            This app wasnβt built to earn money. I code it after office hours, late nights, and weekends with a single goal: to help the community practice chanting mantra in a simple and peaceful way. 
Thank you to everyone chanting with Naam Jap Counter β€οΈ Every download motivates me to keep building better.
