Pray before you scroll. Hindu Mode locks the apps that pull you away, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, whichever you choose, at your prayer times, and keeps them locked until you've done a short puja. Morning, sandhya, night. Then the phone is yours again, on your terms. It's not about more willpower. It's about who you turn to first. MADE FOR EVERY HINDU Tell us who you pray to, Shiva, Hanuman, Ganesha, Krishna, Lakshmi, Durga, Ram, Kali, Venkateswara, Murugan, Ayyappa, Shirdi Sai, and more, and every prayer is addressed to your ishta, in your language (English, Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Punjabi). This isn't one tradition's app. It's yours. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps to lock and your prayer times 2. At puja time, your apps lock and you get a gentle nudge 3. Tell us how your mind is, restless, anxious, tired, grateful… 4. Read the short prayer written for that moment, grounded in a real line of scripture 5. A few beads of jaap on the mala, or today's shloka, line by line 6. Your apps open. Go gently. YOUR TEXTS, NOT JUST ONE β€’ Hanuman Chalisa, Sundarkand, Ramcharitmanas, Ram Raksha β€’ Bhagavad Gita, all 700 verses, Sanskrit + meaning + reflection β€’ Shiv Chalisa, Rudrashtakam, Lingashtakam, Shiv Tandav, Mahamrityunjaya β€’ Durga Chalisa, Devi stotras, Argala, Saraswati Vandana β€’ Ganesh Atharvashirsha, Sankat Nashan, Pancharatnam β€’ Vishnu Sahasranama, Venkateswara Suprabhatam β€’ Lakshmi stotras, Shri Suktam, Kanakadhara β€’ Aartis, Om Jai Jagdish Hare, Jai Ganesh Deva, Om Jai Shiv Omkara… β€’ Gayatri, Shanti mantras, Upanishads β€’ Kanda Shasti Kavasam, Harivarasanam, Sai aartis Every line in the original script with easy pronunciation and plain meaning.
