Universalis For Mac

Universalis is a Mac app for Catholics who need an easier way to learn about saints that are celebrated on any given day, as well as access a wide range of religious texts for prayer, meditation, or just general reading, within a simple desktop interface.

The app features a fairly minimalistic user interface, consisting mostly of the main panel, where text and images are displayed. At launch, you are presented with information about celebrations for the current day, and you can browse through the calendar to any date you wish. Multiple calendars are also available.

If you click the drop-down menu on the top-right, you can access all of the other sections. These include the Gospel of the day, psalms, prayers, and readings for every hour, the Order of Mass (in the new English translation), readings at Mass, the Angelus, the Rosary, and more.

All content is available offline, with no internet connection required. The font and text size can be customized, VoiceOver can be used to listed to the text aloud, and you can even create e-books for various devices for personal use. E-book creation is not available in the Mac App Store version of the application.
