Documentation

Be A Buddhist v2 — sacred audio platform. Prayer routines, Spotify-style player, and generative ambience using only free open-source AI.

Roadmap

  • Phase 0 — Landing + docs (this site)
  • Phase 1 — Web PWA at /app
  • Phase 2 — Player polish: queue, offline, discover, search, profile
  • Phase 3 — Free AI soundscapes (MusicGen, Bark, Piper)
  • Phase 4 — Capacitor → Play Store v2

Routines

A routine is an ordered playlist of chants/mantras for a practice session — morning metta, evening reflection, precept recitation, etc.

v1 features (preserved)

  • Create, edit, delete routines
  • Add tasks from browse categories
  • Sequential playback with skip
  • Avatar + public/private routines

v2 additions

  • Queue and now-playing UI
  • Offline download per routine
  • AI-generated ambient bed under a routine
  • Share routine links on web

Free AI

No paid Suno API. v2 uses open-source models you can self-host or run on Hugging Face free inference.
