How to use the jaap counter
- Choose a mantra. Pick a mantra from the list — its Devanagari text and transliteration appear on the counter.
- Set a target. Choose 11, 21, 27, 54, 108 or 1008 repetitions, or a custom number.
- Tap for each repetition. Tap anywhere on the large card, or press space or enter, once per repetition. The bead ring fills and each 108 adds a mala.
- Rest when you reach the target. A soft bell (if sound is on) marks the target. Sit quietly for a few breaths before resetting.
Keyboard: space or enter counts, backspace undoes the last bead. Sound and vibration are optional and remembered.
