Candle — Orthodox Companion
Prayers, Bible, Calendar, AI
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Candle is a quiet place for your spiritual life — an Orthodox Christian companion for every day.
PRAYER BOOK
Morning and evening prayers, prayers before Holy Communion, and a personal prayer rule assembled for you with the help of AI. Read at your own pace with a timer, or listen.
BIBLE
The complete Bible in the World English Bible translation — with search, bookmarks, notes, reading progress and a daily Gospel reading. Russian Synodal and Church Slavonic translations are also included.
ORTHODOX ASSISTANT
Ask questions about faith, feasts, fasting and the spiritual life. Answers are grounded in Orthodox teaching and the church calendar — with exact dates of feasts and fasts.
ORTHODOX CALENDAR
Feasts, fasts and saints' days at a glance, following the Russian Orthodox (Julian) calendar.
YOUR PATH
Daily spiritual practices and habits, a mood journal, streaks and gentle reminders that help prayer become a rhythm of life.
AUDIO
Orthodox chants and sung prayers from the choir of the Valaam Monastery.
Candle is completely free: no ads, no subscriptions. Your journal and personal data stay on your device.
This release is all about fixes.
• Bible — copy several verses at once, bookmark a whole passage as one note, and long book names no longer overflow the header. Fixed audio on the final chapters of a book.
• Diary — an entry now opens for reading: scroll freely, and the keyboard appears only when you tap Edit. Done no longer creates duplicates.
• Audio — the app icon now appears on your lock screen, two sounds can no longer play at once, and interrupted downloads are no longer treated as complete.
• Keyboard and layout — the chat input sits right above the keyboard, diary tags scroll again, and back arrows are aligned.
• Streaks and lives now count correctly.
Thank you for the reports — nearly everything here came from you.
