Read full descriptionHide full description
Nitnem is the complete set of Sikh daily prayers, presented with care and read entirely offline. Included in full: • Japji Sahib • Jaap Sahib • Tav Prasad Savaiye • Benti Chaupai Sahib • Anand Sahib • Rehras Sahib • Kirtan Sohila • Sukhmani Sahib Every verse is shown in up to four scripts at once, Gurmukhi, Devanagari, Roman transliteration, and English translation, each independently switchable, so you can read exactly the way you're comfortable with. Font size is adjustable across a wide range for every script. The app tone adjusts to suit the time of day, and remembers your place in every bani, so you can pick up right where you left off. For longer banis like Sukhmani Sahib, jump straight to any page by number. All prayer text is bundled with the app and stored on your device. Nitnem makes no network requests, collects no data, shows no ads, and requires no account or sign-in.
