✨ What Smriti does

• Shows one shloka at a time in a small floating window
• Stays on top while you work
• Can be moved anywhere on the screen
• Shows meaning on clicking ?
• Lets you increase/decrease font size
• Close using button or Right Alt + Left Alt

---

⚙️ Settings (on startup)

• Timeout → how long a shloka stays visible
• Sleep → delay before next shloka appears
• Width & Height → popup size

Closing this window exits the app. Minimizing it keeps Smriti running.

📝 Important note

• Reference numbers should use dots instead of spaces Example: bg.2.47 (not bg 2 47)

If entered incorrectly, the app will notify you.

📁 Important

• shlokas.csv must stay in the same folder as Smriti.exe
• Do not rename or delete it

🙏 Why this exists

While working on a computer, it’s easy to stay disconnected from anything spiritual.

Smriti was built as a small, quiet reminder—so that even during work, a shloka can appear and bring a moment of pause.

If this helps you even a little, that’s enough.

---

📚 Data

The included shlokas.csv contains ~80 shlokas collected from vedabase.io.
