Keep your good fortune close. Kavach brings nazar and lucky charms to your iPhone Home Screen. Choose a symbol with a story that speaks to you, keep it close as a widget, and open the app for a small ritual of your own. CHARMS ROOTED IN TRADITION Discover six charms inspired by customs of protection, good fortune and new beginnings: - Nazar boncugu: the familiar blue evil eye charm - Nimbu-mirchi: a lemon-and-chilli doorway charm - Drishti bommai: a guardian against envy - Ghanta: a temple bell for a moment of focus - Mango-leaf toran: a welcome for auspicious beginnings - Wind chime: gentle notes for a little calm Read the meaning and story behind each one, including traditions associated with protection from nazar, or the evil eye. A LITTLE LUCK ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add your chosen charm as a Kavach widget. Tap the widget to open your charm in the app, where the animation and sounds happen. GIVE IT A SWING Tap or drag your charm and watch it swing, then gently settle. Hear the temple bell ring and the wind chime play. Nimbu-mirchi grows weathered with use and refreshes on every seventh swing. MAKE IT YOURS Switch charms whenever you like. Each charm remembers its swing count and the time it has spent selected. Choose another and its timer pauses; come back and it resumes. No streak to keep and no progress lost for taking a break. SIMPLE FROM THE START All six charms are included. No account, ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases in the current version. Kavach celebrates cultural traditions and personal rituals.
