About

Gospelkeep

Read full description

Gospelkeep is a place to pray with the day's Gospel and keep what it stirs in you. Each day brings the assigned Gospel reading for your tradition, Catholic or Orthodox, a short word from the Church Fathers on that same passage, and room to respond in your own words. What you write is called a Keep: your prayer, saved on your device and returned to you. A rhythm, not a feed. One reading a day. No streaks, no badges, no one to perform for. A session takes about four minutes. Through the Fathers. A plain-English reflection on today's passage, grounded in one carefully chosen patristic source and always cited, never invented. Drawn from the shared inheritance of the early Church: John Chrysostom, Augustine, Bede, Gregory the Great, Ambrose, and others. Your Keep is private. Prayers are stored on your device, not on our servers. Nothing you write is sold, shown to anyone, or used to train anything. You can export everything, and you can delete your account from inside the app. Guided Rosary. Full guided audio for all four sets of mysteries, joyful, sorrowful, glorious, and luminous, with the beads tracked as you pray. Pause in the middle of a decade and it remembers where you were. Free, not behind Premium. Prayer Library. Traditional Catholic and Orthodox prayers in careful, sourced texts, for when you want to pray and cannot find the words. Related Scripture. Follow the day's Gospel into the passages it draws on, with verified references. Free and Premium. The daily Gospel, prayer, Related Scripture, and the core Guided Rosary audio are Free. Free includes one saved prayer each day and the previous fourteen days of readings. Premium adds unlimited saved prayers, spoken narration for the Gospel and the Fathers, a rolling year of history, and the expanded Prayer Library. New accounts begin with a 14-day introductory period with full access. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple account and renew automatically unless cancelled. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple settings, and restore purchases from within the app. Gospelkeep is independent. It is not an official publication of the Catholic Church, any Orthodox Church, or any diocese, parish, or ecclesial authority.
