Daily Flame Streak
A weekly streak tracker on the Home screen shows which days you prayed, encouraging a daily habit with a simple flame indicator for each day of the week.
About The App
Athmana is a Bible reading, reflection, and prayer app designed around a clean, distraction-light experience. Version 2.0 redesigns the Home screen around a Daily Flame prayer streak, a Verse of the Day, quick access to your top prayers, and an at-a-glance card for any in-progress guided consecration. It adds a private Confession Guide — a PIN-protected, on-device Examination of Conscience organized by the Ten Commandments and Capital Sins, with a step-by-step "In the Confessional" walkthrough and last-confession date tracking — plus a 365-day Bible in a Year reading plan and a Today's Readings screen tied to the Syro-Malabar liturgical calendar with a Syriac/Latin toggle. Rosary and chaplet playback now shows an animated bead-by-bead progress ring alongside Live Activity on the lock screen. It also carries forward the dedicated Read tab — a full chapter-by-chapter Bible reading experience with a Continue Reading progress tracker, Old and New Testament browsing, numbered verse display, verse bookmarks, inline highlighting, Save to Note, Open on BibleGateway, and Search in Google — all from a single tap on any verse. First launch downloads Bible translations during a guided setup flow. The app also supports English, Malayalam, and Spanish, guided multi-day consecrations with progress tracking, and Prayer Connect community rooms joined by a short room code.

Marked answers carry a checkmark or count badge; Capital Sins and My Own Notes sit below, with your last confession date and a Go to the Confessional button.
