Altar is a prayer journal with the Bible built in. Write down what you're praying for, pin Scripture to it, and keep a record of every answer. A HOME FOR YOUR PRAYERS Keep every request in one place, sorted into categories like healing, guidance and thanksgiving. Add a photo of the person you're praying for. Mark a prayer answered and it stays on the record, with a chart of every day you prayed for it. PRAY THROUGH THE SEASONS Prayer journeys for Advent, the new year and Lent: one reading a day, with a passage, a short reflection, a question to sit with, and often a prayer to keep. Each journey opens in the app a week before its season begins. PRAY NOW Start a session sized to the time you have, from a few minutes to no clock at all, and pray through your list one prayer at a time. THE BIBLE, BUILT IN Six translations, all offline: the Berean Standard Bible, World English Bible, King James and American Standard in English, Reina-Valera in Spanish and Bíblia Livre in Portuguese. Highlight a verse and pin it to the prayer it belongs with. A JOURNAL FOR THE WHOLE STORY A dated journal for the days words come easily and the days they don't. Search it, and your prayers and notes, any time. STAY STEADY Reminders in the tone you choose, a streak that counts the days you pray, and widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. YOURS ALONE No account and no feed. Your prayers and journal stay on your phone, and you can lock Altar with Face ID or your passcode. Back up to your own iCloud or to a file you keep. We see anonymous usage and crash data only, never what you write. SHARE WHEN YOU CHOOSE Share an answered prayer as a card showing only what you pick, or print and send your prayer list to your small group. SUBSCRIPTION Altar Premium is an auto-renewable subscription, with a lifetime option available as a one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
