What's New in Catholic DeVice

1.3.17

October 15, 2026

The free Vice List shields two apps. Choosing a third, or a whole category, now says so right inside the picker: untick down to two and save, or unlock the full shield with one tap. The picker no longer closes on you. Small fixes throughout.

Pick up your Cross and Shield

This app is incredible. Take the time to go through all the app has available, from the app blocking to the website protection to full novenas and prayers.

I am incredibly grateful for the support I received when I found a bug. Not only were we able to diagnose the problem, but we made the app better for every user.

If you want an app that provides you a new opportunity to connect with God, turn away from sin, and build your faith in a fuller way then turn to Catholic DeVice.

Yours in Christ,
Luke

FAQ

Does Catholic DeVice have ads?

No, Catholic DeVice does not contain advertisements. The app is free to download and use, with optional in-app purchases for additional content or features.

How does Catholic DeVice enforce prayer?

Catholic DeVice enforces prayer at the OS level by displaying a full-screen 'Praywall' before allowing access to apps you've marked as vices. This wall requires you to complete a prayer before a timed window opens for the app.

Can Catholic DeVice be used offline?

Yes, Catholic DeVice's OS-level interception works offline, survives reboots, and self-heals, ensuring its persistence even without an internet connection.

What kind of prayers are available in Catholic DeVice?

Catholic DeVice offers a 'Treasury' of real prayers from Scripture, the liturgy, saints, and Church Fathers. Options include the Daily Rosary, novenas, Psalms, and prayers from figures like Padre Pio and St. Thérèse.

What content is available in the 'Bookshelf' feature?

The 'Bookshelf' provides offline access to a digital library of religious texts, including the Holy Gospels and Psalms (Douay-Rheims), The Imitation of Christ, Baltimore Catechisms, Butler's Lives of the Saints, and Augustine's City of God.

Does Catholic DeVice track streaks?

No, Catholic DeVice intentionally does not use streaks. Instead, 'Days of Fidelity' accumulate, and a missed day does not reset progress, focusing on grace built rather than punitive measures.

What is the 'Cloister' feature in Catholic DeVice?

The 'Cloister' feature allows for scheduled silence and enforced lockouts. This includes 'Retreats' to lock vices, recurring schedules for specific times like work or family dinners, and a 'Vow' feature to seal disciplines.

Is Catholic DeVice suitable for all ages?

Catholic DeVice is rated for ages 4 and up. It also includes an opt-in adult-content filtering feature called 'Custody of the Eyes' for added protection.
