What it is

A companion for the Orthodox day

Open it in the morning to see what the Church keeps today: the Epistle and Gospel, the saint, the fast, and a word from the Fathers on the passage.

When you need something more personal, tell it how you are feeling. You receive one passage, a few lines from the Fathers and a single question, then a minute of quiet.

No account, no feed, and no notifications you didn’t ask for.

Features

Today

The Epistle and Gospel for the day, in full, for your church’s calendar. The saint of the day and the fast. New Calendar usage for the Greek Archdiocese, the OCA or the Antiochian Archdiocese.

The Fathers

Under each reading, a section from the Church Fathers on that passage: Saint John Chrysostom above all, and the other Eastern Fathers first. Tap "Read more" for the whole section.

How are you feeling?

Anxious, grieving, grateful, tempted, angry, lonely, weary, joyful. Choose how you are and read one passage, a few lines from the Fathers about that very thing, and a single question. Then sixty seconds of quiet. No journal, no text field, no streaks.

Lives of the saints

Tap “See more” on any day for the saints’ lives from the Prologue from Ochrid by St Nikolai Velimirović.

Prayers

Morning and evening prayers, the prayers before and after Holy Communion, the Creed, the Trisagion, meal prayers and more, from the St. Tikhon’s Seminary Press prayer book.

Your Bible

Read in the World English Bible, the King James Version or the Douay-Rheims. Psalms follow the Septuagint numbering, as in church.

Widgets

Home-screen and lock-screen widgets show the day’s Gospel and the fast at a glance.

Wallpapers

Twenty well-loved verses, set on six quiet designs, and saved to your photos.

Saved readings

Reminders

Optional reminders for the morning and evening prayers, the saint of the day and the fast, each at the time you choose. Nothing is sent that you haven’t turned on.

No account. No ads. No tracking. Light and dark, a classic or sans-serif reading font, and text size you can adjust.
