49 Hours

Ancient fixed-hour prayer, redesigned for the rhythms of modern life. Seven offices a day, short or full, psalm-centered, and always where you left off.

49 Hours brings The Neighborhood Book of Common Prayer to iOS, making the ancient practice of fixed-hour prayer accessible in the middle of an ordinary day.

Seven times a day, for a few minutes or thirty, you pause. You read a psalm, a prayer, a brief reflection. You return to what you were doing with a little more of yourself gathered.

THE SEVEN HOURS • The Midnight Hour (Vigils) — quiet attentiveness in the dark, for night owls and early risers • The First Hour (Lauds) — morning praise as the day begins • The Third Hour (Terce) — a brief pause mid-morning • The Sixth Hour (Sext) — noon, a breath at the peak of the day • The Ninth Hour (None) — afternoon perseverance • The Evening Hour (Vespers) — thanksgiving at day's end • The Bedtime Hour (Compline) — confession and trust before sleep

TWO WAYS TO PRAY • Short Office (5 minutes) — essential prayers and a single psalm • Full Office (30 minutes) — the complete order, all assigned psalms Or read the day's psalms on their own.

DESIGNED FOR A REAL LIFE • Your place is preserved across backgrounding; pick up exactly where you left off • A weekly tracker shows which offices you've prayed • Customizable notification times for each hour • Light, dark, and automatic appearance • Typography drawn from the Garamond family, sized for comfortable reading

ROOTED IN TRADITION The Neighborhood Book of Common Prayer revives a practice that is thousands of years old, grounded in the Jewish Psalter ("Seven times a day do I praise you," Psalm 119:164) and sustained through centuries of Christian monastic life. 49 Hours offers that inheritance in a form you can carry in your pocket.
