SimranLock blocks distracting apps until you pause with Gurbani, Hukamnama, Waheguru simran, or sit silently with Sangat.
Free on iOS · No account required · No tracking
You set your alarm for 4 AM. You reach for your phone to check the time. 45 minutes later, you've scrolled through reels instead of reciting Japji Sahib. SimranLock makes sure that doesn't happen. Before Instagram opens, Gurbani opens first.
SimranLock redirects — it doesn't restrict. A sacred pause before every session.
You reach for Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube as usual. SimranLock gently intercepts.
Today's Hukamnama, a mood-matched shabad, the Mool Mantar, or a Waheguru simran meditation.
Gurbani appears in Gurmukhi, transliteration, and translation. Pause. Breathe. Absorb.
Your app opens. You've just completed a moment of simran. Your streak grows.
Start a quiet timed sit, invite someone with a link, and feel the sangat rising across the world in real time — a shared moment of Waheguru without chat, scrolling, or noise. A gentle amrit vela reminder invites you to sit each morning, and SimranLock keeps every session focused, peaceful, and simple.
No chat, no names, no social feed. Just two souls sitting in stillness together.
Choose 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes before entering. The session ends gently when the time is complete.
A continuous optimized Waheguru loop plays during sits, with a mute button always one tap away.
Verified Universal Links open directly into the app when installed — no extra taps, no detours.
If the recipient doesn't have SimranLock yet, the link opens a themed web landing page so they can install and join.
Invitees join with the actual remaining time, not the original duration — so you finish the sit together.
Your Home screen shows the sangat rising across the world in real time — a quiet reminder that you never sit alone.
An optional gentle nudge each morning invites you to sit with the sangat at amrit vela — never noisy, always easy to turn off.
Designed for shared spiritual presence, not messaging or social media. Sit With Sangat feels at home in both light and dark mode, and now lets you feel the whole sangat rising together — even when you sit alone.
Simran Year paints your whole year as a grid of dots — one for every day. Each day you sit with Waheguru turns saffron, so your devotion becomes something you can watch fill in, day by day.
One dot for each day of the year. The day turns saffron whenever you sit with Waheguru, so a whole year of simran becomes something you can actually see — not a number, a picture.
Tap any dot to see its date, and switch between years. As your practice grows the grid fills with saffron — a quiet record of devotion, never a scoreboard.
The full Simran Year lives on your Streak page at no cost, with a Simran 2026 summary card on Home showing your days, your streak, and how much of the year you've filled.
Premium adds home-screen and lock-screen widgets — small, medium, and large — that render your Simran Year so your devotion greets you before any distracting app does.
A day counts as simran whenever you log any simran or prayer — the same days that build your streak. The Simran Year grid is free on your Streak page; home & lock screen widgets are part of Premium. Available now in SimranLock 1.0.6.
Some prayers are too heavy to carry alone. Share an Ardaas with a single link, and the sangat answers with one tap — quietly holding you in prayer, wherever they are. No app, no account, nothing to install.
They tap once — “Praying with you.” Their Ardaas joins yours. No sign-up, nothing to install.
Taps are fully anonymous. Only a count is ever shown — no names, no profiles, ever.
Each Ardaas carries a curated line of Gurbani, matched to its spirit — gratitude, healing, or guidance.
A gentle count grows as the sangat holds you in light. Keep it visible or private — your call.
Built for shared prayer, not social media — no feed, no profiles, no noise. Just the sangat, answering your Ardaas one quiet tap at a time.
Scroll through the app experience. Every screen is built with intention.
Every feature is rooted in Sikh theology, not generic wellness.
