Vajra Path is a companion app for long-term preliminary practice tracking. We don’t teach any specific practice—we help you steadily record the commitments you’ve already received from your teacher. 【All included】 • Up to 12 practices: rename, reorder, total target, optional daily goal • Counting, progress, mandala, completion estimates • Journey calendar, text journal, voice journal with transcription • Custom practice images • Morning and evening reminders (off until you turn them on) • Home screen widget • Export / restore practices and counts (Files or iCloud Drive) • One on-device note per practice 【Contemplation】 • Short outer-preliminary readings: precious human life, impermanence, cyclic existence, cause and effect, the point of liberation, relying on a teacher • Original summaries, each naming the matching chapter of Words of My Perfect Teacher • The five preliminary “why we practice” pages stay as they were • Dedication after counting, and an optional “Today’s thought” • For the full teaching, please purchase and study Patrul Rinpoche’s Words of My Perfect Teacher 【Voluntary offering】 • Yearly and one-time purchases only support continued maintenance of this app • You can use every feature above without subscribing • Cancel the yearly plan anytime in the App Store 【Privacy first】 • Data stays on your device by default • No accounts, no upload of practice content • Delete voice notes, journals, and practice notes anytime • Backup is a JSON file you export yourself; it does not include audio or custom images 【Content boundary】 This app provides no mantras, visualizations, rituals, or oral-transmission content. Default preliminary names are labels only—please edit them as your teacher instructed. Contemplation text is an original summary, not practice instruction and not the book’s wording.
