The Scriptorium
The whole Bible in a year. Sourced, nothing softened.
A Catholic reading plan in the Douay-Rheims that meets a man wherever he is — ninety seconds on a hard morning, or the Fathers at length when he has the hour.
The Scripture every day. The commentary at three depths.
The whole Douay-Rheims is written and free, all 365 days — every book of the Catholic canon, the deuterocanon included, in the app from the day you begin. Nothing about the reading itself waits on us.
The written commentary is being built behind it, a day at a time, and comes at three depths where it exists. It is deliberately slower than the Scripture, because every quotation in it is checked against the primary source by a reader other than its author. That checking is itself a published record: 717 of 766 citations are verified so far (93.6%), and the ones that are not are marked as unverified rather than quietly presented as if they were. A page that claims its own rigour should show you the number.
The Read. Ninety seconds, plain English, written for a tired man before the chapter. Finishing here counts as finishing the day. No asterisk.
The Study. Context, the Hebrew or Greek where it changes the meaning, the typology, where the text appears in the Mass, and the Catechism by paragraph.
Ad Fontes. To the sources: the Fathers at length, Aquinas, and a plain account of what the Church actually binds and what she genuinely leaves open.
An answer ready for the objection
Where a passage has been written up, it carries its armor: the hardest objections that passage raises — stated at full strength, the way an informed atheist or a Reformed apologist would actually put them — each with a sourced Catholic answer and one line a man can say out loud. Wherever the armor exists it is free, always, and never behind the Pass. We do not publish an attack on the faith and then charge a man to read the reply. It does not yet exist for every passage; it is being written, and we would rather say so than let you find out on a morning you needed it.
Read it with the Church, or straight through
Cover to Cover
Genesis to the Apocalypse, in order, the whole thing.
For the man who wants no one's arrangement but the Church's own — seventy-two books straight through, Genesis to the Apocalypse, with the psalter alongside as the daily companion. All seventy-three, nothing skipped and nothing softened.

The Procession
The story from the beginning, and a second reading beside it every morning.
For the man who has opened a Bible, landed in Leviticus, and quit. Every morning carries two readings: the story of salvation in order, and a second book beside it — the New Testament from day one, and the wisdom books once it is finished. No morning is law alone.
Available now
Your progress is stored against the chapters you have read, not a day number — so you can change paths at any time and lose nothing: every chapter you have read stays read and stays counted. The two plans take different roads, so a change may bring a chapter round again — the app marks those, and they are never counted twice.
Miss a week and nothing is lost
Most year-long plans die in March, when a man falls ten days behind and the counter shames him into quitting. The Scriptorium keeps two numbers: Days in the Word, which can never go down, and The March, the current run. Miss a stretch and you are offered two honest ways back. Missing a reading is not a sin, and this tool will never tell you it is.
