Deva is a digital prayer book for Hindu devotional texts. Forty-eight works — slokas, mantras, ashtottarams, stotras, the Hanuman Chalisa and the Lalitha and Vishnu Sahasranamams — presented as pages to turn, not as articles to scroll. Text is laid out for reading and reciting, with a running head, a folio line, and pages that repaginate around your font size rather than forcing you to pinch and zoom. READING • Swipe through pages laid out from the actual text, at your chosen size • Telugu, with Tamil, Kannada, Hindi and English transliteration • Converted scripts are labelled as converted, never passed off as the source • Four page themes, including a sepia and a night setting • Show the original alone, or with transliteration and meaning together • Your place is kept per verse, so it survives a change of font or language GUIDED READ • A highlight follows the line you are on, letter by letter, and turns the page when it reaches the bottom • Both scripts colour in step, so following along in transliteration works • Three speeds, a pause on any tap, and a beat between lines to draw breath CHANT MODE • Verse-by-verse for longer works, whole-mantra repetition for mantras • A digital mala that counts with a tap, with haptic feedback • Session history, so you can see what you have completed YOUR LIBRARY • Search across the whole library as you type • Browse by deity or by kind of work • Favourites, bookmarks, and Continue Reading OFFLINE Every text is bundled with the app. Deva makes no network requests at all — it works on a plane, in a temple basement, or with the phone in airplane mode. PRIVACY Deva has no servers and collects nothing. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, no permissions requested. What you read stays on your phone. A NOTE ON THE TEXTS Devotional text carries a duty of care. Every verse in Deva was supplied by hand and imported without correction, spell-checking or normalisation. Where a script was produced by converting another, the app says so on the page rather than letting it pass as the source. Signing in is optional. Reading never requires an account.
