Jyotish Notes is a fast, beautiful Vedic astrology workbench — cast a chart in seconds, watch transits move over it, drill dashas to any depth, and keep a journal of what actually happened. Watch planetary transits and dasha progressions unfold together in one synchronized view. Play with informative overlays of multiple dasha systems (Vimshottari, Chara, Yogini and more) mapped against real-time transit positions. Parashari and Jaimini charts sit side-by-side as living references while the sky and dasha timelines move in concert, revealing cause and effect as they actually play out. Capture event notes directly against these charts. Everything stays private on your device. Start with a free try-out period, then continue with a nominal subscription that supports ongoing refinements. Study the classical systems the way they were meant to be studied — in motion, layered, and alive.
