iBreviary

iBreviary puts the Catholic Liturgy of the Hours, the Roman Missal, and the Lectionary on a phone, tablet, or browser so priests, religious, and laypeople can pray the office without carrying the books.^1 Paolo Padrini built the app, and it remains free on iOS and Android.^1 The texts are offered in ten languages — Italian, English, Spanish, French, Romanian, Arabic, Portuguese, Turkish, Latin, and Galician — and stay current with the liturgical calendar, including the Latin Vetus Ordo for the Breviary and Missal.^1 A partnership with the Custody of the Holy Land supplies daily-updated Hours and Missal texts and the liturgical forms used at the Holy Places.^1 Religious congregations can add their own propers. Current partners include the Salesians of Don Bosco, the Congregation of the Passion of Jesus, the Franciscan Families, and the Missionaries of the Most Precious Blood.^4 It also gathers the main prayers of the Christian tradition, a saints section, and optional saved days for travel without a connection.^1 The same daily office is available in a browser.^2
