PrayerMate helps you be faithful in prayer for the people and causes you care about. Every day, PrayerMate will select a person or topic that you've entered from each of your main categories (perhaps "My family" or "My small group at church") and show them to you as a series of index cards - then just swipe between them to pray. It brings together prayer points you've entered manually, regular updates from a whole host of Christian charities and churches, PDF prayer letters and daily prayer pointers from "Operation World". Prayer is one of the greatest privileges for the person of faith, and yet most of us wish we were better at it. Now when you say to someone "I'll pray for you!" you can make sure you follow it up. Features: * Intuitive index card interface lets you swipe between the day's topics * Set up your own personal categories and subjects to suit the way you pray * Subjects can be entered manually or directly from your address book contacts - no typing necessary! * Privately share prayer requests with others in a trusted small group * Subscribe to online prayer diaries, with content from organisations such as London City Mission, Open Doors, UCCF The Christian Unions, Church Society and numerous local churches (including your own if you like!) * Operation World "country of the day" feed * Get the Church of England Collect for the Day automatically * Gallery of downloadable prayers, plus "Take Words With You" scriptural prayer builder * Attach photos and PDFs to prayer points * Import/Export via Dropbox * Optional daily alarm clock to remind you to pray * Prayer points can be scheduled by date, day of the week/month, or just whenever they haven't been prayed for in a while * PIN code feature for added privacy * Email or message the people you're praying for from within the app, or email prayer points to a group of friends * Built-in help system Become a PrayerMate Patron PrayerMate is free to use but you maybe optionally sign up for a subscription to Become a PrayerMate Patron to support the continued development of the app through the "Settings" tab.

Present, even when you're not. Running a business means you can't be everywhere at once. Present shows you who showed up and what got done, in real time, across every location you run. And for the people doing the work, it's a record of every shift they show up for, that belongs to them. One app. Both sides of the workday. FOR OWNERS AND MANAGERS See who's at work, right now. GPS-verified check-ins, with instant alerts the moment someone is late or doesn't show up. Assign tasks before the shift, watch them move through the day, and see proof the moment each one is done. Manage every branch, team, and shift from one screen, wherever you are in the world. No more wondering. No more end-of-day reports that only tell you what people want you to know. Just the truth, live. FOR STAFF Clock in with one tap when you arrive. Your location is checked once, never tracked after. Every shift you show up for builds a verified work record that's yours to keep, with timestamped, GPS-verified proof to settle any dispute fairly. It's not a tool used on you. It's a record that protects you. WHAT YOU GET • GPS-verified check-ins • Instant late and no-show alerts • Task assignment with live progress tracking • Multiple businesses and locations on one account • A fair, timestamped attendance record owned by owner and staff alike • Built to work on everyday phones and networks BUILT FOR REAL BUSINESSES Present is made for owners running multiple locations, managers keeping teams accountable, and owners managing their business from anywhere in the world. If you've ever found out too late that someone didn't show up, Present tells you the moment it happens. PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST We verify presence, we don't surveil people. Location is captured at check-in only, never in the background. Every record is shared fairly between the business and the staff member it belongs to. Set up your team in minutes. Free to get started. Present, even when you're not.
