Bhagavad Gita for Gen Z Ios App

I kept running into the same wall: friends wanted guidance from the Gita but bounced off the language and length. So I built an iOS app that rewrites all 701 verses into Gen Z-friendly style and lets you find the right verse by mood or situation.

Why

The original is in Sanskrit, most translations are dense, and even Hindi versions can feel heavy. I wanted something you can actually use in the moment, not just study someday.

Key features

Gen Z versions of every verse

Mood tags to surface the right guidance when you need it

Home screen widget that rotates a fresh verse every few hours

One-tap sharing to friends and family

Free

How I built it

Native iOS with WidgetKit for the widget. Happy to share more about the stack and tooling if useful.

What I’d love feedback on

Onboarding flow and first-session clarity

Mood tagging logic and search

Widget cadence and verse variety

Any ideas to make this more inviting for younger readers

Open to all thoughts and critiques.

Hare Krishna!
