Record a mantra once in your own voice and let it repeat — 108 times, or as long as you sit. Mantra Repeater is a digital japa mala counter, a Sanskrit mantra library, and a home for mantras for sleep, guided meditation and breathwork, in one daily practice. CHANT ANY MANTRA, IN ANY VOICE Record your own voice, or choose from a library of Sanskrit mantras, stotras and bhajans with meaning and transliteration. Set a target of 108 or 1,008, let it loop, and the counter keeps your place — with the screen off, in your pocket, on your walk. Mark the mantras you keep coming back to and narrow the library down to just those. A JAPA MALA THAT COUNTS FOR YOU Tap the bead or let the count run on its own. Malas, rounds and daily totals are kept for you, so you can see a week of sadhana at a glance instead of guessing. SANKALP — CHANT TOGETHER Join a shared vow and watch a count that thousands are building together grow with every mantra you chant. Set your own goal inside it, follow its milestones, and see which Sankalps are coming up next. MANTRAS FOR SLEEP Put on a sleep mantra, set a timer, and let it fade out on its own after you have drifted off. Or follow the 4-7-8 breath — in for four, hold for seven, out for eight — until the night settles. Ask for help sleeping and the app will suggest where to start. MEDITATION, GUIDED AND SILENT Guided meditations for sleep and calm, with search and quick filters. Silent sittings with an interval bell that rings on time even with the screen locked. Mantra meditation plans you can follow for a week or a season. BREATHWORK Follow a glowing breath guide with calming sound, or breathe along with a mantra. Add guided breathing to any sadhana plan. SHARE YOUR PRACTICE Turn a finished session into a picture card with your count stamped on it, and send it to whoever you like. TALK TO A PRACTITIONER Book a one-to-one sitting with an astrologer or a teacher — readings, remedies and poojas, arranged from inside the app. MANTRA REPEATER PRIME Mantra Repeater is free to use. PRIME opens the full library and longer practice, as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time pass. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.
