Pray the Rosary from your Lock Screen.
Quiet Rosary keeps the Rosary on your iPhone Lock Screen: the mystery, the decade and the bead you’re on. Tap Next for the next bead, without opening the app. Your phone stays in your hand; your attention stays on prayer.
The complete Rosary is free, forever. No account needed.
Lock Screen prayer is part of Quiet Rosary Plus, an optional subscription with a free trial. Your first prayer session includes a preview.
How it works

Today’s mysteries are chosen for you by the day of the week: Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful or Glorious.
Lock your phone.
Your Rosary stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with the current mystery, decade and bead.

Privacy, in plain words
Your prayers stay in your heart, and what you write stays only on your phone. No account, no ads.
The app sends usage statistics and crash reports to Google, which works for us, including which prayers and novenas are used; you can turn this off in Settings. Only if you allow it, TikTok and Meta help us learn which video brought you here.
Your intentions never appear on the Lock Screen, in widgets or in notifications unless you choose.
If you choose Plus, the purchase is handled by Apple or Google and by our subscription provider. We ask for your consent first.
FAQ
Is the Rosary really free?
Yes. The complete Rosary, with every mystery, every prayer and the bead-by-bead guide, is free and always will be, and so are a daily reminder and the Today’s Mystery widget. Nobody should pay to pray. Quiet Rosary Plus is optional and adds conveniences such as the Lock-Screen Rosary, novenas and more widgets.
How does praying from the Lock Screen work?
On iPhone, Quiet Rosary uses a Live Activity. When you start a Rosary, it appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, showing the mystery, the decade and the bead. Tapping Next moves you forward without opening the app. The first time, your iPhone asks whether to allow Live Activities from Quiet Rosary: tap Allow. It needs iOS 17 or later, and it is part of Quiet Rosary Plus; your first prayer session includes a preview.
Does it work on Android?
Not yet. Quiet Rosary is available on the App Store for iPhone; the Android app is coming later.
Which languages?
English, Italian and Spanish. We ship a language only when every prayer in it has a documented source and has been checked.
Are the prayers official?
Quiet Rosary uses traditional prayers and records the source of every text. Quiet Rosary is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any diocese, religious order or the Holy See.
Will there be ads?
No. Quiet Rosary shows no ads, ever. We do advertise Quiet Rosary with videos on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook: if you allow it in the app, TikTok and Meta help us learn which video brought you here. What you write never leaves your phone.
I lead a parish group or a ministry. Can we use Quiet Rosary?
Yes, please write to us at support@quietrosary.app. We’re preparing a printable flyer with a QR code for parish bulletins.
