Daimoku Counter helps you keep your daimoku record book. It counts your daimoku based on the pace you set (1,000 daimoku = X minutes) and keeps a record. Counter - Choose between a countdown timer and a count-up timer - Set how long 1,000 daimoku takes, and the timer gives you an approximate count - Pace can be set from "1,000 daimoku = 10 minutes" to "1,000 daimoku = 30 minutes" - Your chanting can be saved to your total in units of 1,000 - Choose automatic or manual saving - Pacemaker: keeps your rhythm with vibration, sound, or light - Ring the bell For a more accurate count, the app includes the pacemaker and buttons to adjust the count up or down. You can also add records manually in units of 1,000. To help you focus on chanting, this app does not run in the background. If the app stops, you switch to another app, or you answer a phone call, the timer and count will stop. In that case, return to the app and start the timer again. Your count is saved when the timer stops, so it may not be recorded if the app quits unexpectedly or your battery runs out. Because electronic records can be lost, we recommend using this app as a helper alongside a paper record book. Prayer List - Organize prayers into three types: Ongoing, Period, and Goal - Note start and end dates, purpose, goal, and actions - See how much daimoku you have chanted since each prayer began Chanting History - Look back with a list, a calendar, and monthly, yearly, and total charts - Chanting summary: days recorded, daily average, and more - Add and edit records manually Gongyo - Shows the Hoben and Juryo chapters with furigana - The silent prayers can be displayed by importing the PDF published on the Soka Gakkai official website Other - Weekly alarm: reminds you on the days and times you choose, with a passage from the Gosho - Today's Gosho - Theme colors and background images - App icon badge showing your total (in thousands) We hope this app helps encourage your daily practice. * All copyrighted works included in this app are in the public domain or royalty-free.
