The Traditional Roman Breviary is one of the Church's greatest treasures — but keeping your place across six ribbons, multiple volumes, and a changing liturgical calendar can be a real challenge. Divine Office Tracker was built to solve exactly that. Whether you pray all eight hours or simply Lauds and Vespers, this app helps you stay consistent, find your pages, and cultivate a daily rhythm of prayer. TRACK YOUR HOURS Mark each canonical hour complete as you pray it — Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, and Compline. A progress bar shows how far you've come today, and the app resets cleanly each morning. REMEMBER YOUR PAGES Save the exact page numbers for each hour by liturgical day. Assign one of six ribbon colors — Red, Yellow, Purple, Black, White, or Green — to each page slot, matching the ribbons in your breviary. The app remembers where each ribbon goes, so tomorrow's Office is already set up before you close the book. LITURGICAL CALENDAR AWARENESS Divine Office Tracker knows where you are in the liturgical year — Advent, Christmastide, Lent, Paschaltide, and all the seasons between. Pages saved for a given liturgical day are automatically recalled the following year. BUILD THE HABIT A daily streak tracks your faithfulness to the Office. Earn a freeze every seven consecutive days of prayer — up to three — to protect your streak when life intervenes. Missing one day shouldn't undo weeks of faithful effort. COMMON PRAYERS A built-in library includes the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Apostles' Creed, Deus in Adjutorium, Prayer to St. Michael, Prayer Before the Divine Office, Prayer After the Divine Office, and more — all formatted for reading aloud, phrase by phrase. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Your progress, pages, and ribbon assignments sync across all your devices via iCloud, so your Breviary is always ready whether you're at home, traveling, or in the pew. FEATURES • Eight canonical hours with daily progress tracking • Page numbers saved per liturgical day with ribbon color assignments • Streak tracking with freeze protection • iCloud sync via CloudKit • Latin/English display toggle • Daily reminder notification • Support for 3-volume, 1-volume, and custom breviary editions • Export your saved page data Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam.
