Catholic DeVice turns the moment of temptation into a moment of prayer. Mark your vice apps, the occasions of sin, the doomscrolling traps. From then on, opening one is met by the Praywall: a full-screen toll of real Catholic prayer, enforced at the OS level. Pray it and a quiet countdown must pass before Amen lights. Once complete, the app opens for a timed window. Then the wall returns. Where other app blockers only subtract by empty friction, this Catholic prayer app substitutes. Every intercepted scroll becomes a Hail Mary, a psalm, a page of Augustine. Your worst habit becomes an occasion to pray. THE PRAYWALL • OS-level interception that works offline, survives reboots, and self-heals — a persistent wall, not a dismissible nag. • The toll knows the Church's calendar: the quiet countdown lengthens on Fridays and through Lent, and Friday Penance ships as a scheduled lockout, free. • Per-app daily limits, a daily intention gate, and Time Reclaimed — honest screen time math, not vanity numbers. THE TREASURY - real prayer, by the Church's own calendar • The Daily Rosary, novenas of Divine Mercy and the Sacred Heart, the Psalms, the Desert Fathers, Padre Pio, St. Thérèse's Little Way. Choose your path and assign to morning, midday, and evening. • Never AI-generated prayers. Every text comes from Scripture, the official liturgy, the saints and Church Fathers, or traditional prayers with centuries of use. • The Hours ring the Angelus at 6, noon, and 6 — and it becomes the Regina Caeli in Eastertide, because the app knows the season. THE BOOKSHELF — a reading room in your pocket • The Holy Gospels and Psalms (Douay-Rheims), The Imitation of Christ, the Baltimore Catechisms, Butler's Lives of the Saints, Guéranger's Liturgical Year, the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia with the Summa Theologica, the Daily Missal, and Augustine's City of God among the premium titles. • Faithfully typeset on parchment: illuminated drop caps, a page you actually turn, candlelight night reading. Fully offline once downloaded. THE LITURGICAL YEAR • A stained-glass calendar, and the Proper of the Day: every feast, saint, and season in sectioned write-ups drawn verbatim from the classics. • Includes the traditional 1962 calendar — Septuagesima, Passiontide, and all. THE CLOISTER — scheduled silence • A Retreat locks your vices at once, no toll, no escape. Stay in your cell. • Recurring schedules guard work mornings, family dinners, Sundays. • And the Vow: seal your disciplines under wax, and they may be deepened but never loosened until the Vow releases the way you chose — a waiting period, an entrusted PIN, the charger… or the one way no other blocker offers: prayer. CUSTODY OF THE EYES Opt-in adult-content filtering with no toll attached — free. Protection, not a paywall. NO STREAKS, ON PURPOSE Streaks punish; we removed them. Days of Fidelity only accumulates. A missed day never resets what grace has built. Medals rest in the Reliquary. Celebrations are quiet. HONEST PRIVACY Which apps you open is detected on your device and never sent to our servers. Your prayer progress syncs to your account only if you create one. Anonymous analytics, no ads, never sold. FREE FOREVER: two vice apps on the Praywall, the full toll loop offline, Retreats and Friday Penance, free devotional paths and books, the Liturgical Year and Proper of the Day, Custody of the Eyes. Premium adds unlimited vice apps, recurring Cloister schedules, the Vow, and the premium library. Catholic DeVice is discipline you choose for your own phone — not a parental-control tool. Enter the cathedral. Let the wall stand between you and the scroll. Terms of Use: https://catholicdevice.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://catholicdevice.com/privacy
