IN DEVTithi
Every Jain's daily companion.
Tithi is a Jain panchang built for daily practice. It works out today's tithi by the Shwetambar Murtipujak (Tapa Gachchh) parva rule, including the kshay and vriddhi adjustments of parva tithis, and counts down to Navkarsi, Porsi, Sadh-porsi, Purimaddh, Avaddh and Chovihar from your own city's sunrise and sunset. A full month panchang marks parva tithis, Ayambil Oli, Paryushan, Samvatsari and the kalyanaks, and each day opens to its tithi and nakshatra changes, the day and night prahars and the choghadiya. The Pachchakhan section holds all 16 pachchakhan sutras, each shown as exactly what to recite and read aloud word by word. A tap log keeps your Chovihar and Navkarsi streaks, there is a 48-minute samayik timer on the Lock Screen, and reminders arrive before Navkarsi and Chovihar and on the evening before each parva tithi. Every calculation runs on the phone, with no internet needed.

The times that shape a Jain day move with the sunrise, and the parva tithis follow rules that ordinary calendars don't apply. We wanted one calm place that gets both right for any city, speaks the pachchakhan aloud for anyone still learning it, and costs nothing - no ads, no account, nothing to buy.

Good to know.
Which tradition does Tithi follow?
Shwetambar Murtipujak, by the Tapa Gachchh rule for parva tithis: when a parva tithi is kshay the preceding apva tithi is dropped, and when it is vriddhi the preceding apva tithi is doubled. Settings can switch to the plain udaya tithi instead.
How are Navkarsi and Porsi calculated?
From your location's sunrise and sunset, worked out on the phone. Navkarsi is 48 minutes after sunrise; Porsi, Sadh-porsi, Purimaddh and Avaddh are 1, 1½, 2 and 3 prahar, where a prahar is a quarter of the day's daylight. Chovihar is at sunset, or 48 minutes before it if you prefer.
Where do the pachchakhan texts come from?
From the published Shwetambar Murtipujak pachchakhan sutras, unchanged. Tithi only picks the self or guru verb form and leaves out the options that aren't yours. Please confirm with your guru.
Does it need the internet?
No. The panchang, the times, the audio and your tap log all work offline. The audio uses your phone's own Hindi voice.
Is it really free?
Yes. No ads, no account and no in-app purchases.
