Founded is a daily devotional and prayer book for Christian entrepreneurs. Founded is a subscription app. A subscription β€” with a free trial for new members β€” is required to access the daily devotionals, the full library of liturgies, and audio narration. Building something is heavy work. Founded gives you a quiet five minutes for it β€” no feeds, no metrics, no noise. Just Scripture-rooted readings for the founder's ordinary day, and liturgies for the specific moments that actually happen in business. WHAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION INCLUDES A DAILY DEVOTIONAL Today's reading is waiting when you open the app β€” a short, steadying word on faith and work to begin the day well. A LIBRARY OF LITURGIES For the moments a generic devotional never speaks to: β€’ The month you can't make payroll β€’ A client who's treating you badly β€’ Tension with a business partner or co-founder β€’ The day you close the deal β€” or the day it falls through β€’ Launching something new β€’ Letting someone go …and many more. Search the moment you're in, and Founded finds the reading that meets it. AUDIO NARRATION Every reading can be narrated β€” pray through it driving, walking, or before the team arrives. QUIET BY DESIGN No feeds, no streaks, no attention games β€” just an optional daily reminder if you want one. SUBSCRIPTION Full Access β€” $4.99 per month or $39.99/year, with a free trial for new members. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
