## What is Little Way?

Pray before you scroll.

When you reach for Instagram, TikTok, or whatever pulls you in, Little Way pauses it and asks you to pray a Hail Mary first — for a real person who asked the world for prayer. Pray, and a flower blooms in their garden. Then your app opens.

It's the Catholic way to redeem your screen time: the scroll becomes a small act of love. St. Thérèse reached the whole world in prayer without ever leaving her convent — now you can, from the one place you already are.

PRAYER SHIELD
Choose the apps that pull you in. When you open one, pause and pray a Hail Mary for a soul who needs it — your prayer waters their bouquet. No streaks, no guilt. (Requires Screen Time access. A premium feature.)

CHAPEL OF INTERCESSION
Pray for others — and be prayed for. Lift up strangers in need, and post your own intention for anyone you carry. A community of people who pray before they scroll will carry it: each time someone reaches for their phone, they pray for a soul in the Chapel, and a flower blooms in the garden. You'll watch it grow, and know you were never praying alone. Anonymous or named, God knows every heart.

And the shield is just the doorway. Little Way is a whole quiet Catholic life — the little way to becoming a saint, one small act of love at a time.

Begin each morning by offering a small act of love. Carry it through your day. Close the night with a gentle examen that names tomorrow's small act. That simple rhythm, easy enough to actually keep, is the heart of Little Way.

Built on the spirituality of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and her "little way" of doing small things with great love, the app gives your faith a gentle daily shape: a morning offering to begin, flowers (small acts of love) gathered through the day, and a nightly examination of conscience to close the loop and prepare your heart for confession.

It is free to pray, with no ads and nothing you need for daily prayer locked away.

SPIRITUAL BOUQUETS
Gather flowers for anyone: a living soul, a beloved departed, or a special intention. Seven flowers plus Holy Masses, Holy Hours, and candles.

NIGHTLY EXAMEN
Gratitude. Review. Virtue focus. A closing prayer matched to your spiritual state. Set your intention for tomorrow and wake to it as your Morning Offering.

PRAY THE ROSARY
A beautiful, interactive rosary. Today's mysteries are always free. Earn the Mystical Rose by praying a full rosary for someone you love.

PREPARE FOR CONFESSION
Examine your conscience through the Little Way, guided by St. Thérèse, not a dry checklist. Eight areas of your life. Prompts for your state of life. A step-by-step confessional guide. Go from the heart or write it on a notecard. Post-confession thanksgiving included. Your examination never leaves your device.

DAILY SPIRITUAL LIFE
• Morning Offering with Scripture, Thérèse quote, and your intention
• 13 virtues with daily teachings from Thérèse's life
• Story of a Soul: 80 daily excerpts with reflection prompts
• Gospel Encounter with the daily reading
• Liturgical calendar, feast days, and Traditional Latin Mass propers

"I want to spend my heaven doing good upon the earth." -- St. Thérèse

Free to pray. Premium unlocks unlimited bouquets, prayer gardens, the Mystical Rose, liturgical themes, cloud backup, and more.

### 5/5 — The app I’ve been looking for!

*2026-08-14*

I can’t believe an app like this exists! I wanted something to help me practice a different virtue each day and stumbled across this app. I’ve only been using it for a day and I am amazed at the thoughtfulness of the features and how it can seamlessly integrate into my day. I’m so excited to keep using it!

### 5/5 — Beautiful and peaceful

*2026-08-12*

I use several prayer apps, and all have their perks, but I come to the Little Way to start and end my day, and whenever I need a moment of quiet in God. It is peaceful and serene - a beautiful way to help me step out of the crazy of the world and back to God’s peace. I love how simple it shows is that prayer can be. And I love that there are SO MANY free features, without having to purchase. Really a lovely app!

### 5/5 — Wonderful Idea!

*2026-08-05*

This is a fantastic blessed app. What I wonderful idea!

### 5/5 — My Favorite App Ever

*2026-07-22*

The intention and thoughtfulness of this app is completely mind blowing. Not only is it beautiful to use, but it is so comprehensive and filled with little treasures that I probably haven’t even discovered yet. LittleWay has truly enriched my spiritual life and breathed new life into my journey. One thing I would love to see is an option to add your intentions or the day’s Little Way in a widget so I can keep it front and center. Thank you so much for this app. It’s truly a work of art and a work of heart.

**Developer response:** Thank you — reading this was a genuine gift. "A work of art and a work of heart" is exactly what we pray Little Way can be, and to hear it has enriched your spiritual life and breathed new life into your journey means more than we can say.

And good news on your idea, on both counts. There's already a Daily Intention widget you can add right now — long-press your Home Screen, tap +, and search "Little Way" — it keeps your intention and the day's virtue front and center. You've also inspired our next update: a dedicated Today's Little Way widget that shows the whole daily virtue you're carrying, exactly as you pictured. It's on its way.

Thank you for praying with us — and please know you're held in our prayers, too.

God bless,
Carter · Little Way

### 5/5 — The Little Way

*2026-07-14*

This app has truly blessed me! I believe it was a sign from St. Thèrèse herself! I emailed the owner of the app and told him that this app is truly beautiful, praying for people that are struggling with mental health, and other things they can offer up! 
I highly recommend this app!!

