The Eastern Orthodox app for every day
The Church day as your own church keeps it: the feast and the fast, the saints, the readings, the Septuagint and the daily prayers. In one calm app.
Free on iPhone. Every text, for good.
Your church, on the New or Old Calendar
Choose the OCA, ROCOR or the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese. The app follows that church's own calendar, used with their permission, for every day through 2036.
Nobody is a second-class reader here. Each church’s saints, lives, troparia, kontakia, fasts and readings come from its own sources, and the month view shows both calendars side by side.
Everything an Orthodox day needs
What can I eat today?
The fast in plain words, with a countdown to the next fast and feast.
Lives of the saints
Thousands of lives from the churches’ own synaxaria, each credited to its source.
The Septuagint Bible
Brenton’s Old Testament with the King James New Testament.
Prayers read aloud
Morning and evening prayers and the Communion prayers, recorded by a person.
The Jesus Prayer rope
A gentle haptic on every knot. Count 33, 50, 100, or your own number.
Name days
For you and your family, remembered every year.
See today’s saint, fast and readings now. Free, with no account.
On your wrist, too
With Premium, the Church day and the Jesus Prayer rope come to Apple Watch, with complications and Orthodox watch faces.
What is free, and what Premium adds
Premium never locks a text. It is support that keeps the texts free for everyone.
