Beadly
Beadly is a digital counter for people who count prayers on beads, such as a Hindu japa mala or an Islamic tasbih. Tap to count toward a target (108 for a japa mala), review your progress in weekly and monthly history, and keep counting with the volume buttons even when the screen is off.

Problem
People who count prayers on beads often lose count or cannot keep a record of their practice, and counter apps that need the screen on are awkward during prayer.
My Role
Flutter developer who built the app, its counting logic, and its history views.
My Contribution
- Built a circular counter with a progress ring, a per-round target, and Today and This Week round totals.
- Added tradition settings with configurable target counts, such as a 108-bead japa mala.
- Implemented screen-off counting through the device volume buttons, with a persistent notification.
- Built weekly bar-chart and monthly calendar history with total rounds, current streak, and best day.
- Added sound and vibration on completion, dark mode, and a language setting.
Key Features
- One-tap bead counting with a target and progress ring.
- Volume-button counting while the screen is off.
- Weekly and monthly history with streaks.
- Sound and vibration feedback when a round completes.
- Tradition, target count, theme, and language settings.

Challenges & Solutions
Prayer counting is often done without looking at the phone, so a tap-only counter is impractical.
Added an optional mode where the volume buttons keep counting in the background, with a persistent notification and a clear battery-usage note.
Different traditions count differently, so one fixed target does not fit everyone.
Made the tradition and target count configurable, starting from a 108-bead japa mala.
Result / Impact
Practical proof of full-stack product development.
Beadly shows a focused Flutter app that turns a traditional practice into a simple counter with meaningful history, built to work even when the screen is off.
