OUR STORY
We Built the App
we Wished Existed
Making the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita simple, accessible, and meaningful for everyone.
The Problem
Most Gita apps felt like browsing a library, rich in knowledge, but overwhelming for beginners. Endless Sanskrit, lengthy commentaries, and no clear starting point.
After trying many of them, we realized they assumed you already knew where to begin. That's why we built Gita Minute differently.
The Turning Point
The shift happened when we stopped asking "how do we present the whole text" and started asking "what does someone need on the worst day of their week."
That's a much smaller, much kinder question, and it's the one this app is actually built to answer.
What we Built Instead
We started over. Modern design principles, the clarity of Apple Books, the stillness of Headspace, the habit-forming warmth of Duolingo, applied to a text that's over two thousand years old. Not to modernize the Gita, but to remove everything standing between you and it.
The scripture stays at the center. Everything else, the AI guide, the quizzes, the streaks, the community, exists only to help you return to it tomorrow, and to understand it a little more each time you do.

F.A.Q.
Clear Answers for Curious Minds
Everything you need to know about Gita Minute, from learning and features to your daily Gita journey.
Is the app really free?
Yes. The daily verse, plain translation, reflection journal, and bookmarks are free, forever. Premium adds full audio, all three commentary schools, offline mode, and guided reading plans.
Do I need to know Sanskrit or the Gita already?
Not at all. Every verse leads with a plain-English translation and a short story-frame. Sanskrit, transliteration, and word-by-word meanings are there if you want them, never required.
Does it work offline?
Free accounts need a connection to fetch each day's verse and sync your journal. Premium unlocks full offline mode, so your reading plan and audio are available with no signal.
Is my journal & reflection data private?
Yes. Your check-ins and reflections are encrypted and never sold or used to train models without your explicit opt-in. You can export or delete your data at any time.
Which commentary traditions are included?
We show three classical schools, Śaṅkara (Advaita), Rāmānuja (Viśiṣṭādvaita), and Madhva (Dvaita), as distinct views side by side, never blended or oversimplified.
Which platforms is it available on?
Gita Minute is available today on iOS and Android, with your progress synced across devices through your account.
How does the AI guide decide what to say?
The AI guide answers only from the verse text and the three commentary traditions in our library, and always cites the passage it's drawing from rather than improvising.
Can I cancel Premium anytime?
Yes. Cancel in a couple of taps from Settings whenever you like, you'll keep Premium access until the end of your current billing period.
