Where is my chanting data stored?

All data is stored directly on your phone in a secure local database. The app operates 100% offline, meaning we do not run servers and cannot access your logs. If you uninstall the app, your local database is permanently deleted.

Can I back up my progress or transfer it?

Yes! You can export all your practice logs as a JSON file for local backup. You can also generate a beautifully formatted PDF report of your spiritual progress.

Is the app completely free and ad-free?

Yes. Digital Mala is created as a pure spiritual tool. It features zero ads, zero banner popups, and zero hidden tracking software. It is 100% free to download and use.

How do the haptic feedback features work?

The app uses your mobile device's built-in haptic engine to create a subtle vibration pulse when you transition to the next bead. This allows you to count Japa without constantly looking at the screen.

Can I add custom mantras and set goals?

Absolutely. You can write custom mantras, select traditional counter limits (like 27, 54, 108, or 1008 beads), and track your statistics independently for each mantra.
