- Hindu smartphone users seeking a devotional screen-use ritual
- Worth noticing
- The walkthrough says WhatsApp and banking remain available while selected social apps are paused.
Field notes
The walkthrough presents a three-part sequence: selected social apps pause, the user taps through eleven beads with a chosen mantra, then receives a fifteen-minute opening. It also sketches weekly diya markers, a 108-bead practice without an app lock, and an emergency-unlock allowance; these are described as product behavior, not independently verified. The homepage names six devotional choices, including Ram, Mahadev, Radha Krishna, Hanuman, Durga, and Ganpati.
