For the penitent who wants to come well prepared.
Confession asks something of us before we ever reach the confessional: an honest look at our life, and the words to say what we find there. Reconcile is built for that work — unhurried, without noise, and without anyone looking over your shoulder.
It walks with you through an examination of conscience, keeps the prayers you need where you can find them, and guides you through the rite step by step, so that nothing is forgotten in the moment. Afterward, it holds your penance and whatever you wish to remember.
Reconcile does not replace the sacrament, and it was never meant to. The sacrament takes place with a priest. This is simply a help on the way there, and on the way back.
What Reconcile holds.
A small set of things, each built around one part of the sacrament, and each made to be set down as easily as it is picked up.
-
i.
Examination of Conscience
A guided examination you can move through at your own pace, so you arrive knowing what you have come to confess.
-
ii.
The Prayers
The Act of Contrition and the prayers that surround the sacrament, kept close at hand — before you go in, and after you come out.
-
iii.
A Walkthrough of the Rite
What to say and when, from the first words to the absolution. Useful on a first confession, and after a long absence.
-
iv.
Confession Log
A simple record of when you last went, and where — enough to answer the question honestly the next time it is asked.
-
v.
Penance & Journal
Keep your penance until it is completed, and a place to write down whatever you want to carry forward from the sacrament.
-
vi.
Parish Finder
Find Catholic parishes near you when you need a confession time — optional, and only ever used when you ask for it.

Gentle Reminders
Set your own rhythm for examination and confession. Reminders are scheduled on your device; nothing is sent from a server.
What you bring to confession is yours.
Reconcile has no user accounts and no server of our own. Your examination, your confession log, your penance, and your journal are stored on your device and encrypted at rest. They are never sent to us, to your parish, or to your priest — we could not read them if we wanted to.
There are no advertising networks, no tracking SDKs, and no profiles built about you.
