## What is ignis?

Ignis is a Catholic prayer companion for ordinary life.

Begin the day with a Morning Offering. Return to the Gospel. Read with the saints. End the day with the Examen. Ignis gathers these moments into a calm, beautiful rhythm that helps you pray without turning prayer into another task.

Each day includes a saint or feast from the Catholic calendar, a focused grace to pray for, and quiet invitations into real prayer. You can also choose spiritualities, religious-order calendars, country calendars, and appearance palettes that reflect the way you live your faith.

Ignis includes:
- A daily Catholic prayer thread
- The Gospel for the day
- A guided Ignatian Examen
- Morning Offering, candle prayer, breath prayer, and resolutions
- Saint dossiers with life, witness, prayers, novenas, and sources
- Spirituality choices including Ignatian, Franciscan, Dominican, Carmelite, Benedictine, Salesian, Opus Dei, and more
- Country and religious-order saint calendars
- Guided pathways, including the Spiritual Exercises and spiritual reading
- Multiple palettes, including Night and Olive
- Local-first reflection and prayer progress
- 30-day spirituality pathways based on the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises and Pope Leo XIV new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas 

Ignis is made for people who want to pray faithfully in the middle of real life: before work, between responsibilities, after a difficult day, or in the quiet before sleep.

It is not a productivity tracker. It is not a social network. It is a small rule of life in your pocket.
