Scripture, the Hours, the saints
The Douay-Rheims Bible with an illuminated initial for every book. The seven Hours of the Divine Office, from Lauds to Compline. The saint the Church keeps today, with a line to carry with you.
A Catholic app for a quieter phone
Most apps are built to keep you scrolling. Ora is built to send you back to God and then get out of the way. It has the Scriptures, the Hours and the saints of the day, and a digital fast that locks the phone when you want to be still.
Free to try in your browser. The iPhone and Android app is in development.
What's inside
The Douay-Rheims Bible with an illuminated initial for every book. The seven Hours of the Divine Office, from Lauds to Compline. The saint the Church keeps today, with a line to carry with you.
Ask about purgatory, confession or the Rosary. Answers draw on the Catechism, Scripture and the Fathers, and name every source so you can check it for yourself.
Ora counts the minutes you spend in it and asks you to leave. When you want real quiet, the digital fast shuts everything but prayer and the people you love.
“…technological products are not neutral, for they create a framework which ends up conditioning lifestyles and shaping social possibilities…”Pope Francis, Laudato Si' 107
Ora takes that seriously. It measures itself by how soon you put it down, not by how long you stay.
The digital fast
Pick the one that fits the day. Ending a fast early takes a deliberate three-second hold, long enough to ask yourself whether you mean it.
