## What is PrayIt?

PrayIt is a quiet, personal way to pray for the people and things that matter to you — and to actually keep it up.

Add the people and events you want to pray for, sort them into categories like Family, Church, and Friends, and give each one a list of specific requests. Then open the Pray tab each day and PrayIt walks you through them, one category at a time.

HOW IT WORKS
• Add people and events, and group them into categories you set
• Write as many prayer requests as you like under each one
• Give a request a rhythm — daily, weekly, every few days — or leave it unscheduled
• Open the Pray tab and move through your list, marking each request as you pray

STAY ON TOP OF A LONG LIST
• Unscheduled requests rotate a handful at a time, so you cover everyone over days and weeks instead of facing a wall of text every morning
• Scheduled requests are spread evenly across the calendar automatically, so no single day is overloaded
• Pick up exactly where you left off — today, tomorrow, or next week

RECORD WHAT HAPPENS
• Mark a request answered with a note, and it moves to your Answered list
• Add dated updates to anything ongoing, without closing it out
• Review everything in one place — Active, Answered, or All — and share or export a plain-text prayer list

A DAILY DEVOTIONAL, IF YOU WANT ONE
• Start each session with a verse and a prayer
• Write your own to cycle through, or use a bundled public-domain classic: Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, or Streams in the Desert
• Import your own devotionals in bulk from a spreadsheet

YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS
• Syncs across your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud account
• No account to create, no ads, no subscriptions, no tracking
• Nothing is ever sent to us — we have no servers and no way to see your list
• Back up and restore your whole list as a file whenever you like

Requires iOS 17 or later.

*2026-10-14*

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-11-04

Requests that end. Praying for a friend through a two-week trip, or a short illness? Give the request a last day (Edit Request → Duration → Ends on a date). It’s marked “Ends in 3 days” as the day approaches.
“Is this one over?” After the last day, PrayIt asks when you next open the Pray tab: extend it a little longer, mark it answered (with a Thanksgiving reminder if you like), or delete it.
Requests with an end date show up in People and All Prayers too, so you can see what’s coming up.
End dates are included in your backups.

### 1.3 — 2026-10-13

New: an optional PIN lock with Face ID
• Turn it on in Admin → Security. Choose a 4-digit PIN and PrayIt can unlock with Face ID or Touch ID.
• Your list is hidden in the app switcher, and the lock covers any screen you had open.
• It's optional and stays on this device only. It isn't sent to iCloud or included in backups.

New: pray through the Psalms
• Choose "The Psalms" as your daily devotional in Admin. You'll read one psalm a day, and the long Psalm 119 is spread over four days.

New: set up the ACTS prayer method
• Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication in one tap, with optional starter prompts for Adoration.

Prayer stats and rotation
• See how many times you've prayed for a request and the average days between prayers.
• A new Unscheduled Prayers summary in Admin shows whether any request is waiting too long to come up.
• Someone's several unscheduled requests now come up together in your rotation.

Easier to work with your list
• Delete a request right from the Pray tab with a swipe.
• Tap an active request in All Prayers to edit it, and swipe to add an update, mark it answered or delete it, just like the Pray tab.
• Move a single request to a different person or event, which also moves it to their category.
• People and events are now shown as "People/Events" throughout.

Backup and restore
• Backups now include your settings and where you left off in each category's rotation, so a restore puts everything back the way it was.

Fixes
• Fixed duplicate categories appearing when the app was deleted and reinstalled.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-02

New: ACTS prayer method. Set up the classic Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication structure in one tap from Admin → Prayer Method. Thanksgiving Reminders get wired up automatically, and Adoration comes with a few starter prompts if you want them.

New: Prayer stats. Tap any request to see how many times you've prayed it and how often, on average — especially useful for requests without a fixed schedule, where this is the only way to see how regularly you're actually getting to them.

New: Move a request to someone else. Open any request's edit screen and move it to a different person, event, or category — without touching anything else on that person's list.

Improved: Requests for the same person now tend to land together during rotation, instead of scattering across unrelated days.

Fixed: A rare issue where deleting and reinstalling the app could duplicate the sample starter data.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-24

• Pray through a category more than once a day — it never runs dry
• Quick-add a request right from the Pray screen
• Tap any request to change its schedule on the spot
• New: Thanksgiving Reminders — turn an answered prayer into a standing reminder to keep giving thanks, on the same schedule it had
• Archive or delete old answered prayers to keep things tidy

### 1.0 — 2026-09-14

No release notes.
