We live in a world where Christianity isn’t necessarily the home team anymore. For many, it’s a cultural relic, to be put in a box and forgotten about. A relationship with Christ is a foreign concept. We don’t think that should be the case. We are exiles living in a world that doesn’t totally understand us. Everyday we interact with countless people who have stories, thoughts, feelings, loves and hates. Everyday they are loved by a God who wants to know them intimately. Everyday we may be the only people they interact with who have a relationship with the creator of the Universe. Mobile app version: 6.20.0

Many of us pray and read the Bible, but end up doing more talking and analyzing than actually being with God. Closet is built to change that — a quiet, distraction-free space to close the door and meet with your Father, just like Jesus described in Matthew 6:6. EVERY DAY YOU GET • A Scripture passage to ground you in His Word • Prompts that point you to ask God — not just yourself • A distraction-free prayer timer that fades to dark so you can focus • A simple way to capture what He speaks to your heart YOUR PRAYER LIST • Keep the people and things you're praying for in one place • Tick them off as you pray, the way you'd work down a list on paper • Mark one answered, and it moves to a record of what God has done • Add an answer you never wrote down beforehand YOUR PROFILE, AT A GLANCE • Your streak, total prayer time, and milestones in one place • A weekly and monthly view of every day you showed up • A leaderboard among friends to spur one another on CHALLENGES & ACHIEVEMENTS • Daily missions that gently stretch you • A monthly prayer goal • Shared challenges with a prayer partner • Tiered achievement badges as you grow PRAY WITH FRIENDS • Follow friends and build joint prayer streaks • Empty Vessels: when a friend's streak slips, send them an empty vessel — they pray to fill it and keep going (inspired by 2 Kings 4) • Cheer one another on BUILD A HABIT THAT LASTS • Streaks and milestones that celebrate consistency, without guilt • Grace Days so one missed day doesn't undo your progress YOUR PRIVACY • Your written reflections and voice notes stay on your device — they're never uploaded Closet is free.
