Sutra before scroll.
SutraDay puts a brief Buddhist practice between you and the one app you open without thinking. Read a text or follow a guided breathing practice, then decide — deliberately this time — whether you still want to go in.
A PRACTICE MATCHED TO HOW YOU ARRIVE
Say what you need today: ease anxiety, meet anger, hold grief, find focus, grow compassion, settle for sleep, reduce scrolling, or begin gently. Choose a tradition, or Secular, and SutraDay suggests a practice. On the Mahayana path, that means the Great Compassion Mantra for compassion, the Pure Land Rebirth Mantra for grief, the Medicine Buddha mantra for rest, the Six-Syllable Mantra for focus. Or open the library and choose any text you like.
REAL TEXTS, HONESTLY LABELLED
Thirty-seven canonical texts from the Mahayana, Theravada, Zen and Tibetan traditions, set the way a chanting book prints them. Pinyin above every Chinese character, phrases numbered for recitation. The Heart Sutra in Xuanzang's Chinese translation. The full eighty-four-line Great Compassion Dharani. The Metta Bhavana in Pali, the Four Great Vows in Japanese, the Seven-Line Prayer in Tibetan, and more.
Every text carries its source, translator, licence, and editorial status — and says plainly whether it is canonical scripture or a practice text written by SutraDay. You always know exactly what you are reading.
Each canonical text also carries a suggested daily count, from once a day for the long sutras to twenty-one times for the six syllables, with a tally that starts fresh each day.
A GARDEN THAT REMEMBERS
Your bodhi tree grows with each day you practice. Complete a practice and a lotus blooms, then continue the day's path with a mindful unlock and a merit dedication offered to whomever you choose. It is a place that remembers your practice, not a chart that scores it.
APP PAUSE, IF YOU WANT IT
App Pause is entirely optional. Turn it on and choose one app of your own; opening it brings a mindful pause instead. Practice, and you earn a lotus — use one for a pass of five, ten, thirty, or sixty minutes of that app, spent deliberately. This is self-applied: SutraDay cannot be used to watch or restrict anyone else's phone. Everything in the app works whether or not you ever turn it on.
On iPhone this uses Apple's Screen Time permission. Your selection stays private to the system — SutraDay never receives a list of the apps on your device.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
On-device by default. No account is required, no analytics, no advertising, and nothing you do leaves your phone unless you choose otherwise. Sign in — entirely optional — and SutraDay backs up an encrypted copy of your practice that we cannot read, plus a handful of practice-total numbers (like your streak and lotus count) so you can restore your garden on a new device. Delete your account and backup in-app, any time.
SutraDay is a contemplative practice app, not medical or mental-health treatment. It is not affiliated with any temple, monastery, or religious organization.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Every tradition is now open. Choose Mahayana, Theravada, Zen, Tibetan or Secular when you begin, or change it any time in Settings, and SutraDay follows that tradition.
The garden of intention is new: a living garden that grows with your practice and moves as you tilt your phone.
On iPhone Duo, reading is now a book, with two facing pages, real page turns and the counter and Complete reading in the side column. Today, Practice and the Library use the open display too.
Pages now run to the edge of the screen on every iPhone, and several pinyin readings in the recitation aids are corrected.
