Take a vow, bring in the rounds you count on your own beads, and see each practice's milestones. • Vows. Set a total to reach in the days you choose, such as 125,000 in forty days, and Japa counts it beside your daily goal, with what each remaining day needs. Part of Japa Lifetime. • Counted on your own beads? Add whole rounds, or any number, to today without tapping them out afterwards. • Milestones. When a practice passes 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 and beyond, Japa marks the moment, with a card you can share. • A streak can now rest one day a week, so one missed evening no longer ends it. • A Home Screen widget can follow the practice you choose. Counting stays unlimited and free.

The collection now explains itself in your language, Diwali keeps its own five nights, and a practice can be saved and started in one tap. • Every page, in your language. What the words mean phrase by phrase, where they come from, how they are traditionally recited — the page behind each ⓘ now reads in all thirty-three languages, and so do the calendar's explanations. Until now they were English only. • Diwali has its own five nights — Dhanteras through Bhāī Dūja — instead of borrowing the date of Bandi Chhor Divas. The Sikh commemoration of the sixth Guru's release falls on the same night and is not the same observance; each now keeps its own reckoning. • Save and start. Open anything in the collection and begin counting it straight away, without the detour through the editor. • A purchase you already own is restored rather than refused. • The welcome screen offers the breath. Counting stays unlimited and free.

Breath gets a tab of its own, the calendar reads as one list, and the collection finally says what its words mean. • Breathe. Five paced rhythms or one of your own, a sitting of 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes — or ten breaths, or open-ended — with a haptic and a soft tone at each turn of the breath. • A calendar in one list. What is happening now and what is coming, narrowed by tradition, and every holy day says whose reckoning its dates follow. • A page for every practice. What the words say, where they come from, how they are traditionally recited, and whether a count is traditional or simply our suggestion. • Read aloud, wherever iOS has a real voice for the text. • Every practice wears its own emblem and its own color — on the phone, the watch and the Home Screen. • Count with a double tap on Apple Watch, and open a practice from Control Center, the Action button or the Smart Stack. • Punjabi, Tamil, Malay, Greek and Romanian: thirty-three languages in all. Counting stays unlimited and free. New installations get three saved practices, seven days of history and the preset breathing rhythms; existing users keep the allowance they already had.

A counter drawn as the mala it counts, and a way to hand a practice to someone else. • The counter is now a mala: beads ring the dial, the bead you are on settles under your thumb, and a guru bead marks where each round begins and ends • A finished day turns gold. The ring lights once, everything around it quiets, and the dial stays gold for the rest of the day • Share a practice as a link. Whoever opens it sees the words, the count and the rhythm, and can add it to their own practices in a tap — the words travel inside the link itself and never reach a server • Share a streak as a card, to send or to keep • Dhikr is called dhikr. Muslim practices were labeled “Mantra”, a word from another tradition; they carry their own name now, in every language • Fixed a crash when the theme was changed while the app was still animating • A large backup now imports in seconds instead of stalling Thank you for practicing with Japa.

A clearer way around, and a calendar you can open to any day. • Three tabs: Today, Library and Calendar. Library keeps the built-in collection (Browse) and your own practices (Saved) side by side, and Settings is the gear at the top of each • Holy days and seasons have a tab of their own. Tap a date to see what falls on it, move month by month, and switch between every observance and just the ones in your calendar • An added observance now tells you the day its practices will appear on Today • A new "How Japa works" page in Settings, and a welcome screen that points to where to begin • Opening the editor or a reset confirmation mid-practice now pauses the timer and the volume buttons, and the counter no longer closes itself during paced breathing • Steadier iCloud sync after an undo or reset, and the watch and widgets now respect an observance's rest days • Corrected dates for several lunar observances in coming years Thank you for practicing with Japa.

Holy days and seasons, with the practices kept through them. • A calendar of observances under Discover — Navaratri, Ramadan, Lent, Vesak, Hanukkah, Guru Nanak Gurpurab and more, across seven traditions. Add one and its practices arrive on Today, at their traditional counts, for as long as it runs; when it ends they rest until next year • Each page shows the whole program before you add it: what is recited, on which days, and how many times • Ko-Nawin, the Burmese ninety-day rosary resolution, follows its chart block by block — the chant changes every nine days, and the app changes it for you • A quiet notice on the morning an observance begins, if you want one • Adding an observance is part of Japa Lifetime; browsing the calendar is free Thank you for practicing with Japa.

Your beads, named for what they are — and the goal you are setting, where you can see it. • The editor asks how many beads are in a round, rather than what your mala is. The same number is a rosary of 50 or a tasbih of 33, and a note beside it says so • Your daily goal now leads the section that sets it, written out as the rounds it comes to — 3 rounds × 108 • "Browse practices" opens the collection itself, instead of wherever you last left Discover • A count made on a widget now moves the practice you tapped • A count is no longer reset by an iCloud change that has not caught up yet Thank you for practicing with Japa.

Pass a practice on to someone, and a way to say what you think of Japa. • Share any practice from your library — the words exactly as you wrote them, ready for whoever asked you for them • Share Japa itself, and rate it, from Settings • Japa now has a page of its own, linked from the App Store Thank you for practicing with Japa.

Count from the Home Screen, sync through iCloud, and read Japa in twenty-six languages. • Count from the Home Screen and the Lock Screen — widgets at every size with your ring, the day's total and your streak, and a button that counts a bead without opening Japa • A sitting stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you count, with count and undo where your thumb already is — or ask Siri to count one, or how the day is going • Count with the volume buttons, with the phone in your pocket or your eyes closed — off by default, and only while the counter is open • Sync your practices and your whole history between devices through your own private iCloud, as part of Japa Lifetime • See how long each sitting ran, on the day and through your history • Set the goal in malas and rounds — choose the mala you actually string, 108, 54, 33 or one you type yourself, and how many rounds a day; the goal is what they come to. “No mala” is still there, with a number you set yourself • The counter counts the mala. The big number is the beads in hand and starts again at each round, the ring fills with it, the round reads underneath, and the day's total sits below the dial — the same on Apple Watch and on the Lock Screen • The quick counter takes a mala too, chosen or typed once and remembered • Twelve colours to tag a practice with, and a calmer home screen and collection • Seventeen new languages, twenty-six in all: Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Russian, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Tibetan, Lao, Italian, French, Polish, German and Ukrainian join the nine that were already here • Arabic, Persian and Urdu now lay the whole app out right to left, from the calendar to the counter • Japa opens in the language your phone is already speaking Thank you for practicing with Japa.
