Albany, New York Aug 31, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Catholic Daily today announced the official launch of Catholic Daily: Bible & Saints, an iOS app designed to help Catholics in the United States and around the world keep Scripture, the liturgical calendar, and daily prayer visible throughout everyday digital life.
Available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Catholic Daily brings the daily Gospel, liturgical calendar, Saint and Scripture quotes, prayer reminders, and configurable widgets directly to the iPhone Home Screen and Lock Screen.
Rather than requiring users to open an app each time they want to reconnect with their faith, Catholic Daily places Catholic content naturally throughout the iPhone experience. Users can see Scripture, daily Gospel readings, liturgical information, and prayer reminders as part of their normal routine.
The app also introduces Prayer Focus, a feature built around Apple's Screen Time controls. During a scheduled Sacred moment, users can temporarily pause selected distracting apps, such as social media or games, helping create a quieter environment for prayer. The selected apps remain restricted during the prayer session until the user completes the moment by tapping “I prayed.”
"Our mission with Catholic Daily is to keep faith visible throughout the day," said Khang Dinh, developer of Catholic Daily. "Phones are something most of us look at many times every day. I wanted to explore how those same devices could also become small reminders to pray, reflect, and reconnect with God instead of only being a source of distraction."
