Store description excerpt

Examen is a quiet pause built for the moment right before you open Instagram, TikTok, or any app that tends to swallow your evening. Set it up once with a Shortcuts automation (step-by-step instructions are built right into the app, under Settings → How to Use Examen), and the next time you reach for that app, Examen opens first — a short, gentle conversation guided by a Catholic saint of your choosing (or a surprise), rooted in the Ignatian Examen: a centuries-old practice of reviewing your day, noticing where God showed up, and choosing what comes next with a clearer head. You can also open Examen any time you want — not just before social media — for a full Examen, general spiritual direction, or simply to be heard. • Rotating roster of saints as your guide — St. Augustine, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Teresa of Ávila, and more — or request one by name or by what they're known for • Grounded in the five movements of the Ignatian Examen, the cardinal virtues, and Scripture • Voice or text — speak your reflection or type it • A private journal of past sessions, stored only on your device • Free, with no ads, no subscriptions, no account required • Built-in setup guide for the Shortcuts automation — no guesswork Examen requires a free Google Gemini API key, which you create yourself in about a minute (a link is provided in Settings). This keeps the app free forever with no server costs passed on to you. Examen is a reflection aid, not the Sacrament of Confession, not therapy, and not a substitute for a priest or spiritual director.
