Write down every prayer. See how each is answered. Pray Log is a private prayer journal for Christians. Keep everyone and everything you pray for in one place: your family, friends, church and yourself. Pray through them day by day, and record how God answers. No sign-up, no ads, and your prayers stay yours. Samuel set up a stone and named it Ebenezer, saying, "Hitherto hath the LORD helped us" (1 Samuel 7:12, KJV). Pray Log gathers your answered prayers in one place, so on hard days you can look back and remember how God has helped. TODAY'S PRAYERS Give each prayer its own rhythm: daily, weekly, monthly, or just once until you've prayed for it. Today lists everything that's due, with no daily limit: urgent prayers first, then pinned, then one-time, then the rest, each group starting with the one you've prayed for least recently. Organize prayers with tags and by person. A QUIET TIME OF PRAYER When you start, a short verse opens your time of prayer. Swipe through your prayers one card at a time while a quiet timer counts up. Tap Amen to finish and mark the prayers you chose as prayed. REMEMBER HOW GOD ANSWERED Add updates as things change and record as many answers as a prayer needs. Mark it answered, answered differently or set aside; you can change it later, and its history always stays. Each answered prayer shows how many days passed from the day you added it to its answer. PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE Give each person a page, with an optional photo and every prayer for them. Add people yourself or pick them from Contacts; Pray Log keeps only the names and photos you choose. After you pray, send a short "I prayed for you today" to let them know. A JOURNAL WITH SCRIPTURE Write freely, add a Bible reference with the passage you type in, and link each entry to the prayers it belongs to. Search your journal, and share any entry as an image. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH • Reminders for one prayer, a person, a tag, today's list or a prayer at random. Notifications show general text unless you choose to show names. • Home Screen widgets show today's prayers or who to pray for next. Lock Screen widgets show your progress and, in some layouts, the next person's name. • Control Center controls to add a prayer or start praying. • Share text from other apps to your Pray Log inbox and sort it later. • Siri and Shortcuts: add a prayer, mark that you prayed for someone, or start praying. Just say "Start praying in Pray Log". YOUR PRAYERS STAY YOURS No account, no ads, no tracking. Your records stay on your device and can sync through your own iCloud. Back up and restore at any time, or export your prayers, answers and journal as a PDF. FREE, WITHOUT LIMITS Unlimited prayers and journal entries, iCloud sync, backup, PDF export, reminders and widgets are free, forever. Pray Log Plus is an optional one-time purchase that adds extra accent colors and alternate app icons. For iPhone and iPad.

But when notes are scattered and life gets full, it can be hard to remember the people you genuinely care about. PrayerMemo gives you a quiet, private place to save prayer requests, organize them by person or group, set gentle reminders, follow up with care, and look back on God's faithfulness through answered prayers.
