Your Good Deeds tracker
Notice the good you did today. A gentle daily practice of punya and gratitude, not a scoreboard. This tracker is meant for noticing, not boasting or keeping score.
The Bhagavad Gita's idea of nishkama karma, acting without clinging to the reward, is a good guide: do the good thing, notice it, and let it go. If counting starts to feel like competition or guilt, take a break from it. There is no streak to protect and nothing to lose.

What is Punya?
Punya is the merit that, in Indian traditions, is said to arise from wholesome action: giving, serving, speaking truthfully, and living with compassion. It is usually described as the quiet counterpart of papa, the weight of harmful action. Most teachings stress that intention matters as much as the act itself: a small deed done with a sincere heart is held to count for more than a large one done for show.
The Jyotish Perspective
In Jyotish, Jupiter (Guru) is the natural significator of dharma, wisdom and blessings. The 9th house is the house of dharma and fortune, and the 5th house is traditionally read as purva-punya, the merit carried from the past. Traditional texts also link giving with the day of the week and the tithi, which is why this page shows what is traditionally favoured today. These are traditions of reflection and practice, not guarantees of outcomes.

People Also Ask
Punya is the merit or spiritual credit traditionally said to come from wholesome actions such as giving, service, compassion and truthfulness. It is the opposite of papa, the effect of harmful actions.
Through small, regular acts: share food or money with someone in need, help a person or an animal, speak kindly, keep your word, spend a few quiet minutes in prayer or meditation, and thank someone. Consistency matters more than size.
Yes, if the purpose is awareness and gratitude rather than pride. Counting helps you notice the good you did and builds the habit. Traditions that value acting without attachment to the reward simply ask you to keep the motive sincere.
Traditions differ. Many teach that each action bears its own result and that good deeds do not simply cancel harmful ones. Sincere repentance, making amends and changing your conduct (prayashchitta) are usually seen as more important than trying to balance the account.
Tradition associates each weekday with a planet and a form of giving (see 'Traditionally Favoured Today' above), and also values days such as Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya. Still, a sincere act of giving on any ordinary day is considered meaningful.
