Osho Wisdom

An unofficial reading companion for Android

A daily Osho quote, offline and attributed

Osho Wisdom is a free, unofficial Android app that opens each day with one short, attributed excerpt from Osho's talks. Around it are twelve themes, a library of 63 discourses that link out to oshoworld.com, and offline search. It needs no account, shows no ads and has no internet permission.

Get it on Google Play

Free, for Android 8.0 or later. Today, Yours and Settings can be shown in Hindi.

Osho Wisdom's Today screen: the day's short quote in large serif type with its source title, a Listen to Osho button that opens oshoworld.com, a Read aloud control labelled "AI voice, not Osho's", and buttons to sit with the quote or write a reflection.

One pearl a day

Each date gets one quote, chosen from 390 short excerpts and kept for that date once you open it. The app, the home-screen widget, the optional daily reminder and the share card all show the same pearl, with no connection needed. After 390 days the order starts again.

How the daily quote is chosen

Read it, hear it, sit with it

  • Listen to Osho

    For 48 of the 63 discourses, one tap opens the talk's free recording page on oshoworld.com in your browser. Nothing plays inside the app.

  • Read aloud

    Every quote can be read in an AI voice made for this app, in English and, for the 150 quotes with a Hindi translation, in Hindi. The voice is not Osho's, and the button says which voice is reading.

  • Sit with this

    One, three or five quiet minutes with the day's quote, with an optional soft bell at the start and end. A quiet timer, not a guided practice.

  • Write a reflection

    One private note per day, kept in the app and never included when you share a quote.

Twelve themes and a library that links out

Fear, love, freedom, meditation, work and money, relationships, mind, death, happiness, loneliness, courage and celebration: each theme has a short introduction and its own set of quotes. The library lists 63 discourses by series or topic, and each entry opens its page on oshoworld.com. Search covers every quote and discourse title, offline.

Your string of pearls

Each day you open the app, its pearl joins your string in the Yours tab, with any note you wrote. The string only grows: a day you don't open leaves no gap and no mark. Milestones such as your 7th or 30th pearl get one quiet line on the Today screen.

Milestones on the string

  1. 1st pearl
  2. 7th pearl
  3. 30th pearl
  4. 50th, 100th, 200th pearl
  5. 365th pearlthen every 100th

Unedited screenshots of the app. The counts on the Yours tab are an example.

  • An example Yours tab: a count of 30 pearls gathered, 3 reflections and 4 saved, above a vertical string of dated pearls, newest first, with no gaps for days not opened.
  • The Share as image preview: a square night-coloured card with a quote, its source and attribution and the Osho Wisdom name, with Square or Story and Paper or Night options.
  • Sit with this, a one-minute quiet timer: the day's quote above a part-filled ring, "1 min left", and Pause and End buttons.
  • An Android home screen with the Osho Wisdom widget showing today's quote, its source and attribution.
  • The Fear theme: a short introduction, then the first quote being read aloud with one word highlighted, an English and Hindi toggle, and the label "AI voice, not Osho's".

Unofficial, and says so

Osho Wisdom is an independent app by Sonicon Software. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Osho International Foundation or Osho World Foundation. It holds only short excerpts and points you to oshoworld.com and osho.com for full talks, books and recordings.

Where the words come from

Private and offline

The app has no account, ads or analytics and no internet permission, so it cannot send us anything. Your string of pearls, notes, saved quotes and settings are kept in the app's storage on your phone, and Android's own backup may copy them to your Google account. Read the privacy policy.
