What it does
What Nitnem & Gurbani Daily does
Your Nitnem for today
Amritvela, the evening and the night, each with its banis in the order you read them, and what you have read ticked off. What comes next is waiting at the top, and a long bani opens where you stopped.
Clear Gurmukhi, line by line
Every line set large in a typeface made for Gurmukhi, with a transliteration in English letters under it, and the pauses (vishraam) in colour: gold for a full pause, blue for a short one.
Read it your way
Choose the text size, hide the transliteration, or read in larivaar. Go straight to any stanza. The screen stays on while you read, and the volume keys can turn the page.
Make the Nitnem your own
Choose the banis you read at each part of the day and their order, and the version you read: Rehras Sahib shorter or Taksal (longer), Anand Sahib whole or six pauris and the salok, Aarti shorter or longer.
Twenty-four banis, all on your phone
The Nitnem and Ardas, and Sukhmani Sahib, Asa di Var, Salok Mahalla 9, Shabad Hazare, Akal Ustat, Barah Maha, Lavan, Sidh Gosht and more. Every one opens without a connection.
Days of Nitnem in a row
Each bani you mark as read goes into your log: the days in a row and your longest run, a calendar of the month, each day's banis, and how often you have read each one.
Reminders at Amritvela, evening and night
A reminder for each part of the day, at the time you choose. It comes only if that part is still unread, and it opens straight to the bani.
Your data stays yours
Everything is stored on your phone. Back up to a file, restore it on a new phone, or delete everything in one tap.

Privacy
Nothing leaves your phone
Nitnem & Gurbani Daily has no internet access at all and collects nothing. Your Nitnem (which banis you read at each part of the day, in which order and version), the banis you have read (when you finished each one, and for how long it was open), where you left off in a bani, your reminders and your reading settings are stored only on your device. The Gurbani itself is part of the app.

Questions
Which banis are in the app?
Twenty-four. The Nitnem (Japji Sahib, Jaap Sahib, Tav-Prasad Savaiye, Chaupai Sahib, Anand Sahib, Rehras Sahib and Kirtan Sohila) and Ardas, and Sukhmani Sahib, Asa di Var, Salok Mahalla 9, Shabad Hazare, Shabad Hazare Patshahi 10, Tav-Prasad Savaiye (Deenan Kee), Akal Ustat, Chandi di Var, Barah Maha, Aarti, Ramkali Sadd, Lavan, Bavan Akhri, Sidh Gosht, Oankar and Alahniyan.
Where does the Gurbani come from?
From the Shabad OS Database, which follows SGPC's printed editions, and every line was checked against its earlier release. Nothing was typed by hand for this app. If you find a mistake, press and hold the line to send it to us.
Is there a translation?
No. The app carries only text that is free of copyright: the Gurbani in Gurmukhi, and a transliteration in English letters made from it. The English translations that exist are still under their authors' copyright.
Can I choose which Rehras Sahib I read?
Yes. Rehras Sahib comes in a shorter version and the Taksal (longer) version, Anand Sahib whole or as six pauris and the salok, and Aarti shorter or longer. Choose yours once, and the app remembers it.
Can I change which banis are in my Nitnem?
Yes. Add any of the twenty-four to Amritvela, the evening or the night, take one out, or change their order. You can always go back to the usual Nitnem.
Does it remind me?
If you like. Set a reminder for Amritvela, the evening and the night, each at its own time. It comes only if that part of your Nitnem is still unread, and tapping it opens the bani.
Can I read in larivaar?
Yes. Turn on larivaar and the words of each line are joined, as in the saroop. You can also hide the transliteration, turn the pause marks off, and make the text as large as you need.
Does it work offline?
Always. All twenty-four banis are in the app, and it has no internet access at all.
What data does it collect?
None. What you read stays on your phone. There is no account, no analytics and no ads.
How do I move my log to a new phone?
Save a backup file from Settings and restore it on the new phone. On Android 12 and later, Android's own phone-to-phone transfer brings it across too.
Is it free?
Yes. Free, with no ads, ever, and no account.
