A real screen from Japa.

A practice that fits your day.

Count without looking down
Open a practice and tap anywhere on the counter, or turn the Digital Crown one detent at a time. A haptic marks each count.
Leave your phone nearby — or behind
The watch keeps its own count when your iPhone is out of range and reconciles the count when they reconnect.
Keep today within reach
See your practices and their progress on the watch. Add Japa’s complication to a compatible watch face for a way back to your day.

Free to count with, for good.

Unlimited counting, the built-in collection, Apple Watch, and up to three saved practices are free, along with the last seven days of your history. One optional Japa Lifetime purchase — US$6.99 on the US store, priced for the region elsewhere — adds unlimited saved practices, your whole history, observance programmes, custom breathing rhythms and private iCloud sync. Never a subscription.

Your words stay on your devices, and in your private iCloud if you choose to sync. No account, no ads, no analytics.
