The Orthodox Christian Bible App
A complete free daily companion for Orthodox Christians, built for prayer, Scripture, and the spiritual life. Full Bible, Orthodox calendar, daily prayers, and more.
The Orthodoxy app is a free Orthodox Christian Bible app for iPhone and iPad, built as a complete daily companion for the Eastern Orthodox faith. Whether you are a cradle Orthodox Christian, a catechumen preparing for reception into the Church, or someone exploring the ancient Christian tradition for the first time, the app gives you everything you need for daily prayer, Scripture reading, and spiritual formation in one place.
The app brings together the full Bible with bookmarks and search, the complete Orthodox prayer cycle including Morning and Evening Prayers, a dynamic Orthodox calendar that automatically calculates Pascha every year, daily readings from the Orthodox Church in America, the Church Fathers library, and home screen widgets that display a new verse of the day every morning. It is free to download and free to use, with an optional subscription to support development.
Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets
Home screen and lock screen widgets display a new Orthodox Bible verse every day. Tap the widget to open directly to the verse of the day inside the app. A simple, beautiful way to keep Scripture present throughout your day, perfect for cradle Orthodox Christians, catechumens, and anyone drawn to the ancient Christian faith.
Daily Prayer Notifications
Daily notifications for Morning Prayers, Evening Prayers, and the Daily Readings open directly into prayer at the right moment. Let the app call you to prayer the way the church bell once did.
Full Orthodox Daily Prayer Library
The complete Orthodox prayer library is included at no cost: Morning Prayers, Evening Prayers, Liturgical Hymns, the Trisagion, Prayers for the Departed, Prayers Before and After Holy Communion, and more. Every prayer an Orthodox Christian needs through the day is here, organized clearly and easy to follow.
Daily Scripture Readings from the OCA
Daily Scripture readings are sourced directly from the Orthodox Church in America, keeping you aligned with the liturgical rhythm of the Church every day of the year. The readings follow the Orthodox lectionary so you are always reading alongside the rest of the Church.
Daily Bible Verse
A fresh verse of the day greets you every morning, synced to your home screen and lock screen widgets. Open the app to read the verse in context, save it, or share it.
