Sarathi is a simple way to run structured, timed sessions on your phone. Create activities, build a plan, start the session, and let Sarathi guide each step with clear transition cues and a live countdown. When the session ends, a log is saved automatically so you can review details and add notes. Sarathi is built for real use: - Works offline. - Keeps timing accurate over long runs. - Continues with background-safe cues when your phone is locked. - Lets you track participants by count or by name. - Exports a clean share card image from any log. Privacy is a core part of the product: - No account, no sign-up. - No analytics or telemetry. - Data stays on your device. Participant names are never shown on shared cards. If you want app lock, you can use Face ID, fingerprint, or a custom PIN. You can also skip lock entirely and change this later in Settings.
