What it is
A novena is nine days of prayer for one intention. Catholics have prayed them for centuries, and the hard part has never been finding the words. It is remembering on day four.
Novena gives you the full text of each novena, keeps your place, and, if you want one, sends a gentle daily reminder at a time you choose. If you miss a day, your progress stays where it was. There are no streaks to break.
What to expect
Your intentions stay on your phone.
Your intentions, your progress and your reminder times are stored only on your device. There is no account, no server of our own, no analytics and no advertising.
It works offline.
Every novena you can read is already on your phone. Airplane mode is fine.
Every prayer shows its source.
Tap Sources & attribution on any novena to see where its text comes from.
No subscription, ever.
Five novenas are free, with every feature. The rest of the catalog is unlocked with a one-time purchase through Google Play. Nothing renews.

Inside the app
Five languages
The app's interface and its novenas are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian and Filipino. Each language has its own catalog of 23 novenas, and the five free novenas differ slightly from one language to another.
The trade-off
Because nothing is stored anywhere but your phone, nothing can be restored if you delete the app. Your purchases come back through Restore Purchases, but your intentions and history do not. There is no backup and no sync, by design.
Pray it with reminders
The app keeps your place and, if you like, reminds you once a day for all nine days.
