Myrosa (My Rosa) draws you closer to God through the rosary — with the saints, the people you love, and a worldwide communion of voices praying alongside you. PRAY WITH THE WORLD Open the map and see where the world is praying. Every published voice is a candle, lit at the city it prays from. Tap one — Dublin, Mexico City, Lisbon — preview a real recorded rosary, and add it to your library with a tap. Then pray led by that voice, decade by decade: together, even when you're apart. Wander the map, or browse Around the World to find a voice to pray with tonight. LIGHT YOUR OWN CANDLE Record your own rosary and choose where you pray from. Your voice joins the map as a candle of its own — ready for someone across the world to pray alongside. Your place shows only as a city, never your exact location. DECADE BY DECADE, WITH THE SAINTS Choose a saint to lead each rosary, or to follow your lead. In Listening, voices in English and Spanish carry the prayers aloud. Every other mode — Read, Speak, I Lead, I Follow — keeps the saint in spirit while you pray with the beads, your voice, or your turn alongside theirs. Heard or held in spirit, every bead carries a witness. A FAMILY ROSARY, ANYWHERE Start a rosary together over SharePlay and your family joins from any iPhone. Share intentions before you begin, see who's with you, and pray the same decade at the same moment from anywhere. EVERY INTENTION, KEPT Myrosa holds the intentions you carry — the names, the worries, the hopes you've held the longest — in a private journal, in your own words. "For Mom's surgery on Friday." "Grateful Dad called this morning." Your intentions stay on your device — yours to keep, or to opt in and share when you pray together over SharePlay. WHY I PRAY A few words about why you pray, shared with your family when you pray together. A RHYTHM TO YOUR PRACTICE Rosaries prayed, days of prayer, your current streak, and every intention you've held — a faithful record of how often you come back to the beads. A ROSTER OF COMPANIONS A roster of companions spanning the Church — Mary, the apostles, saints across the centuries, and the archangels — each with their own portrait drawn in warm morning light, and each on the map at the place they once called home. DESIGN YOUR ROSARY Studio lets you shape the rosary in your hands — choose the package, the medal, the cross, and the background that centers you. The whole library is free. WHAT'S INCLUDED The full rosary in English and Spanish, across every prayer mode. The map of voices — every voice free to preview, add, and pray along with — and your own to record and publish. The wider roster of saints and companions to pray with in spirit. Every Studio design and every avatar border. SharePlay with family from any iPhone. A private intentions journal. PATRON Everything in Myrosa is free. Patron is a quiet way to support the work: a monthly, yearly, or lifetime gift in Settings. It unlocks nothing, because nothing is locked. A gift, not a gate. Your support helps bring new voices, saints, and languages to everyone on the map. BY DESIGN No ads. Local-first on your device — your intentions and recordings stay with you. On the map, your place is only ever a city, never an exact location. SharePlay only for prayer with family. Privacy isn't a setting — it's how Myrosa works. PATRON SUBSCRIPTIONS Patron is offered as a Monthly subscription, a Yearly subscription, or a Lifetime purchase. Monthly and Yearly renew automatically and charge your Apple ID at confirmation; renewal happens within twenty-four hours before each period ends. Turn renewal off any time in your Apple ID settings. Lifetime is a single purchase — no recurring charges. Privacy Policy: https://www.myrosa.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
