每天留十分鐘給自己,也給你掛念的人。 念念生福是一款溫柔的誦經陪伴 App。跟著誦念聲一句一句念,畫面逐字點亮你念到哪裡,不會跟丟;念完一次,為你的功德樹澆一次水,把這份功德迴向給你掛念的人——生病的家人、遠方的朋友、一件放不下的事,或一切眾生。 【逐字跟讀,不會念也能開始】 很多人想念經,卻卡在「不會念、跟不上、不知道念到哪」。念念生福把經文變成跟讀的形式:誦念聲帶著你,一字一字點亮進度,速度可以調整,木魚聲跟著誦念一字一敲。第一次念經的人也能安心開始。 【三種誦念聲音】 普門品與心經備有小圓、小悟、小定三種誦念聲音——溫柔的、沉穩的、莊嚴的,選一個你聽了最平靜的。其他經文也有朗讀人聲可選。 【迴向功德簿】 把你掛念的人記進功德簿:家人、朋友、一件事、一切眾生。每次念經前勾選這次要迴向給誰(可以多位),念完自動為每一位累積功德次數。翻開功德簿,看得到你為媽媽念了幾次、最近一次是什麼時候——念經不再只是播放器,是一本寫給所愛之人的紀錄。 【功德樹:7、21、49、108】 每次誦經澆灌一棵功德樹。第 7 次發芽、21 次長成小苗、49 次成樹、108 次開花圓滿;開花後這棵樹收進你的樹園,再種下一棵。修行的累積,看得見。 【我的樹園】 每部經文有自己的樹。樹園裡看得到每棵樹的進度、已開花的收藏,和你一路念過來的軌跡。 【每日提醒】 選一個屬於你的時間,讓木魚或鐘聲輕輕提醒你:今天還沒念經。不綁連續打卡、不會因為你休息一天就碎念。 【分享成果】 念完可以把成果做成一張卡片,分享給一起修行的家人朋友,或存進相簿。 【無帳號,資料只在你手機裡】 不用註冊、不用登入、不需網路連線。所有修行紀錄只存在你自己的手機,不上傳、不追蹤,也沒有任何第三方廣告或分析工具。 【免費與進階】 免費即可完整體驗核心流程:普門品與心經兩部經文,功德樹長到第 7 次發芽。想走完 108 次的完整旅程、解鎖全部經文、多位迴向對象與每日提醒,可訂閱進階版(月/季/年三種方案,皆含 7 天免費試用,隨時可取消)。 適合這些人:想為家人祈福、把功德迴向給所愛的人;想建立每天念經的習慣,但不喜歡被打卡壓力綁架;家裡長輩想念經,需要有人聲帶著念的溫柔工具。 願每天十分鐘的誦念,為你和你所愛的人,帶來一點平靜。 使用條款(EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ 隱私政策: https://chantandbloom.honulab.com/privacy.html
