Mariam

An open-source meditative rosary app

Mariam is a free and open-source app designed to enable believers to pray the rosary even when they don't have a physical rosary at hand. Additionally, it serves as a helpful tool for meditation by displaying famous paintings in the public domain that are associated with each prayer or mystery of the rosary.

It can also be a helpful tool for individuals who struggle to keep track of beads while using a physical rosary.

Being open-source and not tracking users, it is also very suitable for believers in areas or situations where being caught with a rosary could lead to difficulties or legal repercussions, as it has happened multiple times in history.

I chose the app name 'Mariam' as a nod to Mary, inspired by what is commonly believed to be her native tongue, Aramaic. This name adaptation aims to resonate with English speakers while paying homage to its origins in the language likely spoken by Mary.

I dedicate this app, 'Mariam,' to Our Lady of Fatima in honor of the miracles attributed to her that challenge disbelief. The profound impact of her reported miracles serves as an inspiration behind the creation of this app, which aims to facilitate devotion and prayer, carrying on the spirit of faith and reverence associated with Our Lady.
