What is Chantika?
Chantika is a private mantra and japa counter for iOS. It helps you count chants quietly using tap, volume buttons, and experimental voice counting — without an account or cloud sync.
Is Chantika available now?
Chantika is preparing for iOS launch. Android is planned later. Email [email protected] to join the iOS waitlist and receive one notice when it ships.
Does Chantika upload my chant audio?
No. Chantika is designed to avoid uploading chant audio. Voice counting is intended to run privately on-device where supported.
Does voice counting always work?
Voice counting is experimental. It works best in quiet environments with repeated, consistent chanting. Tap and volume-button counting are available as a fallback when voice detection is unreliable.
Can I count without looking at my phone?
Yes. Chantika supports volume-button counting so you can keep your eyes closed and stay focused on your practice.
Does Chantika work offline?
Yes. Chantika is designed for offline use. Your practice history stays on-device and does not require an internet connection.
Does Chantika show ads during chanting?
No. Active chanting sessions are free from ads. This is a core promise of the app.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Core mantra and japa counting is planned to be free. Optional premium features may be added for deeper practice tools.
Can I use Chantika for naam jap, Buddhist chanting, or prayer tracking?
Yes. Chantika supports japa, jaap, naam jap, Buddhist dharanis, meditation, and general repetitive prayer practice across traditions.
Is Chantika a medical or healing app?
No. Chantika is a spiritual wellness counter and practice-tracking tool. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions.
