dev@jzj.redIncluding your device model and OS version makes things much easier to track down.
Known limitations
- No cloud backup. Records don't follow you to a new phone or survive deleting the app.
- No iCloud or Google account sync — two devices keep separate records.
- On tablets the phone layout is currently scaled up rather than laid out for the larger screen.
Frequently asked questions
Does Incense Table cost anything?
It's free, and there are no in-app purchases. All seven incenses unlock through use or merit.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no account system at all. It never asks for a phone number or an email address.
Does it tell fortunes or draw lots?
No. Incense Table is for stillness, remembrance and intention — not divination, lots or luck readings. The almanac page shows what traditional calendars have always contained; treat it as a nudge.
Does incense keep burning when I close the app?
On the offering table, yes — sticks burn on real time, so you can close the app and come back to see how far along it is. In Stillness, no: leaving the app puts the stick out and the session doesn't count. That's the point of that screen.
Where is my data stored? Will it follow me to a new phone?
It's stored only on your own phone and never uploaded. Because of that, changing devices or deleting the app loses the records — there's no backup or transfer feature yet.
What languages does it support?
Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese and Vietnamese. It follows your system language by default and falls back to Traditional Chinese.
Why are memorial tablets still written in Chinese characters?
That's deliberate. A tablet is an object with a way of being written — Vietnamese thần chủ and Japanese ihai are written in Han characters too. The interface changes language; the few characters on the tablet keep to convention.
How is merit counted?
By how long a stick burns, with rarer incense earning more per minute, capped at 540 a day. Only the offering table earns merit — the shrine is for your ancestors and Stillness is for you, so sticks and streaks still count there, but merit doesn't.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets.
