Sheaf
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sheaf is a Catholic app with songs of its own and quizzes that start easy and get hard. Easy asks you to finish the Hail Mary. Hard asks which council the Catechism quotes on the consecration of the bread and wine. There is also a page to read every morning, and two paths of thirty lessons each: one for you, and one to work through together with your children. THE SONGS Every song was made for Sheaf. There are three artists, each with a sound and a page of their own. Porchlight Psalm sings gospel soul about ordinary days: in Open Hands a grocery bag splits at the door and the oranges roll, and Room for More starts with six bent chairs and a table for four. Neon Nave is slap bass, a Rhodes and a gospel choir behind one lead. Compline Coast plays West Coast soft rock at the hour of Vespers, with the sanctuary lamp burning red. The words are on screen, so you can sing along. With Sheaf Pro, songs download to your phone and keep playing in the car when the signal drops. THE QUIZZES There are three: the prayers you know by heart, the Mass part by part, and where things are written in Scripture. Each has sixty questions, twenty at every level. Medium asks why. On Hard, one question wants the name of the second-century writer the Catechism quotes on the Mass, and the emperor he wrote to. Every answer comes with a short explanation. Questions you have not seen yet come first, so a second round brings new ones. THE MORNING PAGE A verse, a short reflection and a prayer, written for that day and following the Church's year. On All Saints the verse is the great multitude from Revelation that no one could count. On Christ the King it is Pilate asking, "Are you a king then?" The morning page is free for everybody, every day, and is never part of the subscription. THE PATHS Two paths through the Creed, the sacraments, the moral life and prayer, thirty lessons each. The one for you gives the reasons the Church gives, says the hard teachings plainly, and ends every lesson with five questions. The other is written to be done together with your children and ends with three. YOUR STREAK Sheaf keeps count of the days you read, the rounds you play and the lessons you finish. Prayer and listening earn no points, on purpose. You don't need an account, and anything you write stays on your phone. ABOUT THE CATALOGUE Sheaf's songs, reflections, quiz questions and lessons are generated with AI and every item is read by a person before it is published. The artists named on the songs are voices made with AI, not people, and none is modelled on a real singer. Scripture is quoted from public-domain translations and never rewritten. Sheaf carries no ecclesiastical endorsement and does not claim one; human review is quality assurance and nothing more. WHAT IS FREE, AND WHAT IS NOT Free: a page every morning, and whole songs, quizzes and lessons — not samples of them. Sheaf Pro opens the rest of the library: every song, every quiz, and both paths. Sheaf Pro is an auto-renewing subscription with a 14-day free trial. • Monthly — EUR 5.99 per month • Yearly — EUR 39.99 per year Prices are shown in your own currency before you buy and may differ by region.

Amaré
Read full descriptionHide full description
Amaré is the app for a couple to grow together in love and in faith. Five minutes a day, for two. EVERY DAY, A QUESTION THAT OPENS TOGETHER A verse and a question chosen for your stage: dating, engaged, married or parents. Each of you answers on your own, and neither can read the other's answer until you have both answered. The app is not merely hiding it: the server does not hand it over before then. When both answers open at once, the conversation starts. "I PRAYED FOR YOU", IN ONE TAP Share what you carry in your heart. One tap tells your partner you just prayed for it. What God answers is kept as a testimony of you both. A STREAK THAT FORGIVES It counts the days you walk together. If one day you cannot, you do not lose what you built: the streak carries on with grace, without guilt. TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER A weekly quiz, "How well do you know me?": each answers for themselves and guesses the other, and the result opens when you both finish. Quick games: "Which of us?" and "Would you rather?", with cards you swipe. Brave conversations about money, family, children and faith, with a prayer to close. Couple quizzes: how you receive love, and how you draw close to God. SEVEN-DAY CHALLENGES Challenges to do together: one proposes, the other accepts. Seven days within ten, so real life fits. Seasonal ones too, for Advent and Holy Week. YOUR STORY, KEPT Everything you reveal to each other stays in "Our story". If you both turn it on, Amaré can write you a summary of your month, once a month. THREE LANGUAGES, ONE CONVERSATION Each of you reads in your own language, Spanish, English or Portuguese, in the same thread. The Bible version is chosen per person too. YOUR INTIMACY IS NOT OUR BUSINESS We do not sell data and we show no ads. What you write is seen by the two of you. You can delete your account and everything you wrote from the app, whenever you want. ONE SUBSCRIPTION, TWO ACCOUNTS One of you activates it and you are both covered, whoever pays. It starts with a free trial; if you do not cancel before it ends, it becomes a subscription. It renews on its own until you cancel it in your App Store account settings. Amaré does not replace pastoral counseling or couples therapy. Privacy policy: https://amare-app.com/en/privacy Terms of use: https://amare-app.com/en/terms
