v0.7.40 August 2026
Run the whole parish from your phone
Full parity on mobile — not only reading records but creating and editing every one of them from a phone, so the studio goes wherever the priest does.
Since June 2025
The road so far.
Symphonia began in June 2025 and has been built steadily ever since — first as design and prototypes, then as one parish's beta, then release after release. These are the milestones, in plain language.
256 releases shipped latest v0.8.90, August 19, 2026
v0.7.14 August 2026
Learn it in an afternoon
Guided tours, a single help center, a plain-language glossary, and a practice mode — so a new administrator can find their feet without a manual.
v0.7.7 August 2026
Live giving and billing
One-click setup for online giving, parish subscriptions, and invoices — real money moving, handled carefully and posted straight to the books.
v0.6.11 July 2026
A library for every certificate
Sacramental records as a proper archive — scanned certificates filed against the person and the register, safe and easy to find years later.
v0.6.0 July 2026
A top-to-bottom safety pass
A system-wide sweep for safety, privacy, and accuracy: more records encrypted at rest, tighter access on every read and write, and honest language throughout.
v0.5.32 July 2026
A proper sense of time
Every date shown in the parish's own clock, and where it helps the reader's own — so “today” and “this Sunday” always mean the right day, wherever you are.
v0.5.11 July 2026
One relationships system
The parish family tree draws itself from the records you already keep — households, godparents, and degrees of kinship, with a canonical reading to consult before a wedding.
v0.5.1 July 2026
The readings, right on the day
The calendar gathers the day for you — the service, the readings, the fast, and the commemorations — drawn from your jurisdiction and calendar, in one place.
v0.4.4 July 2026
Sign in with your face
Face ID and Touch ID sign-in, with an email-code fallback — quiet, modern security that respects a busy priest's time.
v0.4.0 July 2026
Synaxis — an app for every parishioner
A second, member-facing app: the whole parish in every pocket, with ministries to join, a directory, giving at a glance, and a way to make sure every request gets an answer.
v0.3.8 July 2026
Legacy — a sealed record
A permanent, confidential record for the deeply sensitive things a future priest must know — sealed to the rector alone and readable by no one else, not staff, not even us.
v0.3.3 July 2026
The pastoral spine
One person from the first hello to reception — visitor to inquirer to catechumen to member as a single record, with the catechumenate, families, and godparents kept as one.
v0.3.2 July 2026
A real set of books
Fund accounting built for a parish: a chart of accounts, giving that posts itself to the ledger, bank reconciliation, and books a treasurer can hand an auditor.
v0.3.0 July 2026
The whole studio, in your pocket
Every part of the back office rebuilt for the phone — real mobile surfaces a priest can read and work from anywhere, not a desktop screen squeezed small.
v0.1.12 June 2026
Quill — the parish workspace
Documents, shared drives, and office editing for the whole parish — the day-to-day paperwork of parish life, organised and in one place.
v0.1.1 June 2026
The first beta
Symphonia went live for its first parish: a private, encrypted home of its own, one unified studio, and the first records kept in the Church's own vocabulary.
Before the first release
The road here.
June 2025
The beginning
A conviction that an Orthodox parish deserved software built in its own vocabulary — the calendar, the sacraments, the Fathers — rather than a general tool bent to fit. The work began with listening: how parishes actually keep their records, their people, and their year.
Autumn 2025
Design studies
Months at the drawing board: studies of the parish studio, the sacramental register, and the calendar — the shape of a system that starts where a parish starts. Much of how Symphonia looks and feels was settled long before it shipped.
Winter 2025
Prototypes, tested with clergy
Working prototypes put in front of priests, and reshaped by what they said — the flows, and the model behind the pastoral spine, the relationships graph, and the liturgical calendar, reworked until they fit parish life rather than the other way around.
Spring 2026
The first working build
The studio shell, sign-in, and the first real records — the foundation the beta would grow from. Everything from here on is in the release history below.
