Mala Counter is a calm, distraction-free counter for mantra, japa, prayer, and meditation. One big number, gentle haptics, and just enough structure to stay present—without turning practice into another feed. WHY MALA COUNTER • Tap to count with satisfying haptic feedback (you can keep your eyes closed). • Follow progress through a full mala round (default 108 beads; adjust beads per round to match your tradition). • Today’s total and session count at a glance. • Monthly calendar heatmap so you can notice patterns without living in the numbers. • Day streaks to celebrate consistency—without pressure. BUILT FOR FOCUS Dark, minimal design. Three tabs: count, history, settings. No social layer and no ad clutter—just your practice. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Counts, history, preferences, and streaks are stored on your device. There is no login or cloud sync in this version—your practice log does not leave your phone through the app’s core features. MALA COUNTER PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Upgrade to unlock: • Multiple practice types (e.g. mantra, chanting, meditation, prayer) • Full history list with breakdown by practice • Daily targets per practice • Deeper streak insights Premium is a subscription billed through your Apple ID.
