Liber Pro
Privacy Policy
Please note that your privacy is important to us, as it should be. Users of the Liber Pro app are not monitored, your information is not retrieved, your hardware is not used to spy on you.
Liber Pro was first released around the same time as iMass. Together they complement each other in pursuing the same goal of making Holy Mass in the Traditional Form easily available everywhere.
Originally created and developed by Mr Michael Drake of Drake Applications, the app is now entrusted to LiveMass and the FSSP to continue preserving and developing. Liber Pro brings the Liber Usualis to your Apple device.
The Liber Usualis is considered the official chant book of the Church. It is difficult and expensive to find a Liber Usualis these days. They are rare and reprinting is difficult. Most of the time when you do find one, it is an old copy that has seen better days.
Liber Pro is the next best thing to having the hardbound book in your hand. Actually, some might claim that it is easier - the calendar feature will link you to the correct page for each Liturgical Hour of the Divine Office and the Holy Mass for the current Feast Day.
What's more, you can mark up your Liber too! With the annotation feature you can mark away, however you find it best to help read the chant notation. With a push of a button you can either hide or show the annotations that you have made. No more concern of destroying old historic books by writing all over them!
You can set bookmarks and easily go back to the places you have marked, very much like slipping in a holy card to mark your place.
Dark mode helps when you don't want the screen to be bright, for example during the chanting of Tenebrae.
In order to continue the spread of the Latin Mass, we have made Liber Pro absolutely free - including removing the in-app purchases and including the previously subscription-based features for free.
Whether you simply want to join in the singing of the Missa de Angelis on a Sunday, or chant Vespers, or if you are a member of a church schola, you will find Liber Pro to be a resource you need.
