They are stored on your phone and never leave your device. You can use the whole app without the need to create an account. The app is free, shows no ads, and your data is yours only. MADE AS A MINISTRY Prayminder is made by Panos and Emma, a husband and wife who have been building it as a ministry since 2017, so that anyone can keep turning back to God in the middle of ordinary days.
