Ave: Rosary App

Ave is the most beautiful and focused way to pray the Holy Rosary on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Whether you are new to the Rosary or have prayed it for years, Ave guides you through every step — from the opening Sign of the Cross to the closing prayer — with clarity, reverence, and purpose.

PRAY WITH INTENTION
Each day features the recommended mystery set based on the traditional schedule — Joyful on Mondays and Saturdays, Sorrowful on Tuesdays and Fridays, Glorious on Wednesdays and Sundays, and Luminous on Thursdays. You can also choose any mystery set freely at any time.

GUIDED ROSARY SESSIONS
Ave walks you through each step of the full Rosary: the Apostles' Creed, the opening prayers, all five decades with the Our Father, ten Hail Marys, the Glory Be, and the Fatima Prayer, closing with the Hail Holy Queen and the traditional closing prayer. For each mystery, you'll find a rich Scripture reference, a beautiful meditation story, and an original image to help you enter into prayer.

BEAD CHAIN NAVIGATION
A visual bead chain runs alongside every session, glowing gold on your current bead and showing at a glance where you are in the Rosary. Tap any bead to jump directly to that prayer. Swipe left or right to advance or go back. Progress beads on the home screen show how many decades you have completed.

BEAUTIFUL BACKGROUNDS
The app comes alive with time-of-day backgrounds — a soft purple sunrise in the morning, a bright blue sky at midday, a warm orange and pink sunset in the evening, and a deep indigo and black starfield at night. Your prayer environment changes with the light outside.

SAVE & RESUME
Start a Rosary and get interrupted? Ave automatically saves your exact position — which decade, which prayer, which repetition — so you can pick up exactly where you left off, any time during the same day.

PRAYER INTENTIONS
Keep a living list of people and intentions to bring to every Rosary. Add intentions with a tap, mark them answered when prayers are heard, and swipe to remove them. Your intentions are stored privately on your device and carry across every session.

FULL PRAYER LIBRARY
Browse and read the complete text of all Rosary prayers at any time: the Apostles' Creed, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Hail Holy Queen, Fatima Prayer, Sign of the Cross, and the traditional Closing Prayer.

MYSTERY MEDITATIONS
Twenty beautifully written meditations cover all four mystery sets — Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous. Each mystery includes its Scripture reference and a reflective narrative to deepen your prayer.

COMPLETELY PRIVATE
