- 📦Daily Rule of St. Benedict updated to version 0.2.13Corrections to the Latin. Two phrases of the Rule's Latin quoted in the commentary, Non injuriosus and prostratus jaceat, are now in italics like the rest.

- 📦Daily Rule of St. Benedict updated to version 0.2.12Verse quoted in the commentary is now set as verse: all the Latin in italics, with its source named beneath each quotation that has one, and every quotation laid out as a block, as in the 1921 edition, and kept whole on one page when pages turn.

- 📦Daily Rule of St. Benedict updated to version 0.2.10The marks that show where a quotation has been shortened are now set the way a modern book sets them: a single mark instead of spaced dots. Where only a few words of the Rule are quoted, a full stop that closed nothing goes with them.
"To-day" and "to-morrow" are spelled as one word, three stray dashes are gone, and four scripture references give chapter and verse the way the rest of the edition does.… more - 🆕Daily Rule of St. Benedict first spotted by AppInsider#71 in Top Paid · All Apps · Netherlands
- 📦Daily Rule of St. Benedict version 0.2.9A scripture reference tucked inside a longer note now reads as quiet apparatus like every other citation, and hides with them when you turn citations off.

Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About Daily Rule of St. Benedict
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.
