Tell Come Aside how you feel today, and it meets you with a short prayer and a Scripture verse for exactly that. Come Aside is a gentle Catholic companion for the daily Mass readings, reflection, the Rosary, devotions, and a journal you can return to. Begin with the liturgical day, Mass reading citations, public-domain Scripture text, a short Come Aside reflection, and one gentle journal question. Save a line, write a few words, record a voice reflection, or keep a fuller entry when you have more to say. Come Aside is built for return, not pressure. Your journal can hold typed reflections, voice reflections, moods, Apple Journaling Suggestions moments you choose, imported notes, remembered milestones, kept lines, and saved reviews. Calm reminders and review invitations help you return without streaks or spiritual scorekeeping. The daily readings, Come Aside reflection, daily question, and Rosary are free to use every day. Come Aside Plus unlocks the wider journal memory experience, devotions such as novenas and simple fasts, spoken reflections, prayer songs from saved reviews, optional AI suggestions, and private sync across devices. Privacy matters because prayer and journaling are sensitive. The core daily loop is local-first. Optional AI suggestions use only the draft, entry, transcript, or review range you choose, stay editable, and are saved only when you accept them. Export, deletion, support, privacy, accessibility, Restore Purchases, and subscription management remain available. Come Aside Plus is an auto-renewable subscription available weekly, monthly, or annually. U.S. launch prices are $2.99/week, $9.99/month, or $69.99/year with 7 days free on the annual plan. The App Store purchase sheet shows your local renewal price before you confirm.
