A practice that fits your day.
- Keep your prayer in view
- Choose from the Christian collection or enter the prayer you return to. The full text stays beside your counter.
- Follow your own rhythm
- Choose a count of 50 or enter the number that fits your practice. Set daily rounds if helpful, or use a quick count that saves nothing.
- A companion on your wrist
- Count with a tap or the Digital Crown on Apple Watch. A haptic marks each count, so you can keep your attention on the prayer.
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.

Can I use Japa for the Jesus Prayer?
Yes. Choose the Jesus Prayer from the collection, or add your own wording and choose a count that suits your practice.
Is this a guided rosary app?
Japa is a recitation counter with saved prayer texts. It does not guide you through the sequence of rosary mysteries and prayers.
