Saintify is a quiet companion to the saints. Each day it offers one saint: original artwork, a short life, and an original prayer written in plain, modern language. On a saint's feast day, that saint takes the day. The rest of the year moves gently through the collection. When you need someone in particular, look by need rather than by name - travel, lost things, toothache, impossible causes - and keep the ones who keep you company. WHAT'S INSIDE - Saint of the Day, with home screen and lock screen widgets - Fifty saints, each with original art, a concise life, and an original prayer - Search by need or by name, and browse the year by feast day - Light a candle, with an intention if you have one - Add cards of your own - a personal patron, a grandparent, someone you remember - with a photo, a story, a prayer, and a day of their own - Keep favorites, and write a personal prayer for any saint - Share a saint as a card image - Ask Siri for the saint of the day QUIET BY DESIGN No account. No feed. No advertising. No streaks and nothing to keep up with. Your prayers, candles, and cards stay on your device - Saintify collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere. Artwork by Gary Amaro. Made with Craig Mieritz, Anna Mieritz, Fiel Valdez, and Kaolin Fire.
