Sadhana – enhance your daily Buddhist practice

Sadhana is a cross-platform desktop application for supporting Buddhist practice. It provides a structured environment for working with liturgies, mantras, deity images, practice texts, audio, and personal practice records.

The application is designed with Tibetan Buddhist practice in mind, but its custom module system lets users create practice sequences for other contemplative traditions.

This is free and open source software.
