Chantika
iOS launch coming soon

Private Mantra &
Japa Counter

Count your chants quietly — with tap, volume buttons, and experimental voice counting.

No account. No cloud sync by default. No ads during practice.

Privacy

Your practice belongs
to you alone.

Chantika is fully on-device. We don't have a cloud, we don't have an account system, and we don't have a server to lose your data on. Your chants, your sessions, your streaks — they live on your phone, encrypted at rest, and nowhere else.

  • No chant audio uploaded. Voice counting is designed to run privately on-device.
  • No account required. No sign-in, no email, no social handles.
  • No in-app practice tracking. Your chants, counts, and sessions stay on your device.
  • No ads during practice. Basic website traffic is processed by Cloudflare for hosting and security only.

Quiet by architecture.

We made privacy a constraint at the very first commit — not a checkbox we ticked later. Chantika cannot leak what it doesn't collect.

How it works

Four steps. Then close your eyes.

Chantika gets out of your way so the practice can take over.

Pick a chant

Choose a mantra from the library or add your own. Set a target — 27, 54, 108, or anything you like.

Start the session

One tap. The screen settles, the ring breathes, and the count waits at zero.

Chant naturally

In quiet spaces, experimental voice counting can track repetitions for you. In noisier moments, tap or volume buttons are always ready.

Or count by hand

On a bus, in a crowd, or whispering? Tap anywhere or use the volume buttons. Falls back gracefully.

Designed for real practice

Small details. Big stillness.

Every feature exists to remove a reason to look at the phone.

Experimental voice counting

Designed to detect repeated chant rhythm on supported devices. Works best in quiet environments with consistent repetition. If detection is unreliable, tap and volume-button counting remain available.

Volume-button counting

Lock the screen, slip the phone into a pocket, and let the side button advance the count. Up to count, down to undo. No glances required.

Round completion chime

A soft, single tone marks the close of your round — never an alert.

Calm insights

A quiet record of your rhythm. No streak shaming. No leaderboards.

Light + dark

Warm paper for daylight. Deep ink for evening. Auto by default.

Three ways to count

Whatever your practice needs.

Every mode is designed around a different real-world situation. Use one, or switch between them.

Tap counting

Simple, reliable manual counting. Tap anywhere on screen to advance. Good for any environment.

Always available

Volume-button counting

Count without looking at the screen. Lock the phone, slip it into your pocket, and press the side button for each chant. Useful during focused practice when glancing at a screen would break attention.

Screen-free

Experimental voice counting

Designed to detect repeated chant rhythm on supported devices. If the environment is noisy or detection is unreliable, tap and volume-button counting remain available as a fallback.

Experimental
The mantra library

From search intent to real practice.

Script, transliteration, meaning, suggested counts — each mantra page is structured for humans and AI search alike.

High

Om (Aum)

The primordial sound; immediate calming and focus.

High

Gayatri Mantra

Sourced from the Rig Veda; invokes divine light and wisdom.

High

Ganesh Mantra

Remover of obstacles; useful for new beginnings.

Why not a generic counter?

Built for practice, not just tapping numbers.

Most counters can count. Chantika is designed around 108 rounds, quiet practice, privacy, and hands-free counting.
