A saint for every day of the year — a brief account of who they were and what they are remembered for, with a few questions to carry into the day. Daily Saint Reflections follows the Catholic liturgical calendar. Each entry takes a few quiet minutes. TODAY'S SAINT, FREE Open the app any day and read the saint being remembered. Mark the days you have reflected, and share a saint with someone. Add the widget for the day's saint on your home screen, and set one gentle reminder at a time that suits you — no badges, no streaks, nothing to keep up with. Browse and search the whole calendar by name, patronage or era. PREMIUM • Read any of the 366 saints, not only today's. • A private reflection journal — write alongside each saint, and keep what you write. Journal entries are dated and kept year after year, so next August you can read what you wrote this August, beside the same feast. That is the part that grows: your own words, gathering against a calendar that comes back around. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ACCOUNT. No advertising. No analytics. No third-party software of any kind. Nothing to sign up for and nothing to create. Your journal stays on your device — we cannot read it, because it never leaves. Premium is available monthly or annually. The annual plan includes a two-week free trial. Privacy Policy: https://dailysaintreflections.com/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
