Orthodox fasting calendar · iPhone and iPad
One answer, in food words, for the calendar your own parish keeps.
Not on the App Store yet. Aiming for before the Nativity Fast.
New and old, Greek practice and Slavic. Every Wednesday and Friday marked, on every screen.
Everything is bundled. No account, no sign-in, and no server behind any of it.
The app states the general discipline of the Church. It is not your confessor.
What it answers
The fast level in food words, allowed and abstained in two columns. Not sure about a packet? Scan its label, in eight languages.
A month grid, and an agenda beneath it.
The feast, and the saints of the day named with their year.
Morning and evening, with your commemorations in their place.
Where it comes from
Two full years, both calendar styles, computed and compared line by line against the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese for the new calendar and the OCA and ROCOR for the old.
One rule above the rest. Your priest's guidance for you always overrides the app, and the app says so on the way in.
From the current build, so what is unfinished shows as unfinished.
39 days carry their appointed passages. On the rest the app says so, rather than showing the wrong ones.
Built and tested, with no recipes in it yet. No recipe count is claimed anywhere.
It reads printed ingredient lists. A mode that judged a plate of food was removed rather than shipped.
Permitted even on strict days, so it never turns a verdict red. Wine is not detected at all.
Free forever
Today's answer, in full. The fast level, where you stand in the season, the feast and the saints, and the line about your priest.

One person builds this. If a day is wrong, send the date, your jurisdiction, and what your own calendar says.
