About Simply Orthodox
Simply Orthodox brings the rhythm of Holy Orthodox life into one quiet, beautiful place. Daily prayers, the fasts and feasts, the lives of the saints, the Holy Scriptures, and a community to pray alongside. Whether you are a lifelong Orthodox Christian, a catechumen preparing for the Church, or simply exploring the ancient faith, Simply Orthodox is a gentle companion for every day. DAILY READINGS & THE CALENDAR Wake to the day's Scripture — the Epistle and Gospel — with the saints commemorated, the fast of the day, and a word to carry with you. Follow the full liturgical calendar of the Orthodox Church. THE HOLY BIBLE, OFFLINE Read the Scriptures anytime, with or without a connection. Search any passage and adjust the text size for comfortable reading, wherever you are. A PRAYER BOOK FOR YOUR RULE OF LIFE Morning, evening, and Communion prayers, always in your pocket. Build your own rule of life, enter a focused Prayer Mode to keep time, count the Jesus Prayer on a digital prayer rope (komboskini), or pray it slowly with your breath. THE LIVES OF THE SAINTS Meet the men and women who ran the race before us — their lives, their struggles, and their witness — day by day through the year. A COMMUNITY IN PRAYER Share your prayer requests and lift up one another. No one prays alone. ASK, AND LEARN A faithful AI assistant answers your questions about the faith, the readings, the feasts, and the saints — rooted in the Orthodox Tradition — so you always have a place to turn. Simply Orthodox is free to use, with an optional premium subscription that opens the full Orthodox calendar, the complete prayers and fasting guide, the prayer rope and breath prayer, unlimited questions, and more.
