Khands, Avasthas & the Deep Guide to Simran
Learn now has dedicated pages for the Five Khands of Japji Sahib and the stages of spiritual Avasthas, plus a highlighted Deep Guide to Simran with practical abhyaas, backing Gurbani, and clickable lines that open their shabad.
August 22, 2026
Concept graphs & auto study guides
Explore Gurmat can now draw a clickable map of how concepts like Sant, Sangat and Naam connect, and you can re-centre it on any word. Pick a few saved shabads and it will write a study guide comparing them with a five-day reading plan.

Steadier search, tap tempo & a reliable offline start
The Gurmukhi keyboard now types at your cursor and joins carriers with their matras, repeat searches work again, and the Ask by Concept panel clears when you clear or switch modes. Every taal metronome gained a Tap button, and the app now opens straight from its saved copy instead of hanging on a white splash when there's no signal.
August 16, 2026
Journal reflections, concept search & word roots
Notes now reads your week and suggests shabads, plus gives you fresh journaling prompts. Search has an Ask by Concept mode, the dictionary traces a word's roots, and Learn has a new Explore section for mind maps and philosophy bridges.

Finer text sizes, reorderable pothis & smarter offline downloads
Text size sliders move in 5% steps again (still 70–130%), and you can now drag your pothi folders into any order in Library — the order sticks. Tapping the download icon on a saved shabad opens the full card builder so you can pick exactly which lines go on the card. Settings won't let you re-download the library or the whole app once it's saved (clear it first), and anything new added in an update refreshes automatically. The Install the app button now sits at the top of the home page.

Reflection quotes Gurbani, text size back in the reader & full offline app
Hukamnama reflection now quotes the actual lines from today's Hukamnama with a short meaning for each, before the core message and the practical note for today. Gurmukhi, translation and transliteration size sliders moved back into the reader settings panel (out of the main Settings page) with a saner range and larger 15% steps so the biggest size stays readable. Tapping the gear again while in Settings takes you back to the page you were on. Settings → Offline library now also downloads every Sundar Gutka bani and can save the whole app — pages and code — so ShabadLove and Read work with no wifi.

Hukamnama reflection, Living Sikhi & clearer raag pages
Each Hukamnama now has an optional 'Hukamnama reflection' — tap it to see the core message plus a short, practical note on living that guidance in modern work and family life. Learn → Sikhi Knowledge gains 'Living Sikhi', covering daily Gursikh practice, a healthy marriage and raising children, every point cited to Gurbani with its ang. The raag mandala backdrop now follows your theme, so raag names and details stay readable in dark mode.

Update notifications & Daily Hukamnama moved to Settings
Settings has a new Notifications section. Turn on 'New feature notifications' to get a push whenever a major update ships — no need to check the Updates page. The Daily Hukamnama from Sri Darbar Sahib toggle also moved here (out of Reminders) so it's easier to find. Both need background reminders turned on first.
