Nophri! Good day. We're glad you're here.
No. The full calendar — including all Coptic dates, feasts, fasts, the Synaxarium, readings, and your own events — works on your device with no account. You only need to sign in if you want to sync across devices or share a calendar with family and friends.
Sign in, then go to Settings → Account → Calendars, create a calendar, and tap Create invite code. Share that code with someone; they enter it under Join a calendar. Everyone in the calendar sees its events and can be assigned to them.
Make sure notifications are enabled for Nofri Calendar in the iOS Settings app. Reminders are set per event when you create or edit one. Shared-calendar "someone added an event" alerts require you to be signed in and a member of that calendar.
Yes. Your spiritual practices and prayer history stay on your device and are never uploaded, even when you are signed in.
In the app: Settings → Account → Delete Account. This permanently removes your synced data from our servers. Events on your device stay on your device.
Everything is computed on your device from the Coptic calendar and the Julian computus (shared with Eastern Orthodox Pascha). Feasts, fasts, and movable seasons are derived automatically. If you spot an error, please email us.
Nofri Start is a distraction-free start page you can set as your browser's homepage. It shows the Coptic date, the commemoration of the day, a daily verse and prayer, the teams you follow, and a handful of headlines from sources you choose — deliberately with no infinite feed. Your teams, news sources, and links are stored only in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Yes — that's Nofri Focus, an optional desktop browser extension that pairs with the start page. It gently blocks the sites you choose (Twitter/X and the like) and, when you slip, shows a calm "Pause" page with a verse and a short timed pass instead of the feed. It's local and private, with no account. See the extension folder for how to install it.
Nofri Start ships with a small set of major fixed feasts. For days not yet included, it links out to the full Synaxarium. The full daily dataset is the freely-shared English translation by the St. George Coptic Orthodox Church (Chicago), available at codeberg.org/randogoth/coptic-synaxarium. Corrections to the liturgical content are especially welcome.
