Three respected public-domain translations (Aurobindo, Besant-Das, Gandhi) with drag-to-reorder
Bundled per-verse audio chant — plays offline, continues with screen off, lock-screen controls
Verse of the Day on home screen and WidgetKit small/medium widget
Bookmarks and private multi-line notes stored locally per verse
Passive reading log — a month-grid calendar showing which days you opened any verse, no streaks
A note from the studio
“The design brief was simple: aged manuscript paper, sindoor saffron, mahogany ink. Closer to the New York Review of Books than a meditation app. The app should disappear into the practice.”