**Developer response:** Thank you — this means so much, and especially coming from you. That you carry souls struggling with their mental health in prayer is the very heart of what we hoped Little Way could be. Grateful for you. God bless.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.9 — 2026-08-14

Your prayers come home together. When several souls have prayed for you, their gifts now arrive as one gathered bouquet — every flower blooming in turn, every one named. Touch a flower to see who it was from. One Amen receives them all.

Walk among them again. In your Treasures, the flowers of everyone who has carried you can be revisited any time — every flower, every name — to see again that you are loved.

Love meets you at the door. When a prayer has come home for you, Home now says so the moment you arrive — no digging, no missing it.

A quieter, clearer Home. The Garden is now a front door with three rooms behind it — Your People, the Chapel, and your Treasures — so each day's call stands out and everything has its place.

Take Heart. A new door in the Interior tab for the nights prayer is hard — with the saints who found it hard too. Free, always.

Give a year. You can now give Little Way to someone you love — a Confirmation or First Communion sponsor gift, an RCIA welcome, or simply because. Find it in Settings.

See every theme properly. Appearance is now a full catalogue — each theme with its own painting of St. Thérèse and a true preview of the app in its colors.

And many small graces — the Chapel named over the souls it sends, gentler heroes, truer words throughout.

### 1.2.8 — 2026-08-03

On a feast, the saint of the day is given room. Their words now settle into the Home hero at a size that fits them — Thérèse keeps her place, and nothing runs past the edge.

• Your novitiate remembers what you have already done. If your own intention is already in the Chapel, or tonight's examen is already gathered, the day is kept — you are never asked for a thing twice.

• The Divine Mercy Chaplet now prays with St. Thérèse — one of her reflections before every decade, wherever you begin it.

### 1.2.7 — 2026-07-31

WHEN SOMEONE PRAYS FOR YOU, YOU'LL KNOW
Entrust an intention to the Chapel, and when a soul stops to pray for you, a quiet word now arrives — and opens straight onto the flower they left. And when a soul in the Chapel is close to being forgotten, the Chapel itself will gently ask if you can carry them.

A LITTLE GUIDE
Ever unsure what to do next? A gentle map of the whole practice now lives behind three quiet doors — a whisper on Home shows newcomers the way, and the Guide stays where you can always find it. No tours, no pop-ups; just the map, when you want it.

ALSO IN THIS VERSION
• Whom to Carry — the Church's own intentions join your bouquet beginnings: the Most Forgotten Soul, Priests & Missionaries, a Soul Far From the Faith, Someone Hard to Love, the Persecuted Church, the Sick and Suffering — each with its own prayer, in the Church's own words
• Walk the nine days again — professed Little Souls can begin the Novitiate anew, any time; your first profession is never rewritten
• Prayer Circles — the gardens you share with family and friends are now called Prayer Circles
• The Chapel keeps the hours — incense rises over the votive wall, and the room breathes with the day
• Day 3 of the Novitiate now teaches where each flower lives once it is given
• Your words stay yours — a witness never leaves the app without your permission
• Home now offers one thing at a time — a quieter, clearer welcome
• Many small graces and fixes throughout

Never a streak, never a debt. If you set the app down, it will simply be glad to see you.

### 1.2.5 — 2026-07-29

Your Novitiate — nine days with St. Thérèse. Learn the Little Way as she lived it: what a flower truly is, how it is thrown, the hidden beads, the Chapel — and on the ninth day, her Act of Oblation. Free, always. It begins from your Home screen, or anytime in Explore.

And when you place someone in the Chapel, you no longer have to carry them alone. Name one person who prays — a friend, your mother, whoever comes to mind — and ask them. One Hail Mary is the whole ask, and they can pray for your soul right from the message, without downloading anything.

• Complete the nine days and be professed as one of the Little Souls — choose the virtue you will carry, and receive the Little Flower into your bouquet.

• Ask one person to pray with you, the moment you place an intention. Their prayer lands in that soul's bouquet — and you will know when someone came.

• Every flower now teaches its meaning — on the picker tiles, in the Chapel, and in the new Language of Flowers guide. A violet rose joins them: the flower of the humble ask, which cannot be kept. It is laid on a soul.

• Read for free: the first three days of Story of a Soul and the first Little Way in Practice teaching are now open to everyone.

• Finished The First Roses? Your novitiate now begins right from the completion card.

• After graduation, a weekly invitation on Home — one hidden act each week, in the virtue you carry.

• Sacred Music now fills the screen on iPad, and reading is more comfortable there throughout the app.

• Gentler invitations: the Rosary's Mystical Rose ask now rests between appearances instead of returning after every rosary.

• Many small graces: the Chapel's own light when you place an intention, buttons that no longer cut off long names, a smoother Home, clearer Treasures, and fixes throughout.

### 1.2.4 — 2026-07-25

Sacred Music, grown into a library. The chapel now holds 140 tracks of sacred chant — Rosaries, the Divine Mercy chaplet, vespers, and music for keeping vigil — with a new home for your beloved pieces.

Today's Little Way widget. The day's virtue arc, right on your Home Screen — a reader asked, and we listened.
 
Also in this release: reliability and polish throughout, so prayers, receipts, and renewals are counted faithfully.
