NovenlyCatholic novena app
No subscription · No account · No Wi-Fi needed
Novenly is an Android app that helps you pray a traditional novena from Day 1 to Day 9. Pick a saint, write your intention and choose a time. It reminds you each day and keeps your place.
Why novena apps let people down
"Pay to pray? The saints would be appalled."
"Don't work without WiFi... I can't pray without WiFi?!"
"It logs me out every time... my prayer reminders don't show up"
"Suddenly I stopped receiving notifications"
"No search engine that allows one to put a Saint's name"
"Font is too small and can't be enlarged"
Novenly opens every novena for free, offline, with no account
Everything you need to finish a novena
Pick one, get reminded, say Amen

FAQ
Are all the novenas really free?
Yes. All 24 novenas are open from the start with no subscription and nothing locked. The app is supported by ads.
Can I pray without internet?
Yes. The prayers are inside the app, so after install they open without Wi-Fi.
What happens if I miss a day?
Next time you open it you can continue where you left off or restart from Day 1. Tradition says to start again, but the choice is yours.
Can I pray more than one novena at a time?
Yes. Each novena keeps its own progress and its own reminder time.
When should I start to finish before a feast day?
On a novena's page, choose "Before the feast" and Novenly sets the start date so Day 9 is the eve of the feast.
Can anyone see my intention?
No. There is no account, and intentions and progress are saved only on your phone. An invite is only sent if you share it yourself.
Are these official liturgical texts?
No. The prayers are written by Novenly in the spirit of traditional Catholic devotions. They are not official liturgical texts.
Can I pray to a saint who is not listed?
Yes. Use "Create your own novena" to write your own prayer and choose 3, 5, 7, 9, 30 or 54 days.
