## What is Phōs?

Phōs  (“light”) is a companion for Coptic Orthodox Christians, made to keep the rhythm of the Church close through the day. Whether you have prayed in the Coptic tradition all your life or are only beginning to discover the ancient faith of Egypt, Phōs helps you pray, follow the calendar, and grow.

TODAY IN THE CHURCH
See the Coptic date and the Year of the Martyrs at a glance, know the fast or feast of the day, and step straight into the hour of prayer you are in.

PRAY THE AGPEYA
Pray the canonical hours, the watches the Church has kept since the desert fathers, with the psalms and prayers laid out simply.

THE COPTIC CALENDAR
Follow the whole liturgical year, its feasts, fasts, and commemorations, all worked out on your device.

LEARN COPTIC
A gentle way into the language of the Church: the full alphabet with the sound of every letter, tap to hear it read aloud, and the holy words you will hear in every Liturgy.

A SAINT EVERY DAY
Meet the saint or martyr the Church remembers today, drawn from the Synaxarion.

DAILY READINGS
The Katameros readings for the day: the Psalms and Gospels of the hours and of the Liturgy.

NEW TO THE FAITH
Warm, clear explainers for anyone exploring Coptic Orthodoxy.

Phōs works offline, keeps nothing about you, and asks for no account.
Glory be to God.
