KoanCraft

KoanCraft is a mobile + web app (traditional app with light AI) for serious Zen/Chan practitioners who work with koans and want structure without turning practice into social content. Users pick a lineage-appropriate koan set (or their teacher assigns one), then log sits, interviews, and brief reflections with strict privacy controls. The app focuses on consistency: reminders, streaks, and a simple “practice journal” designed to be reviewed with a teacher, not broadcast. A small AI component can help users rewrite notes into concise, non-theoretical summaries and flag common pitfalls (over-intellectualizing, chasing experiences) using conservative, opt-in prompts. It also supports teacher dashboards for small sanghas: assign koans, request weekly check-ins, and export logs for dokusan preparation. This is not a meditation timer clone; it’s a practice accountability and documentation tool built around real Zen/Chan workflows.
