Place your phone
Set it down at a comfortable viewing distance. The app waits until the phone is steady before beginning.
A quieter way to focus
One flame.
Your full attention.
Tratak turns your phone into a calm, responsive candle-gazing companion for a clear and focused practice.

How it works
A clear path into practice.
Place the phone, follow the countdown, and let the interface settle around the flame.
Focus on the flame
After a simple 3–2–1 countdown, the interface fades away and leaves only the responsive flame.
Stop when you choose
Pick up or tap the phone to reveal the live timer and Stop button. Only you decide when the session ends.
Practice gently
Comfort comes before duration.
Tratak is a concentration and meditation aid, not medical treatment. Blink naturally, never force your eyes to remain open, and stop if you experience pain, marked discomfort, dizziness, headache, or visual disturbance.
