Cedar is a simple and focused routine tracker for traditional Catholics who want to bring Catholic prayer, fasting, and discipline into everyday life. There are no complex menus or cluttered screens. View all your day's routines and mark them complete directly from the home screen. Create daily, weekly, or monthly routines, build streaks through consistent completion, and review your history through detailed statistics. Each routine follows its own schedule, so your streak reflects whether you completed it by its due date, not simply whether you opened the app that day. FREE FEATURES • Create daily, weekly, and monthly routines • Use pre-built routines for common Catholic devotions such as First Fridays, First Saturdays, and Friday penance • Track routine completions and build streaks over time • Set reminders to help you remain consistent • Create custom routines with your own prayers, tasks, and activities (all user-entered text is encrypted) • View prayer catalogue and save favorite prayers • A clean, familiar design to make viewing and completing your routines effortless BUILT-IN CATHOLIC ROUTINES Cedar includes special routine types for Catholic practices and devotions, including: • First Fridays • First Saturdays • Weekly Friday Penance • Ember Days • Monthly Confession • Stations of the Cross CEDAR RULE Upgrade to Cedar Rule for additional tools designed to support a more thorough analysis of your prayer discipline: • View detailed completion history, trends, and growth insights • Create up to 25 custom routines • Add private encrypted notes to routines and individual routine items • Use missed-routine grace periods to record a routine shortly after its deadline and preserve a streak when you completed it but forgot to mark it on time. Grace periods give you a limited window to record a routine you completed but forgot to mark on time. Because completions cannot be added indefinitely after the fact, your streak remains a meaningful reflection of your actual consistency.. Cedar Rule is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Pricing is shown in the app before purchase. PRIVACY Cedar does not store your email address, name, IP address, or any other personally identifying information. Any text you manually enter in Cedar, such as custom routine names, routine items, and notes, is end-to-end encrypted on your device before it is sent to our servers using AES-256-GCM encryption. Only your device holds the decryption key. Cedar’s servers cannot read or decrypt your personal text. Operational data needed for the app to function, such as routine type, dates, completion status, and internal identifiers, is not end-to-end encrypted.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cedar at freemium against Answers.tv's subscription. Cedar also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Answers.tv's advantage is ratings volume (954 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Answers.tv sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Cedar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
