Daily Rule of St. Benedict app analytics for September 14

Daily Rule keeps the Rule of St. Benedict at the pace it was written for: a short portion each day, three times through the year, in the divisions Benedictine houses have used for centuries. It is a reading system rather than a copy of a book. The app tracks where you are in a 122-portion cycle, decides what today's reading is, sets it in type made for sustained reading, and stays out of the way. THE DAILY READING • The traditional thrice-yearly cycle, leap years included: 1 January to 1 May, 2 May to 31 August, 1 September to 31 December. • Follow the calendar, or read in sequence, where the next portion waits until you have finished the one before it. • The app remembers where you stopped, and will give you one quiet daily reminder that goes silent once you have read. THE TEXTS • The complete Rule in English, in Leonard J. Doyle's 1948 translation, and in the original Latin. Read either alone, or both together. • Dom Paul Delatte's Benedictine commentary, in Dom Justin McCann's translation, matched to each day's portion and a toggle away. • Verse numbers and scripture references, each of which can be turned off. • Transcribed from the 1921 printing and collated against it page by page. Corrections are listed in the app under Notes on this edition. THE TYPOGRAPHY • Set like a printed book: drop caps, small capitals, old-style figures, and a paper-and-ink palette in light and dark. • Three typefaces, including OpenDyslexic, and your own text size, independent of the system setting. • Page-turning or scrolling, whichever suits you. • A tap gives distraction-free full screen. The text never shifts or reflows under you. YOURS ALONE • No accounts, no advertising, no analytics, no tracking. • No network access of any kind. The entire text lives on your device and works with no connection at all, in a monastery or on a plane. For oblates, religious, and anyone drawn to Benedictine spirituality; a companion for lectio divina and for daily prayer.
