What's New in Japo
Every version of Japo, newest first.
Version 1.0 (October 2026)
The first version of Japo, on the App Store for iPhone (iOS 15 or later).
- A mala of 108 beads and a sumeru that you pull with your thumb, or tap, with a tick you can feel on each bead.
- Volume keys count and undo; the count waits on the lock screen with +1 and Undo during a sitting.
- Every bead saved the moment it is counted.
- 27 mantras, or your own, in English, Hindi, Gujarati, Telugu and Kannada, with an optional focus photo behind the mala.
- History, a calendar of days lit, insights, and sittings added by hand.
- Sankalpa and anushthan goals, with the reason you took them, that show what a vow means per day.
- Gentle reminders and notes for Ekadashi, Purnima and the major festivals.
- Japo Plus, a single purchase: automatic backup, private to you, and the mala collection from Tulsi to Swarna rudraksha.
