The Catholic Church is launching a new app to help people confess their sins.

Designed for the Tinder generation, it is the perfect antidote for those who have potentially used their dating apps a little too much and need to get back to the path of righteousness.

When should you put up a Christmas tree?

Although it doesn’t offer a full e-confession service just yet, it will direct people to their nearest church where they can unburden themselves to a priest.

Developers Musemantik described it as ‘a companion that guides you… It breaks through the digital noise’.


It offers ‘weekly inspiration’ in the form of religious and Bible quotes.

Its official name is The Catholic App, but naturally it has been dubbed ‘Sindr’.



People in Scotland will get access to it first, with an expected launch date next year.

Dr Maciej Zurawski, founder Musemantik, said: ‘Websites are losing popularity.

‘What is needed to engage with the mobile generation is an app that is smart and personal, an app that is like a companion, a friend that takes the initiative to inspire you – that’s the vision behind The Catholic App.’

Parishes will be shown on an interactive map to help worshippers find their nearest mass or confession.

The target audience is younger people, who may be less likely to go to mass regularly.
