Still Waters is a guided silent prayer app for Christians. Its single purpose is to help you slow down, quiet your mind, and meet with God. It is not a content platform, a social network, or a productivity tool. It is a still place — somewhere to sit in silence, hear Scripture spoken over you, and let your soul be refreshed. “He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.” — Psalm 23 HOW IT WORKS Within three gentle taps you are praying: • Choose your length — 5, 10, or 20 minutes. • Notice how you feel — joyful, grateful, anxious, grieving, weary, doubting, and more. Your session gently adapts to meet you where you are. • Choose a sound that settles you — soft rain, a crackling fire, a quiet forest, the ocean, or pure silence. Then be still. Scripture and gentle words rise slowly over your chosen sound. Nothing rushes. Nothing shouts. A soft bell closes the time, and you can write a sentence or two about what stirred in your heart. A QUIET, HONEST SPACE God meets people where they are — joyful, broken, doubting, or grieving. Still Waters holds space for all of it, without toxic positivity and without hurry. The app moves at the pace of the soul, not the pace of a notification. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No sign-up. No barriers — the app opens and works. • Your journal entries are private and stored only on your device. • No advertising. No user or device tracking. Ever. • Anonymous, opt-out analytics (Aptabase) help us understand how the app is used so we can improve it. No personal data is collected. GENTLE BY HABIT • See your prayer story unfold — a quiet record of the time you’ve spent in stillness. • Set an optional daily reminder to return. • Designed for dark mode, so it feels at home at 6am and 10pm alike. Still Waters is free, and always will be. If it has been a blessing, you can support the work — but you never have to. A still place, waiting whenever you need it.
