Part meditative, part social, Vineyard is a simple sanctuary for virtuous content, conversation, and contemplation, centered on balance, not binge. Vineyard exists not only to help you grow in virtue with others, but to connect you to a network of vetted virtue makers. Creators on Vineyard earn every time you view their inspiring articles—so they can continue to bear more fruit for you, and for our culture. On Vineyard, you can: - Discover and follow vetted virtue makers bearing Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, and support them just by viewing their works. - Receive daily bite-sized feeds (Harvests) prepared specifically for you. - Unlock your daily harvests with a brief breathing prayer unique to each day. - Be reminded to put your phone down at regular intervals. You should be spending more time with people than with your apps—including this one. - Participate in conversations as edifying as the content itself. Uncharitable dialog is monitored and removed to keep things wholesome. - Listen on the go. Convert any article to a podcast and put your phone away for fewer distractions. - Be inspired by fellow virtue seekers. See who others are following and which articles they’ve favorited. The world is noisy—take refuge on Vineyard.

LiveSaintly helps you build a prayer life that actually sticks, and keeps good company while you do it. Start your morning with the prayers Catholics have leaned on for centuries: the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, the Memorare, the St. Michael prayer, the Morning Offering, and Night Prayer. Set the ones you want as daily habits and check them off as you go. Add your own, and the app remembers where you left off. Every day brings a new Saint of the Day with a short, readable life story, drawn from trusted sources and told in plain language. Spend a few minutes with the men and women who lived the faith before us. Sit with Scripture and the Daily Examen, the quiet evening review that St. Ignatius taught, along with other guided meditations that help you pray instead of just scroll. Keep track of the Holy Days of Obligation for your country so a feast never sneaks up on you, with reminders you control. You do not have to do it alone. Add friends, share intentions, join groups, and pray for one another. It is a place to encourage and be encouraged, without the noise of a typical social feed. Everything in the app carries its source, from the Douay-Rheims Scriptures to the Catechism and the Church Fathers, so you always know where a prayer or lesson comes from. LiveSaintly is free to use, with an optional premium that unlocks the full library and removes limits. Come build a habit of prayer, learn the saints, and grow in the faith one day at a time.
