Short answers about what the app is, where its words come from, and what it keeps. For the method and every known limit, see How it works.
No. Osho Wisdom is an independent, unofficial Android app by Sonicon Software. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Osho International Foundation, Osho World Foundation or any other Osho organisation. Osho International Foundation's own site is osho.com.
Yes. Every quote, theme, discourse title, search and read-aloud clip is inside the app, and the app has no internet permission. Only links need a connection: a source page, Listen to Osho or osho.com opens in your browser when you tap it, never inside the app.
It shuffles its 390 quotes into a fixed order and gives each date the next one. The first time you open the app on a date, that quote is pinned to it and stays. After 390 days the order repeats, and a content update can reshuffle days you haven't opened yet.
Each quote links to a page on oshoworld.com. 199 quotes were checked word for word against an oshoworld.com talk transcript in October 2026; of the other 191, one was. The rest cite book pages that mostly show only a summary, so check those against the full talk before quoting them elsewhere.
No. The app has Hindi text for 150 of its 390 quotes, and it is a translation written for the app, not Osho's own Hindi. Most of these quotes come from talks he gave in English. You can switch Today, Yours and Settings to Hindi at any time; Themes, Library and Search stay in English.
Not inside the app. For 48 of the 63 discourses, Listen to Osho opens that talk's free recording page on oshoworld.com in your browser. The app never streams, downloads or stores Osho's recordings. Read aloud is a different feature that reads the short quote in an AI voice.
An AI voice made for this app, not Osho's. It was generated with the Indic Parler-TTS model by AI4Bharat and is not based on any recording of him. Every quote has an English clip, and the 150 Hindi texts have Hindi clips. If a clip can't play, your phone's own voice reads, and the label says so.
Twelve: fear, love, freedom, meditation, work and money, relationships, mind, death, happiness, loneliness, courage and celebration. Each theme has a short introduction and a set of quotes. Meditation is a theme to read about; the app does not teach or guide a meditation technique.
A quiet timer for one, three or five minutes with the day's quote on screen and an optional soft bell at the start and end. It is not a guided meditation or a health tool. Pausing holds the clock, and ending early records nothing.
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.
No. Osho Wisdom is free to download from Google Play and has no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription and no account. It contains no advertising, analytics or tracking code, and it doesn't ask you to sign in to read, search, save quotes or use the widget.
Android phones running Android 8.0 or later. It follows your phone's light or dark setting, or you can choose either in Settings, and it adds an optional home-screen widget in two sizes. It has not been tested on tablets, and there is no iPhone version.
