## What is Officium?

The traditional Roman Breviary (1962), beautifully typeset, Latin and English side by side, correct for every day — offline.

Officium gives you the Divine Office as prayed for centuries in the Roman Rite, according to the 1962 typical edition (Rubrics of 1960) — the office that accompanies the Traditional Latin Mass.

• THE CORRECT OFFICE, EVERY DAY — open the app and today's hour is ready: feasts, commemorations, seasonal antiphons and collects, all resolved for you. The complete liturgical calendar for 2026–2035 is built in.
• LATIN & ENGLISH, SIDE BY SIDE — the Clementine psalter with traditional liturgical pointing beside English, verse by verse. Modern CPDV English is the default, and the traditional Douay-Rheims remains selectable. Or read in either language alone.
• ALL EIGHT HOURS — the complete daily cursus: Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline, including Matins' full nocturns, lessons and responsories for every day.
• THE LITTLE OFFICE OF THE B.V.M. — the complete traditional lay office of Our Lady in its own tab: the same eight hours in miniature, with its seasonal antiphons and the Annunciation propers, verified day by day for 2026–2035.
• LISTEN TO THE LITTLE OFFICE — every hour of the Little Office read aloud by a calm, steady voice, fully offline: verse-by-verse read-along highlighting, gentle auto-scroll, adjustable playback speed, and lock-screen controls.
• COMPLINE FREE FOREVER — pray the Church's night prayer every day at no cost.
• A TRADITIONAL ORDO — the calendar screen shows every day's celebration, class and liturgical color.
• HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS — today's feast at a glance.
• OFFLINE PRAYER & CALENDAR — no account, no ads, no tracking and no developer server. All prayer and calendar content is built in.

Texts draw on public-domain editions, MIT-licensed source data, and documented project-original translations from the Latin where no suitable vernacular source exists (sources listed in the app). The daily structure is verified against the Divinum Officium project (Rubrics 1960).

### 1/5 — The psalms have no numbers attached to them.

*2026-08-10*

Disappointed in the psalm translation. I have prayed the Divine office since age 16. That’s the past 70 years

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-21

Officium now prays in Brazilian Portuguese and Latin-American Spanish — the complete interface, the Roman office, the Little Office of the B.V.M., widgets, and the read-aloud audio.

Reading improvements, from a reader's feedback:
• Every psalm is headed by its number, and every verse is numbered as in a printed breviary.
• Canticles carry their scripture reference; readings, collects, and hymns are labeled correctly.
• Choose your psalter at first launch — Traditional (Douay-Rheims) or Modern English — the same verse shown in both, so you can choose by ear.
• Text corrections throughout the Portuguese and Spanish psalters.

Bug fixes in 1.1.1:
• Fixed a rare freeze when changing the prayer language.
• The V. and R. marks no longer clip the first letter of the line that follows.
• Steadier audio playback and calendar scrolling.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-19
