About

Vita Norma

Read full description

Vita Norma is a private, offline companion for keeping a personal rule of life — the small daily fidelities that the saints have always shown are the path to holiness. Open the app each morning and you find your day already laid out: a quiet checklist of the practices you keep — morning offering, Mass, mental prayer, spiritual reading, the Gospel, the Angelus, the Rosary, examen, the three Hail Marys before sleep. Mark what you have done. Note what is on your heart. Vita Norma was conceived as an instrument of contemplation, not a tracker of performance. There are no streaks designed to shame, no leaderboards, no notifications shouting at you. Reminders, when you enable them, show only a discreet hint on the lock screen — never the name of the prayer itself. Above all: nothing leaves your device. No accounts. No servers. No analytics. No tracking. Your spiritual life is between you and God alone. Free forever. Free of advertising. Free of in-app purchases. This is the developer's offering. Features • Twelve traditional daily devotions preloaded • Weekly view with reflection • Local reminders with discreet lock-screen hints • Liturgical accent color that shifts subtly across the year • Latin/English/Portuguese typography throughout • Backup and restore — to Files, iCloud Drive, or wherever you choose This is a personal devotional aid. It does not substitute for spiritual direction, the sacraments, or the Magisterium of the Church. Soli Deo Gloria.
