## What is Dawntide?

Dawntide is a quiet companion for daily devotional practice from the Bahá'í Writings.

Each day opens with a short passage from the Writings, and the day is shaped around the two devotional occasions of morning and evening: a quote, a longer reading, and a prayer for each. A gentle streak keeps the rhythm without pressure. Morning or evening keeps the day; doing both is simply celebrated.

THE WRITINGS, VERBATIM
Read the Hidden Words, Gleanings, the Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, the full Bahá'í Prayers book, Some Answered Questions, Paris Talks, the Tablets of the Divine Plan, the writings of Shoghi Effendi and the messages of the Universal House of Justice, in the English translations published by the Bahá'í World Centre. One calm reader for everything, with highlights, notes and bookmarks. Search across all of it.

THE BADÍ' CALENDAR
An astronomically computed Badí' calendar: Naw-Rúz from the equinox at Ṭihrán, the Intercalary Days, the Fast with sunrise and sunset times, and every Holy Day including the moveable Twin Holy Birthdays. Each Holy Day has a short programme with history, readings and reflection. Optional reminders for Holy Days and the Nineteen Day Feast. A Qiblih compass. A printable calendar.

STUDY
Short courses drawn from the Writings and the guidance: the Fire Tablet, the Advent of Divine Justice, the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, the Riḍván messages, junior youth and community building, lives of the Hands of the Cause, and a nine-day rhythm for pilgrimage.

A PRIVATE JOURNAL
A daily question, your own entries, Face ID lock, search and export. Everything stays on your device.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no analytics, no tracking, no ads. The readings and the library are bundled, so Dawntide works fully offline. Location is optional and never leaves your phone.

Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show today's quote and your streak.

Dawntide is an independent app made by an individual believer. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any Bahá'í institution.
