The Vatican has an app called Click-To-Pray eRosary that is designed to be a compliment to their new rosary bracelet. However, you don’t need to purchase the bracelet to use the app. Here’s a link to the site:
ERosary. (Scroll down a bit for the App Store links.)
The app is well written and keeps track of the suggested daily mysteries as well as when you have prayed.
I did purchase the bracelet and while it seems well made & conceptually is a great idea, it’s a little too sensitive and progresses through the app before I’m ready to progress. I usually turn off my Bluetooth, or remove the bracelet & use my beads, (which essentially renders this device as a very expensive rosary bracelet.) However, linking a bracelet to the app opens up two new themes in the app, which is nice - it gives some variety - and the intro/closing prayers of the other two themes have been updated since moving into a new liturgical season, so it seems that the app is still being tended to.
Anyway, I used the app for a couple of months before taking the bracelet leap and it remains my go-to tool when I settle in to pray. I often use it with a digital book. (
Praying the Most Holy Rosary: with Pictures by Benedict Prayer Books.) and they do compliment each other. As others have mentioned, there are a lot of visual meditation books for the mysteries - Amazon should show competing options if you click through the link above.
My add’ish brain is very easily distracted and using these e-tools for prayer manages to keep me centered and focused.
