Why people use this app
How this app supports Orthodox prayers.
What Orthodox prayers are
Orthodox prayers are the received prayers of the Eastern Orthodox Church — words handed down from Scripture, the Psalms, and the Church Fathers, and prayed in largely the same form for centuries. Rather than being composed fresh each time, they give the faithful a steady, tested language for approaching God, which is why most Orthodox Christians keep a written prayer book close at hand.
Orthodox morning prayers
The morning rule begins the day with the Trisagion prayers, the Lord's Prayer, Psalm 50, the Creed, and prayers of thanksgiving for the night that has passed. Reading Orthodox morning prayers before anything else sets the tone for everything that follows, and having them on your phone means the rule starts the moment you wake rather than whenever you find the book.
Orthodox evening prayers
Prayers before sleep close the day with repentance, thanksgiving, and the prayers of Saint John Damascene and Saint Macarius the Great. The evening rule is a short examination of conscience — a chance to ask forgiveness for the day's failures and commend the coming night to God before rest.
The Jesus Prayer
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” The Jesus Prayer is the shortest and most repeated of all Orthodox prayers, prayed quietly and continually throughout the day. The built-in counter lets you keep a rule of a set number of repetitions without needing a prayer rope in hand.
Prayers before Holy Communion
Preparation for the Eucharist involves a longer sequence of Orthodox prayers, canons, and psalms read in the days and hours beforehand, followed by prayers of thanksgiving afterwards. These are long texts, so they are laid out in a calm reading view that saves your place and stays comfortable over a full session.
Akathists, canons, and troparia
Beyond the daily rule, Orthodox prayer life includes akathists sung in praise of Christ, the Theotokos, and the saints; penitential canons; and the troparia and kontakia of the Church calendar. All of them sit in the same searchable prayer library, so you can find the right prayer for a feast, a need, or a saint's day in seconds.
