Rosaria, the rosary and Bible web app

A quiet, mobile-first companion for praying the Holy Rosary and reading Scripture, at rosaria.cc.

Rosaria exists because praying the Rosary is easy to intend and hard to keep doing. It removes the small obstacles. Open it and the day's mysteries are already chosen, the prayers are in front of you, and the beads are on the screen. Nothing else is asked of you.

What it does

• Picks the mysteries for the day, so you never have to remember whether it is Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious or Luminous.
• Gives the complete prayer texts, including the Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Glory Be and the Fatima prayer.
• Keeps a simple streak, so consistency is visible without turning prayer into a scoreboard.
• Carries the whole Bible: all 73 books of the Douay-Rheims, the deuterocanonical books included.
• Reads a chapter aloud in a recorded voice, and highlights the verse being spoken as it goes.
• Offers five reading themes for Scripture, three of them animated scenes.
• Puts one of those scenes behind the whole app if you want it, with the navigation and the text taking its colours.
• Keeps your settings, the reading theme and the background among them, on every device you sign in on.
• Works offline once opened, and can be added to your home screen like an app.
• Needs no account. There is no advertising and nothing to buy.

The Bible

Rosaria carries the complete Douay-Rheims, the English translation of the Latin Vulgate, with all 73 books and the seven deuterocanonical books included. Every chapter can be read in five themes, from plain white to a moving forest, sunset or waterfall. Every chapter can also be heard: the text is recorded ahead of time, so a chapter starts speaking as soon as you tap play, and the verse being read is highlighted as it goes.

Minimal by design

There is nothing in Rosaria that is not the prayer or the reading. No feed, no notifications, no advertising, no account required, no upsell. One type family, one job per page, and the beads on the screen.

Who it is for

Anyone who wants to pray the Rosary and would like the prayers and the day's mysteries in one place. It is meant for the ordinary case: a few quiet minutes, a phone in your hand, one decade or all five.

Questions

Is Rosaria the same as the Genshin Impact character?

No. The name is shared, nothing else. Rosaria the character is a fictional figure in the game Genshin Impact. Rosaria here is a rosary web app, a small tool for Catholic prayer. If you searched for the character and landed here, this is a different thing entirely.

Does Rosaria include the Bible?

Yes. All 73 books of the Douay-Rheims are included, the deuterocanonical books among them, and any chapter can be read on screen or heard read aloud.

Do I have to install anything?

No. Rosaria is a web app: open rosaria.cc in any browser. If you would like it to behave like an app, add it to your home screen from the browser's share menu, and it opens fullscreen and works offline.

Does it cost anything?

No. Rosaria is free, there is no advertising, and no account is needed to pray. An optional account exists only if you want your streak kept across devices.

Does it work offline?

Yes, once it has been opened. Add it to your home screen and it will open without a connection.
