Svaha by House of Avaang

स्वाहा — meditate. measure. become.

Most meditation apps ask you to trust that it's working. Svaha shows you. Alongside guided meditation and Sankalp — intentional goal-setting — Svaha includes the WHO-5 Well-Being Index, a validated wellbeing scale used in real clinical research, and a simple Insights screen that ranks which of YOUR OWN actions actually correlate with feeling better. Not generic advice — your own pattern, reflected back to you.

── GUIDED MEDITATION, NAMED FOR WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES ──
Eight fully voice-guided sessions, 5 to 15 minutes each: First Breath (for absolute beginners), Morning Awareness, Instant Calm (for anxiety spikes), Body Scan, Gratitude Flow, Deep Sleep Drift, Loving-Kindness, and Focused Mind. Plus a full 7-day guided program, "7 Days to Calmer Evenings," for building an actual evening wind-down habit.

── WHAT HELPS YOU — INSIGHTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY YOURS ──
Take the WHO-5 wellbeing check periodically and watch your trend over time — a real, validated measure, not just a mood emoji. Svaha's Insights screen goes further: it looks at your own logged check-ins and ranks which actions (a specific session, a walk, reaching out to someone) actually moved your mood, so you know what to reach for next time, based on your own data.

── SANKALP — YOUR INTENTION-SETTING PRACTICE ──
A Sankalp (संकल्प) is a declared intention, not just a goal. Set yours across six pillars — Health, Career, Relationships, Growth, Finances, Spirituality — and track your weekly alignment with each one.

── JOURNAL & CBT THOUGHT RECORDS ──
A rotating daily reflection prompt, plus a structured CBT-style thought record tool for working through a specific difficult thought step by step — the same basic structure used in real cognitive behavioral therapy, adapted for self-guided use.

── TOOLKIT: SOMETHING FOR RIGHT NOW ──
Overwhelmed and need something immediate? Soothe walks you through calming down right now. Self-Compassion helps mid-struggle. A gentle "Begin Again" screen is there for the days a habit slips. And after you plan a small action for yourself, Svaha follows up later and simply asks: did you do it? How did it feel? — closing a loop most habit apps never build.

── ENGLISH & HINDI ──
The full app — including the WHO-5 check and every session — works in both English and Hindi.

── BEGIN AGAIN, NEVER BEGIN AGAIN ASHAMED ──
Miss a day? Svaha never sends a "streak lost" notification. It just says: today is another beginning.

── YOUR DATA, YOUR DRIVE, NEVER OURS ──
Sign in with Google once, and Svaha backs up your journal, Sankalps, and progress to a private, hidden folder in your own Google Drive — never to our servers, because we don't have any. Delete your backup or your entire local history any time from the Profile tab.

── NO ADS. NO TRACKING. ──
No analytics SDKs, no ad networks, no selling your data. Ever.
