Dāna

Dāna is a quiet, ceremonial app for the daily practice of giving (布施 / dāna). It does not move money. The act of giving — to a temple, a person, a charity — happens in the world, with your hands. The app is the small ritual around it. A daily pledge. Choose an amount and a category — life release, sangha offering, flower offering, meal offering, tsok offering, child sponsorship, ORBIS, stray animals, elderly living alone, or a general dāna pledge. You can hold up to ten active pledges at once. Confirm with intention. When you've given, open Dāna and confirm. A small Buddha figure offers a blessing. Merit accumulates by distinct calendar days, not by frequency. Companions appear over time. Your practice begins with a teacher in the living lineage. As it deepens — every 21 days — Guanyin, Green Tārā, Mañjuśrī, Vajrasattva, and Padmasambhava are invited to walk alongside, with Śākyamuni Buddha as the culminating figure. Once invited, a companion stays. There is no streak, no leaderboard, no shame. Honor system, always. No verification. No tracking. No analytics. No subscriptions. Your practice record stays on your device, optionally synced via your private iCloud account. Dāna is buy-once, in four UI languages (English, 繁體中文, 简体中文, 日本語) with calligraphic ornament in Tibetan and Chinese.
