naam before
you scroll.

Japoji keeps Instagram and YouTube closed until you take the naam eleven times on a mala. About twenty seconds. Then scroll, if you still want to.

Even the waitlist is locked. Take the naam on the phone to open it.

One email when Japoji opens. Nothing else.

jai shri ram. You’re on the list.

We’ll write once, the day it opens.

Whose naam?

The problem

The phone gets the first minute of the morning and the last one at night. Bhagwan gets what’s left.

Nobody decided this. It happened one reel at a time. Japoji doesn’t take your phone away. It puts the naam back where it used to be: first.

How it works

Three steps. Twenty seconds. Every time.

  1. 01 · The pause

    You open Instagram. It doesn’t open.

    Pick the apps that eat your mornings: reels, shorts, the feed. When you reach for one, Japoji is there first. WhatsApp and your bank stay open.

  2. 02 · The naam

    Eleven beads, one naam each.

    Ram, Mahadev, Radhe, Hanuman ji, Maa Durga or Ganpati Bappa. Each bead is a gentle tap under your thumb, with a soft bell at the sumeru. It’s meant to slow you down.

  3. 03 · The diya

    The app opens, and a diya is lit.

    You get fifteen minutes, then the naam comes first again. Every day you keep it, another diya lights on the steps of your mandir.

Made to feel like wood under your thumb, not a button.

Streaks, gently

Seven diyas. One week. One mandir.

Every day you take the naam before the feed, a diya lights on the steps of your village mandir. Miss a day and it waits for you. No red screens, no guilt.

Six ishtas

Your ishta. Your naam.

Choose whose naam you take. The mantra, the art and the jaikara at the end all follow your choice.

Bhagavad Gita 2.47 · a shloka every day

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥

You have a right to your actions, never to their fruits. So don’t act for the fruit, and don’t give up acting either.

What we promise

i.

No ads. No feed. Ever.

Japoji is paid for by a small membership, less than one chai a month. We will never sell your attention back to anyone.

ii.

Your naam stays on your phone.

On iPhone, Apple’s Screen Time never tells us which apps you use. Your count and your streak live on your device.

iii.

Never a cage.

Emergency unlocks are always there. You choose what to lock, and you can stop any time.

Questions

When does it open?

We’re building it now, for iPhone and Android together. Join the waitlist and you’ll get one email the day it’s live.

Is it free?

You get seven days free with everything. After that it’s a small yearly membership, less than one chai a month. No ads, ever.

What if I really need an app right now?

There are emergency unlocks for real emergencies, and you choose which apps to lock. WhatsApp, maps and your bank can stay open.

Is it in Hindi?

Yes. English or Hindi, with mantras in Devanagari or Roman script. Your choice.

Which sampradaya is it for?

Anyone who takes a naam. Japoji starts with six ishtas and doesn’t ask you to follow any one tradition.

The feed
can wait.

Be there on day one. One email when Japoji opens, nothing else.

We’ll write once, the day it opens.
