Example alert. Names and numbers are illustrative.

Key takeaways

The short version.

  • Catholic Reminders delivers the day's readings, saint of the day and a short prayer without you hunting for them.
  • You can receive alerts by text, by email, or through your favorite AI, such as a personal AI like Instinct or Muse.
  • Feast days, fasting days and Sunday readings can be listed for the week ahead when you ask.
  • Novena tracking and commitments help you keep going past day one.
  • The app reports and reminds. It does not replace your priest, your parish or your own conscience.

Who it is for

Why does a morning prayer routine so often fall apart?

  • Most people who want to pray in the morning do not lack good intentions.

  • Then there is the practical side.

  • Catholic Reminders is built for exactly this gap.

Most people who want to pray in the morning do not lack good intentions. They lack a starting point. You wake up, check your phone, and within a minute the news, messages and work have taken the space you meant to give to prayer.

Then there is the practical side. What is today's feast? Which saint do we remember? What are the readings? Finding that means opening a few tabs, comparing sources and hoping you land on the right calendar. By the time you have it, the quiet moment has gone.

Catholic Reminders is built for exactly this gap. It helps you understand what your day and week mean in the Catholic faith, and it brings the liturgical calendar, feast days, saints, readings, prayers and context for what is happening in the Church to you, when you need them. It is for busy parents, commuters, students, newly returned Catholics and anyone who wants a gentle daily rhythm instead of one more thing to look up.

Use cases

4 ways people use A morning prayer routine that fits your phone.

  1. Two-minute start

    1. The morning you only have two minutes

    Picture a parent getting children ready for school. There is no time to search for the readings, but there is time to read one short message while the kettle boils.

    The morning briefing gives you the readings, the saint of the day and a short prayer in one place. You read it, say the prayer, and open the full readings later if you have a quiet moment. The routine happened, even on a rushed day. The morning briefing is part of Premium, which is free during the beta.

  2. Saint of the day

    2. Learning who the saint of the day is

    Say you have started going to daily Mass and keep hearing names you do not recognize. You want context, not a long essay.

    The alert names the saint of the day and today's feast, and you can ask your AI for more. Then you can carry one small fact into your day, such as why this person is remembered. The free plan covers today's feast, saint and readings anytime, so you can start there.

  3. Week ahead

    3. Seeing the week before it starts

    Fasting days and feast days can sneak up on you. For example, you might realize on the day itself that you planned a big dinner on a fasting day.

    Ask what this week means in the Church calendar and the app can list the feast days, fasting days and Sunday readings for the week ahead. You adjust your plans on Sunday evening rather than on Friday at noon.

  4. Novena tracking

    4. Finishing a novena instead of forgetting day four

    A novena is nine days of prayer, and the hard part is remembering day after day. For example, you begin one with real intent and lose track by the fourth morning.

    With novena tracking and commitments in Premium, the app keeps count and reminds you where you are. You pray the day's prayer and keep going. In the evening, the evening briefing is there to close the day.
