## What is Lauds?

Lauds puts the Catholic day where you will see it: on your Lock Screen and Home Screen, every morning.

TODAY, AT A GLANCE
• The liturgical day, its colour and rank, and the saint of the day — computed on your phone for the United States calendar.
• The day's readings, listed by citation. One tap opens the official USCCB readings in Reader mode; a public-domain translation (Douay-Rheims or the Catholic Public Domain Version) is there for reading offline.
• A short life of the saint from Butler's Lives of the Saints.
• A 6:30 notification, set on your phone — no push, no server.

WIDGETS
Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets show the feast, the saint and the day's psalm line. Tap to open Today.

LAUDS PRO
• A guided Rosary with the mysteries of the day, a bead counter and read-aloud prayers.
• The Litany of Loreto and a novena, read aloud.
• Evening: a five-step examen and a traditional night prayer.
• A candle for an intention — it burns on your widget for a day or a week.
• Optional prayer tracking, kept on your phone.
Prayer audio is read by a synthetic voice, generated from the prayer text before the app ships.

QUIET BY DESIGN
• No account, no email, no login. Purchases and restores go through your Apple ID.
• Your prayers, intentions and history stay on your phone.
• No ads, no ad networks. We don't sell or share your data with advertisers.
• Every text in the app is public domain or ours, and says which.

Lauds Pro is available as a monthly or annual subscription, or as a one-time purchase, with Family Sharing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.
