Pocket Rosary

A quiet, offline Catholic prayer companion for iPhone with an Apple Watch companion. Pray the Holy Rosary on interactive beads, follow Mass in Latin with phonetic help, close the day with Compline, read today's Australian Mass readings with no account, no ads, and no tracking.

Pocket Rosary is built for people who want fewer notifications and more stillness. Open it, pray, and put it away. Your bead, your intention, and your novena stay on the device.

WHY POCKET ROSARY
• 100% of the prayer content in this version is free
• Works offline — prayers, mysteries, Mass guide, Compline, and readings live on your iPhone
• No account, no ads, no analytics; optional one-time tips do not unlock features
• iPhone app made for one-handed prayer, with Apple Watch and Home Screen widgets
• Remembers where you left the beads
• Optional haptics and keep-screen-on while you pray

THE HOLY ROSARY
An interactive rosary you can see and feel. Beads sit in the classic heart-shaped loop. The current bead is easy to find. Advance through the Our Father, ten Hail Marys, and Glory Be at your own pace.

Choose the mystery set for today or override it:
Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, Luminous, or the full twenty-decade Rosary.
Tap a mystery to read a longer meditation with Scripture and Catechism references. Turn on the fruit of each mystery and short scriptural clauses if they help you stay with the scene. Turn them off if you prefer a quieter bead.

Prayer options you can include or leave out:
• Custom opening intention
• Fatima Prayer (“O my Jesus”)
• Decade intentions
• Marian invocation — Mary, Queen of Peace
• Memorare
• Pope’s monthly intention
• St Michael the Archangel
• Litany of Loreto
• A drawer of traditional prayers when you need the words

ORDER OF MASS (LATIN GUIDE)
Pray the Ordinary of the Mass in Latin. Each response includes pronunciation. English notes explain the moment and the posture. Highlighting separates what the priest says from what the people say.
Pocket Rosary is not the official Missal. Bring this guide to church to participate; your parish Missal remains the liturgical text.

TODAY'S MASS READINGS (AUSTRALIA)
Offline First Reading, Psalm, and Gospel following the Australian liturgical calendar. Scripture text is Douay-Rheims, aligned to Roman Lectionary references. If you live outside Australia, use this as a companion, not as a guarantee that your local parish is reading the same passages today.

NIGHT PRAYER
Compline for the end of the day: opening verse, psalms (including Psalm 91), a short reading, the Canticle of Simeon, and the night blessing.

NOVENA TRACKER
Write the petition. Tap each of the nine days. The count is saved locally so a busy week does not erase the intention.

A NOTE ON WHAT THIS APP IS NOT
It is not a social network. It is not a news feed. It is not a paywalled library. Optional one-time tips support development and never gate prayer.
If you are returning to the Rosary after years away, start with today’s mystery and one decade. If you already pray a daily Rosary, use the beads, the saved place, and the closing prayers as a pocket aide-memoire.
May Our Lady keep you close to her Son.
