Free to read. Always.
Everything written is free to read. Always. Orthros+ is the recorded voice, and the threads between everything.

The whole library is free to read, forever: the Fathers, the Prologue, the Scriptures, the calendar, the prayers, the Lives, the parables, the catechesis. Not a sample of each. All of it, end to end, without an account.

A page is never locked; only the wiring between pages is. Every prayer, every Life, every parable, the whole Bible, free, end to end, forever. Orthros+ is the recorded voice and the study apparatus that connects them.
This season
From the Dormition Fast to the Nativity Fast, all of Orthros is free and nothing on this page is for sale. Orthros+ opens with the Nativity Fast, on the fifteenth of November.
This is not an introductory price or a window that closes. What is free below is free afterwards too; the season only means the recorded voice has not arrived yet.

FOUNDING SUPPORTER
$89.99 once
Orthros+ for good, bought outright. It pays for the recording, the commissioned art, and the reader, which is to say it pays for the work itself rather than renting the result.
It buys nothing the yearly plan does not also buy. There is no rank here, no badge, and no name on a wall; it is simply the way to back the thing once and be done thinking about it.
SIGN UPWhat Orthros+ will be
All of this is on the way, not yet shipped. It only ever adds edges between pages; every page it connects is already free to read, and stays that way.
The recorded voice. The whole library read aloud by a human being, over chant commissioned for it, the Lives, the parables, the Gospels, the prayers you can say along with the reader.
The Fathers on the whole Bible. Free, the ✦ links open any Gospel verse into what the Church has heard in it. Orthros+ carries that same commentary across the Epistles, the Psalter, and the Old-Testament types, the whole Scripture, opened.
The threads that run from Genesis to Pascha. Thirty-three of them, with the covenants, the study rooms, and the concept index that wire the corpus together, an interactive study Bible, not a shelf of separate pages. Every room, the Temple, the Covenants, the Councils, is free to enter and read; Orthros+ is only the wiring between them.
You can pray with Orthros every day of your life, read every word in it, and never pay us anything.
