Traditional Divine Office
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Pray the traditional Divine Office — the correct hour for every day, Latin side by side, fully offline. Compline free forever.
The traditional Roman Breviary (1962), beautifully typeset, Latin and English side by side, correct for every day — offline.
Officium gives you the Divine Office as prayed for centuries in the Roman Rite, according to the 1962 typical edition (Rubrics of 1960) — the office that accompanies the Traditional Latin Mass.
• THE CORRECT OFFICE, EVERY DAY — open the app and today's hour is ready: feasts, commemorations, seasonal antiphons and collects, all resolved for you. The complete liturgical calendar for 2026–2035 is built in.
• LATIN & ENGLISH, SIDE BY SIDE — the Clementine psalter with traditional liturgical pointing beside English, verse by verse. Modern CPDV English is the default, and the traditional Douay-Rheims remains selectable. Or read in either language alone.
• ALL EIGHT HOURS — the complete daily cursus: Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline, including Matins' full nocturns, lessons and responsories for every day.
• THE LITTLE OFFICE OF THE B.V.M. — the complete traditional lay office of Our Lady in its own tab: the same eight hours in miniature, with its seasonal antiphons and the Annunciation propers, verified day by day for 2026–2035.
• LISTEN TO THE LITTLE OFFICE — every hour of the Little Office read aloud by a calm, steady voice, fully offline: verse-by-verse read-along highlighting, gentle auto-scroll, adjustable playback speed, and lock-screen controls.
• COMPLINE FREE FOREVER — pray the Church's night prayer every day at no cost.
• A TRADITIONAL ORDO — the calendar screen shows every day's celebration, class and liturgical color.
• HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS — today's feast at a glance.
• OFFLINE PRAYER & CALENDAR — no account, no ads, no tracking and no developer server. All prayer and calendar content is built in.
Texts are drawn from public-domain editions (sources listed in the app). The daily structure is verified against the Divinum Officium project (Rubrics 1960).

Reading improvements, from a reader's feedback:
• Every psalm is headed by its number, and every verse is numbered as in a printed breviary.
• Canticles carry their scripture reference; readings, collects, and hymns are labeled correctly.
• Choose your psalter at first launch — Traditional (Douay-Rheims) or Modern English — the same verse shown in both, so you can choose by ear.
• Text corrections throughout the Portuguese and Spanish psalters.
