Meet today
See the date, liturgical season, and reading entry point without opening a dense dashboard.
A Catholic daily companion
Come Aside
and rest a while.
Tell Come Aside what you’re carrying today, and it meets you with a prayer and a verse for exactly that, in the daily rhythm of the Church.
“It gave me a prayer and a verse based on what I’m feeling. It felt like God was talking to me.”A Come Aside reader
Today
The liturgical year
Drag the wheel to move through the seasons.
Drag the wheel. Hover a feast.
Local-first
The core daily loop works on device. Account sync is optional.
Gentle rhythm
Read, reflect, pray, and return at the pace of the day.
Private by design
Journal, prayer, devotional, and religious data are treated as sensitive.
The day
Begin with the day the Church is keeping.
Come Aside gathers the daily rhythm into a calm path: the liturgical day, reading citations, a short original reflection, a question for your journal, and a devotion check-in when you are keeping one.

Reflect simply
Write or record what is on your heart, with a mood check-in that gives context without diagnosing you.

Return gently
Keep devotions and reminders close, with language that invites rather than pushes.
Free daily email
Receive the day in your inbox.
The daily email includes the reading citations, full public-domain reading text, a short Come Aside reflection, and one question for your journal. Download Come Aside for the full daily rhythm on iPhone, or receive the day by email after you confirm from your inbox.
You can unsubscribe from any daily email.
Journal
Your reflection stays at the center.
The journal holds typed reflections, voice reflections, moods, bookmarks, and imported notes. It is built for spiritual memory, not productivity tracking.
Search what you kept
Return to saved reflections and the lines that stayed with you.
Choose what is used
When you ask for reflection help, Come Aside uses only the draft, entry, transcript, or review range you choose.
Devotions
One faithful practice, kept without noise.
Come Aside keeps novenas, gentle fasts, Lenten commitments, and the Rosary near the daily reflection, so devotional practice belongs to the same quiet rhythm.

How to pray the Rosary
Novena journal prompts
Day markers
Devotion days are shown as a simple sequence, not a score to protect.
Rosary close at hand
The Rosary lives inside Devotions, ready when that is the prayer for the day.
Privacy
A quiet app should also be a careful one.
Journal, prayer, devotional, and religious data are sensitive. Come Aside keeps the core loop local-first, makes sync optional, and does not run hidden journal analysis.
Optional sync
Create an account only if you want your data available across devices.
Clear controls
Export and deletion paths stay available from the app.
No advertising use
Your information is not used for ads or third-party tracking.
