Your own names
Add your guru mantra or any name you chant. Count it privately, with no text shown on screen.
PrayerCount is shaped by devotees’ everyday needs, from counting malas and tracking a sankalp to staying focused with your eyes closed and finding a peaceful place to pray at home.
Add your guru mantra or any name you chant. Count it privately, with no text shown on screen.
Your counts are backed up and kept in step on all your phones. Change phones and carry on where you left off.
Up to 10 family members, wherever they live. See everyone’s jap, set a family goal and keep a family streak together.
Choose Hindu, Jain or Sikh, and PrayerCount shows only your tradition across menus, the counter, festivals and guides.
Your practice is personal. PrayerCount is here to support it, not take over.
No ads on the counter, no pop-ups in the middle of a mala and no pressure to keep going.
See what’s included before you choose, and cancel whenever you like.
Each path has its own space, and texts are reviewed by people from that tradition.
Choose Radha, Ram, Om Namah Shivaya, Navkar or Waheguru. You can also count your own mantra without displaying it on screen.
Choose 11, 21, 108, 1,008 or another count. Turn on a chime or vibration if you’d like an alert.
Tap anywhere on the screen. PrayerCount tracks each mala and keeps a record of your streak.
We read more than 1,600 App Store reviews of jap counter apps. These comments highlighted ways a counter could better support everyday practice.
Add a vibrate or some sound after completing each mala so that if someone is in dhyaan they don't have to look at the screen.
We have WhatsApp groups for nama japa. But we have to manually add their counts, which we feel difficult.
Ads after every second is an issue. Ads not good when you are thinking about god.
Choose your tradition, then tap a direction to see what’s commonly suggested. On the live site, you can also use your phone’s compass.
Laptops don’t have a compass. You can use the morning sun to find east and select that direction, or open this guide on your phone to use its compass.
This is traditional guidance, not a rule. Your devotion matters more than direction. Follow the guidance of your family or Guru.
