V Houses

Keep your vows, sit together

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

V Houses is your daily companion for keeping vows and deepening meditation — practiced together, as a community. Built for students in the tradition of the Asian Classics Institute and the teachings of Geshe Michael Roach, V Houses keeps your commitments present throughout the day and connects you to the teachers and friends who practice alongside you. KEEP YOUR DAILY VOWS Follow a path that fits your practice: Freedom, Bodhisattva, or Diamond Way vows. Receive six vows each day on a gentle rotating schedule, with timed reminders from morning to night so nothing slips by. A "now" vow on your home dashboard always shows what to hold in this moment. REFLECT & UNDERSTAND Open any vow to journal what went well and where you fell short. Tap AI Reflection for a clear explanation and concrete, real-life examples of each vow — so the teaching becomes practical, not abstract. Your reflections are saved privately and build a record of your practice over time. MEDITATE — ALONE OR TOGETHER A clean meditation timer with a choice of bells (handbell, singing bowl, small bowl, duduk). Log every sit and watch your total time, days, and streak grow. Track your progress through the classic nine stages of meditation, with a contextual tip for wherever you are on the path. See who in your sangha is Sitting Now and join them in real time. PRACTICE IN COMMUNITY A worldwide sangha: browse members, follow practitioners and teachers, and see your community on a live map. Sort and find people by name, country, or who's newest. Teachers: link to your teacher and get a gentle nudge when they begin a sit, so you can sit with them. FOLLOW GESHE MICHAEL ROACH Supporters of the 30/30/30 Campaign can see when Geshe Michael Roach is meditating live and join his sits. Optional reminders before his next scheduled sit. An iOS home-screen widget that shows your current vow at a glance. MAKE IT YOURS Seven hand-tuned color themes. Protect your journal with a PIN or Face ID. Add a profile photo and your city to appear on the community map. YOUR PRACTICE IS PRIVATE Your journal and reflections stay on your device and your own account. Location is shared only at the city level, and only if you choose to. Whether you're holding the Freedom vows for the first time or deep into Diamond Way practice, V Houses helps you keep your word, day after day — and reminds you that you're never practicing alone.

Now in 16 languages V Houses follows your phone's language automatically, or you can choose your own in Settings › Language. Dates, times and reminders are localised too. A new look V Houses now wears its teal and gold, from the app icon to every screen. Prefer the previous red? Settings › Appearance still has Crimson. Improvements • Your meditation bell now rings on time even if the app is closed or your phone is asleep. • Meditation and community notifications now arrive reliably on Android. • Guided meditation videos no longer pause when your screen dims. • Everyone you follow now appears in one Community card on your dashboard, shown in green while they are sitting. • Mis-logged a session? Open the day in Meditation Stats to remove it. • Community map pins are grouped over a wider area, for extra privacy. • Teachers can follow their students and be notified when they sit. Note AI reflections are paused while they are rewritten by hand. Your past journal entries are untouched.
