Twaf

Twaf is a daily companion for the Ge'ez calendar and the Orthodox Tewahedo tradition — for the Ethiopian and Eritrean diaspora, and for anyone walking this path of fasting and prayer.

Know today's fast, automatically. Great Lent, Nineveh, Advent, Wednesdays and Fridays, and every named fast and feast — computed live from the Ge'ez calendar and Orthodox Easter, never a manual update.

See the whole year on one wheel. Every fast and feast laid out on a circular Year Wheel — tap any point to explore it.

Pray by candlelight. Open any prayer and a real twaf lights itself in the dark, its glow revealing your prayer as you read — morning, midday, and evening.

Meet the saints woven into your calendar. Short, sourced profiles tied to their actual feast days, computed the same way the rest of the calendar is.

Read Scripture, prepare for confession, and learn the Fasting Guide — a quiet reference for the "why," not just the "when." Find a church, anywhere. A directory of Ethiopian and Eritrean congregations — search by city, or use your location.

Plan a wedding with confidence. Pick a year and see exactly which Saturdays and Sundays fall outside every fasting period.

Fully trilingual throughout — English, tigrigna, and amharic — switch anytime.

Twaf works entirely offline. There are no accounts, no backend, and nothing you enter — your fasting preference, saved passages, private confession notes — is ever sent anywhere. Everything stays on your own device.

Exact dates are computed automatically and treated as reliable, but not infallible — please confirm anything observance-critical with your parish priest.
