The body
Real programming, not a workout list
Padre builds a periodised programme around your schedule, your equipment and your injuries, then adjusts it as you log: progression, RPE, and deloads that are real deloads.
Catholic-rooted. Every Christian man welcome.
A rule of life you can actually keep.
Prayer, training and habits: one daily plan, with a coach who remembers you.
Most men are not lazy. They are alone, and nothing has asked anything of them in years. Padre holds your prayer, your training and your habits in one place, and remembers what you told him last month.
Everything free for your first 7 days. No card, nothing to cancel.
One app. Three moments a day.
Real screens from the app.
Today
Your rule for the day, in the order you live it, with one next step.
Padre
A coach who writes like a letter, remembers, and changes your plan.
Temptation SOS
Ninety seconds when it matters: breathe, move, tell a brother.
What makes it different
Every other app tells you things. Padre changes them.
Tell him you are being tempted at midnight and he does not lecture: one thing to do now, one short prayer, and he stays. Tell him your knee hurts and the lifts that hurt are gone before you finish the sentence. A coach with your whole history in front of him, not a chat window.
You:
Late night, phone in my hand. I don’t want to do this again.
Padre
Put the phone on the charger in another room, then stand at the sink and drink a glass of water. Ten minutes on your feet. Pray this slowly: Lord Jesus, I am weak and you are near. Keep me this hour. I’m here.
Back to SOS: how did it go?
One man, not three projects.
What you do with the barbell and what you do on your knees are the same discipline, pointed the same way.
The day
Habits that survive a bad week
A handful of habits, each tied to Scripture, with streaks that don’t punish you for one bad day. Step and exercise habits tick themselves from Apple Health.
The soul
The practices men actually keep
A verse each morning. The Examen at night. Preparation before confession, a prayer list that remembers what is still unanswered, and somewhere to be honest about what you are fighting.
The fight
Ninety seconds when it matters
When temptation hits, Temptation SOS walks you through a breath prayer, getting up and moving, and telling a brother. Your own safety plan keeps your people and what helps one tap away for the darkest nights.
Why “Padre”
Named for the padre: the chaplain who marched with the men. Padre isn’t a priest. It’s here to get you to one.
Padre is written from within the Catholic tradition: the Examen, confession, the liturgical year. If you are Protestant, Evangelical, Anglican or Orthodox, he encourages you within your own tradition and points you to your own pastor.
We believe a man is one thing.
Not a body to be optimised and a soul to be squeezed in on Sunday. Discipline is not the point; it is the cost. And you should be strong enough to carry what you will be asked to carry.
What stays private
A coach only helps if you tell him the truth. So here is exactly what happens to it.
Your confession stays on your phone
The questions you tick in an examination of conscience never leave your device. Only the date of your confession is saved.
You decide what Padre remembers
Clear what he has learned about you, any time, from Settings. Your words are never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to train AI models.
We count actions, never words
Our analytics record that you prayed the Examen, not what you wrote in it. No session recording, no advertising trackers.
Leave whenever you like
