Seven hours · Two Examens · One day
The traditional Office.
The Ignatian Examen.
One daily rhythm.
Pray the Roman Breviary (1960 rubrics) at the seven canonical hours, anchored by St Ignatius' Examen at midday and evening. Latin and English, side by side.

Why an app
The Liturgy of the Hours only works if you remember to stop.
That's the hard part. The day pulls you forward and the hours slip past unnoticed. Septem Horae quietly taps you on the shoulder at each hour you've chosen to keep — so the rhythm actually happens.
Breviary
1960 Roman Office
Latin and English in parallel, drawn from the public-domain Divinum Officium. Adjustable type. Read or pray.
Examen
Ignatian midday & evening
A short noonday check-in and the full five-point review at night. Saved as a private journal you can return to.
Rhythm
Notifications, not nagging
Choose which hours you keep and at what times. The app stays quiet until then.
"Seven times a day I have given praise to thee."
Psalm 118 : 164
