Look closely at almost any daily practice and you will find a sequence. A few minutes of pranayama, some rounds of chanting, a longer stretch of silent sitting — each with its own length, each followed by the next. The practice itself asks for stillness and closed eyes. An ordinary timer, though, offers a single alarm that you have to reach for and silence, and that reach is often the very thing that breaks the stillness you sat down for.
Anukrama is a small, free app built to remove that reach. The name means "a sequence," and that is exactly what it keeps. You build a practice once as an ordered set of steps and give each step its own length, in minutes and seconds. At the end of each step it sounds a gentle bell, chime, gong or singing bowl — or stays silent, if you prefer — and moves on to the next by itself. If you wish, it speaks each step's name aloud as it begins. Once you press start, you can close your eyes and leave the phone where it is; Anukrama keeps running with the screen locked.
It is also quiet in a second sense. Anukrama has no advertising, no subscriptions, no account and no sign-in, and according to its creators it collects no data: every practice you save stays on your device. It works fully offline, even in airplane mode, and is available in English, Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. A few ready-made practices are included to begin with, and you can save as many of your own as you need.
How might it sit alongside the 48-day journey? The guided sessions inside 10X walk you through each pillar's practice step by step. Anukrama is for the moments when you already know your sequence and simply want it held for you — for example, five minutes of breathing practice, five minutes of mantra chanting, and fifteen minutes of silent sitting, run as one unbroken practice. Adjust the timings to suit your practice. Once the clock stops asking for your attention, the practice can have all of it.
