Salve

Salve keeps your place in the Rosary so you can keep the prayer โ€” even with your eyes closed. Tap once per prayer and a digital strand of beads moves with you: every Hail Mary, every Our Father, every decade counted for you. A gentle haptic language tells your thumb where you are โ€” one light tick for a Hail Mary, a firm double knock for an Our Father, a rising triple when the decade is done โ€” so you never have to look at the screen to know. PRAY WITHOUT LOOKING โ€ข Dim Mode โ€” the screen falls to true black; tap anywhere to count a bead, swipe back if you lose your place โ€ข Pocket Mode (Pro) โ€” a tap on the phone body counts a bead, detected through fabric; pray on a walk with the phone in your pocket โ€ข The screen stays awake while you pray, and the haptics stay gentle ALL THE MYSTERIES โ€ข Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous โ€” with the traditional day-of-week schedule chosen for you โ€ข A short reflection, scripture reference and the fruit of each mystery, if you want them โ€ข Just the prayers, if you don't EVERY PRAYER, IN FULL The Sign of the Cross, Apostles' Creed, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Fatima Prayer, Hail Holy Queen and the closing prayer โ€” every word on screen until the day you notice you're not reading anymore. A gentle step-by-step guide teaches the whole Rosary if you're new or returning. A PLAN THAT FITS YOUR DAY A short quiz shapes your daily rhythm โ€” one decade (about 4 minutes) or the full Rosary โ€” with a single quiet reminder at the moment you actually have. A streak and a home-screen widget keep the habit visible. ALSO INSIDE โ€ข The Divine Mercy Chaplet, bead by bead โ€ข An intentions journal โ€” who and what you carry, and prayers answered โ€ข Your full prayer history, and a home-screen widget FREE, IN FULL Salve is free. Every mystery, every prayer, both eyes-free modes, the chaplet, the journal and the widget โ€” no subscription, no purchases, no ads, no locked features. The Rosary was given away; so is this. Salve is private by design: no account, no analytics, nothing leaves your phone.
