About this app

Officium is your pocket 1962 Roman Breviary — pray the traditional Divine Office, correct for every day, in Latin and English side by side, entirely 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
• 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 and gentle auto-scroll
• Adjustable playback speed and media-notification controls

COMPLINE FREE FOREVER
• Pray the Church's night prayer every day at no cost — no subscription required

A TRADITIONAL ORDO
• The calendar screen shows every day's celebration, class and liturgical color

HOME SCREEN WIDGET
• Today's feast at a glance, without opening the app

THREE LANGUAGES
• The complete interface — every prayer, menu and setting — in English, Brazilian Portuguese, or Latin-American Spanish; switch instantly in Settings

OFFLINE PRAYER & CALENDAR
• Works completely offline — no account, no ads, no tracking and no developer server
• All prayer and calendar content is built in
• Full TalkBack accessibility

Texts draw on public-domain editions, permissively-licensed source data, and documented project-original translations from the Latin where no suitable vernacular source exists (sources listed in the app, under Settings). The daily structure is verified against the Divinum Officium project (Rubrics 1960).

What’s new

New in 1.2.0, from closed-testing feedback:

• The Ordo opens on today, with a Today button
• The reader resumes at the exact verse you left, with a progress line
• Focused reading: the tab bar steps aside while an hour is open; Listen is a small pill until used
• Source notes read as small captions, not red rubric lines
• A missing bracket in omitted-section notes is fixed
• Listening starts at the text on screen, and the last lines no longer hide under the bar
