Taksa is a Chaldean Catholic liturgical companion that brings the prayers, hymns, and sacred rites of one of the world's oldest living Christian traditions into a modern, accessible format.
The app serves as a comprehensive resource for the liturgical and devotional life of the Chaldean Church. It includes daily prayers (Slotha), the Order of the Mass and liturgical rites (Taksa), chants and hymns (Qaleh) with recorded audio, sacramental texts, devotional services, and resources for learning the Aramaic alphabet.
Designed to serve both native speakers and those seeking to reconnect with their heritage, Taksa provides content in English, Sureth, and Arabic, with support for proper right-to-left text rendering. Whether used by clergy, seminarians, lectors, subdeacons, or the faithful, the app makes the Church's liturgical treasures readily accessible for prayer, study, and participation.
Additional features include a liturgical calendar aligned with the Chaldean Church's seasons and observances, as well as a daily Chaldean word feature to encourage ongoing language and faith formation.
Built with simplicity and reverence in mind, Taksa is designed to feel less like a utility and more like a digital prayer book—providing a focused and distraction-free experience for personal devotion and communal worship.
Taksa is an independent project offered free of charge, with no paywalls or restricted content. Its mission is to preserve, promote, and share the sacred liturgical heritage of the Chaldean Catholic Church for current and future generations.
I used to find the app hard to use before but apparently they updated it two weeks ago and I’m a huge fan. If I could ask for one update, it would be to have the Chaldean readings be written out phonetically in English. Maybe each week or month, a new update is dropped where we can read along to our Chaldean language. Even for prayers, this would be helpful because I can’t read in the Aramaic alphabet yet, but I can at least follow along in English. Kind of like thisOur Father Prayer:Baban Dee-le Bish-ma-ya (Our Father)Broken down line by line with translations. If this was also done for the prayers, for the daily mass readings, the rosary prayers and readings each day to follow along, and etc. I know this will take awhile to do but if we can get a group of people to do this, it’ll be easier. I feel like doing this, people will be able to learn Chaldean easier, especially for younger generation like me. I’m 29 and want to keep this culture alive. Especially since we must do our best to keep the Aramaic language alive as best as we can. God Bless you all! Great step in the right direction
Great App!

Thank you very much for putting this together. It’s so neat and organized. I also love the audio files that are included, especially those featuring the amazing voice of Mar Eprim Bede. If there is one feature I could request it would be the ability to print. There have been times where I wanted to print certain pages but unable to do so directly.

This app really makes tangible the liturgical prayers of old to our modern times. You can read and pray in English, Chaldean, Arabic, and Aramaic. There is a huge variety of hymns available in many languages that hold ancient Chaldean tones and hymns. Definitely worth a download!
