Description
Rushi is a quiet Buddhist toolkit for sutra reading, mala counting, and sutra calligraphy. One paid download. No ads, no subscriptions, no account, no data collection.
[About the name "Rushi"]
From the opening of the Diamond Sutra: "Thus have I heard" (如是我聞).
We hope the app feels like those two words - quiet, honest, sparing.
[Three core features]
Read
Full Diamond Sutra and Heart Sutra (public-domain Kumarajiva and Xuanzang translations).
Five font sizes, multiple paper backgrounds, paragraph bookmarks, fully offline.
108-bead Mala
Bead counter (adjustable 18-108).
Five sounds: wooden fish, bell, chime, om, bead.
Haptic feedback, history log, weekly and monthly goals, dedication on completion.
Sutra Calligraphy
Trace regular-script (Kaishu) templates with finger or stylus.
Save your works to a personal collection. Export to PDF.
[Why a paid download]
Full features unlocked at download. No in-app purchases. All v1.x updates are free.
We do not sell subscriptions, do not show ads, do not request your contacts, and do not track any behavioral data.
[Respect for practice]
We never show a rating prompt while you chant with closed eyes.
No "X-day streak" badges, no gamification of practice.
The app stays out of your way.
[Transparent sources]
Sutra texts from CBETA Chinese Electronic Tripitaka (public-domain Kumarajiva and Xuanzang translations), NDL Digital Collections, KABC, Wikisource, and other openly available scholarly archives.
Bead sounds from FreeSound (CC0) and self-recorded.
All sources are listed in the in-app About page.
