About

Prayer List App

Features
Read full description

Prayer is a calm, group-first way to keep track of who and what you're praying for โ€” organized by group, with a running timeline for every request so you can log updates as they happen. Prayer requests are never added from one big global list. Instead, everything lives inside a group โ€” Bible Study, Family, Church, Personal, or any group you create โ€” so your prayer life stays organized exactly the way you actually pray. FOLLOW EVERY REQUEST OVER TIME Every prayer keeps its own timeline: the original request, followed by every update you log as things change. Nothing gets overwritten, so you can look back and see exactly how something unfolded. WATCH PRAYERS BECOME PRAISE When a prayer is answered, mark it with a single tap. It moves out of your active list and into a running Praise feed โ€” a continuous record of everything that's been answered, across every group, without losing any of its history. SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Add a prayer on your iPhone and it's there on your iPad โ€” synced privately through your own iCloud account. No separate sign-in, no account to create, no server but Apple's own. DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY No status badges, no priority flags, no color-coded urgency. No streaks, no notifications pushing you to open the app. Just a quiet, journal-like place โ€” in a warm, calm "Quiet Ivory" design โ€” to keep showing up for the people and things you're praying for. FEATURES โ€ข Group-first organization โ€” Bible Study, Family, Church, Personal, or your own custom groups โ€ข A full timeline of updates for every prayer request โ€ข One-tap "Mark as Answered," with a dedicated Praise feed โ€ข iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad โ€ข No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking โ€ข Built natively for iPhone and iPad, with an adaptive layout on both Prayer is private by design โ€” everything is stored on your device and synced only through your own iCloud account. There's no server collecting your data, because there is no server.
