About this app

Synaxis is a calm, reverent companion for the Orthodox Christian day — built by Orthodox, for Orthodox. No ads. No tracking. Pay once, if ever.

Every morning, know exactly where you stand: today's fast, the feast or saint commemorated, the readings appointed, and the prayers to keep. Synaxis gets the fasting calendar right — the thing most apps get wrong — for both the New (Revised Julian) and Old (Julian) calendars.

THE DAILY FAST, DONE RIGHT
• Today's fasting rule at a glance — strict, wine and oil, fish, dairy, or fast-free — and the reason why
• The full fasting and feast calendar: Great Lent, Holy Week, Pascha, and the Apostles', Dormition and Nativity fasts; Wednesdays and Fridays; fast-free weeks
• Pascha computed by the traditional Paschalion, with the whole movable cycle years ahead
• A month view in the liturgical colour of each day, so the shape of the season is visible at a glance

THE SAINTS OF EVERY DAY
• Who the Church commemorates today, with a life for every day of the year
• Search any name to find its patron saint and when the Church keeps the feast
• Save your family's name-days and see when each one falls — free for everyone on Android

DAILY READINGS
• The appointed Epistle and Gospel for the day, from the Orthodox lectionary
• Read in reverent, traditional English

PRAYERS AND THE JESUS PRAYER
• The daily prayer rule in reverent, traditional English (public-domain texts)
• Morning and evening prayers, the Trisagion, the Creed — without the Filioque
• A digital prayer rope (chotki) for the Jesus Prayer, with your count kept on your device

CHOOSE YOUR TRADITION
• New Calendar (Greek, Antiochian) or Old Calendar (Russian, OCA) — your own calendar, always free
• Change it any time; the whole app re-reckons around your choice

COMPLETELY OFFLINE, COMPLETELY PRIVATE
Everything is computed on your device. There is no account, no sign-in, and no network request for your content. Synaxis collects no data, contains no analytics, no advertising, and no trackers of any kind. Your jurisdiction, your prayer counts, your name-days — all of it stays on your phone.

ALWAYS FREE
The fast, the calendar, the saints, the daily readings, the prayers, the prayer rope and your family's name-days are free, forever, for everyone.

SYNAXIS PRO — one-time, no subscription
Unlock The Fasting Year: plan ahead with countdowns to every fast and feast, the four fasting seasons with this year's dates, and how far through the current fast you are. Plus Jesus-Prayer history and streaks — your current and longest streak, your total, and the days you kept the rope — and reverent accent themes for the app's chrome. Pay once; it is yours. There is no recurring charge and nothing to cancel.

A DEVOTIONAL AID — YOUR PARISH IS THE AUTHORITY
Orthodox fasting rules, feast dates and liturgical practice vary by jurisdiction and by local parish and your spiritual father's direction. Synaxis presents a careful, mainstream reckoning, but it is not an authoritative liturgical ruling and is not a substitute for your priest or parish. For how to keep the fast and observe the feasts, follow your parish and spiritual father. Prayer and scripture texts are traditional and in the public domain.

Glory to God for all things.
