The day’s office
The appointed Gospel and Epistle, the saints of the day, and the fasting note — named in words, not color-coded. The year follows the New Calendar (OCA) reckoning.
Orthodox Daily Readings
The liturgical year, day by day — readings, fasting, feasts, and the saints, one day at a time.

What the app holds
The whole Bible, already on the device
Today’s reading, and any book or chapter you open after it. One translation, bundled with the app and readable offline. Listen with the voice your phone already has.
No accounts, no ads, no tracking
The office lives on the device. There is nothing to sign in for, nothing watching how you pray, and nothing that needs a network once the app is installed.
Today
The reading the Church appoints
Open the day and the Gospel and Epistle are already there — the same pericopes heard at liturgy, with the day’s saint and a short prayer beside them.
A fasting pill names the rule. A feast banner names the commemoration. The Daily Office is four quiet parts; Today’s Verse is the first verse of the appointed Gospel. Plans for the fasting seasons sit below when one is underway.
Read
The whole Bible, verse by verse
Today’s Gospel and Epistle open first. From there the whole Bible is open — any book, any chapter — with LXX psalm numbers as the Church cites them.
Tap a verse for Highlight, Note, Bookmark, Copy, Share, or Pray. Pray writes the reference onto your personal list. The voice that reads is the one already on the device.
Prayer
The prayers of the Church, and your own
The pocket prayer book, in its own order: Morning (opening with the Trisagion), Evening, Mealtime, Preparation for Holy Communion, Thanksgiving after, and the occasional prayers of a household.
Beside it, a personal list — keep an intention, mark it answered, look back. Guided Prayer walks the Trisagion, the Lord’s Prayer, and those intentions one card at a time.
Search
One box, four kinds of answer
A name, a feast, a reference, or a phrase. Results stay in their kinds — Scripture, Readings, Saints, Prayers — so a prophet is not mixed with a pericope.
Topic chips sit above the list: Fasting, Great Feasts, Holy Week, the ranks of saints, Repentance, the Theotokos, the Cross.
You
A rule of prayer, kept quietly
Completing the Daily Office keeps a number, and a Perfect Weeks count that never falls even when the live streak later breaks. Badges mark the milestone reached, not a running score.
A local reminder can ask once in the evening if the office is still undone. Highlights, notes, and bookmarks stay on the device. The habit is the reading itself.
Who it is for
For the growing Orthodox community
Catechumens finding the services for the first time, young families keeping a rule at home, and the many who already belong but are not at liturgy every week.
The Church keeps more than one calendar and more than one jurisdiction. Orthodox Daily Readings follows the New-Calendar (OCA) year: one free daily office that holds scripture, the saints, fasting, the prayers of the Church, and the fasting-season plans together, and stays current as the year turns.
