Make room for God in your day with the Examen, Rosary, Gospel and saints. Ignis is a Catholic prayer companion for iPhone and iPad, with gentle guidance when you need it and space for your own words. BEGIN WITH A FEW QUIET MINUTES Start the morning with prayer, spend time with the Gospel, or close the day with the five-step Ignatian Examen. Clear introductions help you choose a prayer and begin. Writing is optional. PRAY THE ROSARY AT YOUR PACE Follow the mysteries with Scripture, sacred art and guided beads. Ignis remembers your mystery and bead when you need to pause. RETURN TO YOUR PRAYER Your daily prayer drafts save as you write. Continue an unfinished prayer or revisit completed sessions in History. Search your prayers and notes, with earlier entries kept as the days move on. Choose an optional daily reminder for the Examen, Morning Prayer or Gospel. FOLLOW A GUIDED PATHWAY Seven journeys offer a place to begin and a next step when you are ready: • The Spiritual Exercises — a 30-day Ignatian retreat in daily life. • Magnifica Humanitas — 30 days of spiritual reading and prayer. • Come, Follow Me — 14 days of Gospel encounters with Jesus. • With Mary, Beholding Christ — 20 days through the Rosary mysteries. • Teach Me to Pray — 21 days of prayer through the Psalms. • God in the Ordinary — 21 days with attributed readings from St Josemaría. • Poor and Free — 21 days of Franciscan prayer with St Francis. Pathways move forward when you complete a day. Pause and return without losing your journey or notes. LIVE THE LITURGICAL YEAR Discover the day's celebration and saints, with biographies, prayers and novenas. Choose from Catholic spiritual traditions, regional and religious-order calendars, and colour palettes. KEEP YOUR PRAYER PERSONAL No account is required. Your reflections, drafts and prayer history are stored on your device, with no advertising or third-party analytics SDK. Ignis does not sync your journal to an account or cloud service. The Gospel encounter, Rosary, Psalms, God in the Ordinary and Poor and Free pathways include their readings and artwork for offline prayer. Today's live Gospel and reflection require an internet connection; historical Scripture may also use online services. The Privacy Policy explains these connections. Free to use on iPhone and iPad. Ignis is an independent Catholic prayer app, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Vatican, dioceses, Opus Dei or religious orders.
