    I kept running into the same wall: friends wanted guidance from the Gita but bounced off the language and length. So I built an iOS app that rewrites all 701 verses into Gen Z-friendly style and lets you find the right verse by mood or situation.

    Why

    The original is in Sanskrit, most translations are dense, and even Hindi versions can feel heavy. I wanted something you can actually use in the moment, not just study someday.

    Key features

    Gen Z versions of every verse

    Mood tags to surface the right guidance when you need it

    Home screen widget that rotates a fresh verse every few hours

    One-tap sharing to friends and family

    Free

    How I built it

    Native iOS with WidgetKit for the widget. Happy to share more about the stack and tooling if useful.

    What I’d love feedback on

    Onboarding flow and first-session clarity

    Mood tagging logic and search

    Widget cadence and verse variety

    Any ideas to make this more inviting for younger readers

    Open to all thoughts and critiques.

    Hare Krishna!
