Balance

Balance is an Android application built around a single function: presenting a Buddhist saying for the day. Rather than acting as a reader for full texts or a study tool, it works as a daily reading prompt, offering one short passage at a time drawn from Buddhist tradition. The reading experience is the whole of the application, so there is little to configure or navigate.

The app is published by Patrick under the GPL-3.0-only license, which means the source can be studied, modified and redistributed under the same terms. Android is the only platform listed, so there is no desktop, iOS or web version to pair with it; anyone wanting the same material elsewhere would need a separate solution.

It suits people who want a small, narrow-purpose app for a daily contemplative habit, and it will be too limited for anyone looking for a searchable sutta library, commentary or structured meditation course.
