Rule & Rope: Orthodox Prayer

About this app

Rule & Rope is a quiet, private app for Orthodox Christians who want to keep track of the prayer rule they already have.

Define your daily rule, mark items complete, count the Jesus Prayer with a tactile prayer rope counter, and review your rhythm over time — all without an account or cloud sync.

Rule & Rope is designed to be simple, respectful, and distraction-free. It does not provide spiritual advice, generate prayers, or prescribe a rule. It simply helps you track the rule you have been given or already keep.

Features:

• Create your prayer rule
Add items such as Morning Prayers, Evening Prayers, the Jesus Prayer, prostrations, or custom rule items.

• Count the Jesus Prayer
Use a full-screen prayer rope counter (chotki / komboskini) with gentle haptic feedback. Count quietly, knot by knot.

• Track today's progress
See what is complete, what is partial, and what remains for the day.

• Review your history
Look back at your recent rhythm and see how consistently you have kept your rule.

• Gentle reminders
Set simple local reminders for morning or evening prayer.

• Private by design
No account required. No cloud sync. Your prayer-rule data stays on your device.

Everything you need for daily prayer is free. A one-time purchase — not a subscription — unlocks your full history, a 30-day summary to review with your spiritual father, and custom reminder times.

Rule & Rope is not a replacement for your priest, spiritual father, or parish guidance. It is a small tool for recording and remembering your own prayer rule.
