## What is Breviary?

Breviary is the Roman Catholic Liturgy of the Hours for iPhone and iPad, with the complete texts in Latin, Slovak, Czech, Hungarian and Icelandic.

It is made for people who pray the Office every day: priests, religious, seminarians and lay people. The app opens on today's celebrations and takes you to the hour you need in two taps.

THE COMPLETE OFFICE
• Invitatory, Office of Readings, Morning Prayer, Daytime Prayer (Terce, Sext, None), Evening Prayer and Night Prayer
• The full liturgical calendar, including the proper celebrations of the national and diocesan calendars; when several celebrations fall on one day, you choose which one to pray
• The same texts as on breviar.sk, ebreviar.cz and zsolozsma.katolikus.hu

WORKS OFFLINE
All texts are generated on your device, so no internet connection is needed to pray. When you are online, the latest texts can be downloaded from the website.

COMFORTABLE READING
• Light and dark mode, adjustable text size, a choice of fonts and bold text
• Full-screen reading with a single tap
• Bible references open the passage with one tap, on bible.com or on the Bible website of your language where available
• Text-to-speech: have the Hours read aloud at your own pace, with the controls on the Lock Screen and in your car

MADE FOR DAILY USE
Detailed options for those who know the Office well: variants of the psalter, commons, rubrics, Te Deum, national and religious-order calendars and much more.

WIDGETS
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show the celebrations of today and the coming days together with their liturgical colours.

FREE, NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT
The app is free, shows no advertisements and collects no personal data.

The texts are published as a working version with the permission of the respective bishops' conferences.
