again automatically on autoplay.

### 3.1 — 2026-08-19

Now you can read along as you listen to the mantras, prayers, sacred wisdom texts or affirmations. The new CC button in the lower left corner lets you easily toggle the text on and off. Dip into settings for the Main Display to change the font size and transparency to your preference.
Recording your own sayings or importing audio from others? You'll have a chance to enter text to read with it too.
 We've added this not simply because it makes it easy to learn new chants or prayers, or to be able to understand words that may be new to you, but also because something uniquely wonderful happens when you read and listen at the same time. It's like both the left and right hemispheres of the brain become simultaneously involved. Watch how much more deeply you'll be able to absorb everything when you try this. And of course... it works in autoplay or swipe mode.

### 3.0 — 2026-08-13

Version 3.0 brings the ability to read along as you listen to the mantras, prayers, sacred wisdom texts or affirmations.  The new CC button in the lower left corner lets you easily toggle the text on and off.  Change the font size and transparency by going into Settings > Main Display > Read Along.

Even when you are recording your own sayings or importing audio from others, you'll have a chance to enter text to read with it.

### 2.14 — 2026-08-11

A fourth major category has arrived: Sacred Wisdom. Turn the beads to inspiring texts and poetry from the great wisdom traditions, listen throughout the day on autoplay, fall to sleep with these inspiring words filling your dreams.

### 2.12 — 2026-08-10

• With new multi-verse texts now available in the app comes a new ability to track your verse number more closely - check out the setting to make the bead counter extra large (Main Display panel).

• Smoother, uninterrupted playback when waking your phone mid-verse from auto-dimming or after a phone call.

• Free tracks are now labeled "Free" at a glance in Get More

• Now you can also expand your library with the Buy Now button within the info page about each track.
