## What is Vita Norma?

Vita Norma is a private, offline companion for keeping a personal rule of life — the small daily fidelities that the saints have always shown are the path to holiness.

Open the app each morning and you find your day already laid out: a quiet checklist of the practices you keep — morning offering, Mass, mental prayer, spiritual reading, the Gospel, the Angelus, the Rosary, examen, the three Hail Marys before sleep. Mark what you have done. Note what is on your heart.

Vita Norma was conceived as an instrument of contemplation, not a tracker of performance. There are no streaks designed to shame, no leaderboards, no notifications shouting at you. Reminders, when you enable them, show only a discreet hint on the lock screen — never the name of the prayer itself.

Above all: nothing leaves your device. No accounts. No servers. No analytics. No tracking. Your spiritual life is between you and God alone.

Free forever. Free of advertising. Free of in-app purchases. This is the developer's offering.

Features
• Twelve traditional daily devotions preloaded
• Weekly view with reflection
• Local reminders with discreet lock-screen hints
• Liturgical accent color that shifts subtly across the year
• Latin/English/Portuguese typography throughout
• Backup and restore — to Files, iCloud Drive, or wherever you choose

This is a personal devotional aid. It does not substitute for spiritual direction, the sacraments, or the Magisterium of the Church.

Soli Deo Gloria.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-06-15

Confessio is now persistent — your examination of conscience, notes,
  and last-confession date carry across sessions, gated behind Face ID.

  · Catholic examen catalog: Ten Commandments, capital sins, precepts of
    the Church, sins against the Holy Spirit, duties of state — 200+
    pastoral prompts to add to your list.
  · A printed confession script reads your selections back to you in the
    form spoken to the priest, with the Act of Contrition.
  · Plan templates: a four-norm beginner default plus optional traditional
    and Opus Dei rules.
  · The Rosary opening now includes the Apostles' Creed inline.
  · Stronger privacy: the local store is excluded from iCloud Backup;
    every tab cover the screen before iOS takes the app-switcher snapshot.
