YOUR PHONE IS ALWAYS READY TO TAKE YOUR ATTENTION. YOUR PRAYER LIFE DESERVES THE SAME. Still: Sacred Pause is a distraction-free space on your phone — built for one purpose: to help you step away from the noise, enter a moment of intentional stillness, and return to your day with clarity and peace. This is not a meditation app. Not a content library. Not a habit tracker built around streaks and scores. Still is a moment of prayer you actually take. — FREE FEATURES • One Still Space per day • Silent prayer sessions • Ambient prayer sessions • Basic journaling after each session • Session history and reflection tracking PREMIUM FEATURES (Subscription Required) • Unlimited Still Spaces • Guided prayer sessions • App blocking during Still Spaces • Still Circles (shared group prayer sessions) • Advanced scheduling and recurring sessions • Unlimited journaling and session history — A SPACE BUILT FOR PRAYER The moment you enter Still Space, everything else stops. No notifications pulling you away. No feeds competing for your attention. No pressure to show up perfectly. Just you, your faith, and the quiet. You choose how you want to enter: Silent — Complete stillness. No sound, no guidance. Just your prayer, your words, and the space to mean them. Ambient — A gentle binaural rhythm plays softly in the background, designed to help your mind settle and your heart open without distraction. Guided (Premium) — Thoughtfully crafted reflections on gratitude, presence, calm, and intention. Short spoken prompts followed by long stretches of silence. Because in Still Space, the silence is always the point. Every mode is built around the same truth: you don’t need more content. You need fewer distractions. — BUILT FOR CONSISTENCY, NOT PERFORMANCE No streaks. No scores. No guilt for missing a day. Still is built around a simple belief: showing up consistently — even for just five minutes — matters far more than doing it perfectly once in a while. Your history is there when you want it. A quiet record of the time you chose to set apart. Unlimited history is available with Premium. — PROTECT YOUR SACRED TIME One of the hardest parts of prayer isn’t the prayer itself — it’s protecting the time for it. Still Premium helps you guard those moments by temporarily blocking distracting apps during your sessions, giving you the space to fully disconnect and be present. Because your first moments of the morning — or your last before sleep — deserve more than a scroll. — REFLECT AND REMEMBER After each session, Still invites you to capture what stayed with you. A word. A feeling. A quiet realization that surfaced in the silence. Your journal becomes a living record of what happens when you slow down — a personal archive of the moments that mattered. Expanded journaling tools are available with Premium. — PAUSE TOGETHER Still Circles (Premium) lets you invite friends and family to enter Still Space at the same time. No chat, no content, no social feed — just the quiet knowledge that someone you love is pausing alongside you. Stillness is powerful on its own. Together, it goes deeper. — FOR ANYONE WHO PRAYS Still is built for people of every faith tradition — and for those still finding their way. Whether you pray with words or with silence. Whether you come from a long tradition or you’re just beginning. Whether your faith is certain or searching — Still makes space for all of it. No denomination. No doctrine. No judgment. Just a simple, clean space where you can show up as you are, and be still. — Step away. Be still. Come back clearer. Terms Of Use: https://elastickarma.com/terms.html
