Confessio is your companion for a deeper prayer life and a well-prepared confession — with absolute privacy. Everything you record stays encrypted on your iPhone and protected by Face ID. Your confessions are sacred, and the app was designed around that. EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE Record and organize your examination of conscience with discretion. Clear categories help you prepare for confession calmly and deeply. PRAYERS A library of dozens of traditional Catholic prayers — search, favorites, and tracking of your prayer days. ROSARY WITH AUDIO Pray the Rosary guided by audio, with all 20 mysteries (Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious), alternating voices, and a sacred musical background. Adjust the speed and language. GOSPEL OF THE DAY Each day's Gospel, kept current, right on your iPhone and Apple Watch. SAINT OF THE DAY Follow the saint celebrated on each day of the year. APPLE WATCH The app follows your heart rate variability and, in moments of stress, gently suggests a prayer suited to your state. PRIVACY FIRST • Everything encrypted on device (AES-256) • Unlock with Face ID / Touch ID • Works offline — you never lose your records • Optional, private sync between iPhone and Apple Watch Confessio exists to help you prepare for confession with dignity, silence, and respect for your spiritual journey. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-08 Prayer Plans Build your own sequence: choose the prayers, the order, and whether each one is heard aloud or read in silence. The app moves from one to the next on its own, and a reminder can call you at the hour you choose. Also in this version: • Every devotion can join a plan — including the Prayers of Saint Bridget, the Seven Our Fathers. • Three new prayers in the library: the Angelus, the Miserere (Psalm 51) and the Memorare. • Search now finds chaplets and devotions, not only the library. • Prayer time is now measured from the audio that actually played. A rosary prayed in two sittings adds both; paused time no longer counts. • Interior Health gained a comparison between days of more and less prayer, and a steadier reading of what the heart records around prayer. May peace be with you. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-26 Devotions for the souls in purgatory The prayer of Saint Bridget, voice-guided for twelve minutes, and three short voiced devotions: Eternal Rest, Prayer for the Departed and De Profundis. Finish the guided devotion and you can keep a remembrance card. 40 Days with Saint Michael the Archangel From August 15 to September 29, a daily journey with consecration, rosary and the prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe for the sick. The app follows your day within the campaign. A more natural voice in the library Prayers in the library can be read aloud, with the text lighting up word by word. The app now shows how to download an enhanced system voice and lets you choose who reads. Devotions on Apple Watch The devotions reached the wrist, with the audio fetched from iPhone the first time. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-15 New: Prayer Focus Lock. You can now choose apps to block while praying the rosary, doing an examination of conscience, or in any prayer session — helping you stay spiritually focused without distractions. Opt-in feature; app selection stays entirely on your device. ### 1.0 — 2026-06-04 No release notes. ## More apps by Ilan Salviano - [Meal AI: Coach in Your Pocket](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/meal-ai-coach-in-your-pocket/id6765956583) - [Onyric](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/onyric/id6773154409) All apps by Ilan Salviano: https://appshunter.io/developer/1896140266 ## Related topics [auxilium christianorum priests](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/auxilium-christianorum-priests) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
