The whole Bible in a year.
Your apps can wait.
Pactum is a reading app for Catholics. Pick a plan, read today's passage, and until you do, the apps you chose stay closed.
How it works
A pact, kept one day at a time.
Not willpower. The reading simply stops competing with everything else on your phone, so the ten quiet minutes it takes are there, usually first, and usually without a fight.
The journey
Four 365-day paths through the whole Bible: in canonical order, in chronological order, four threads a day, or a gentle mix. The full Douay-Rheims is on your phone, offline.
The pact
Choose the apps that pull you away. Each day they stay shut until the reading is done, then open until midnight. Built on Apple's Screen Time. Pactum never sees what you do in them.
Listen
Any chapter, read aloud, offline. For the commute, the walk, or the mornings when your eyes are not ready yet.
The text
Scripture first. Quietly.
No streak warnings, no guilt, no confetti. A warm page, a serif made for reading, and a plan that waits for you rather than the calendar.
In the beginning God created heaven, and earth. And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.
