Echo Prayer vs Cedar

Echo exists to help you pray. We believe that prayer is a powerful and effective way for us to connect with God. If you're anything like us, the biggest obstacles that keep you from praying are difficulty organizing or keeping a list of your prayers, and then actually remembering to pray for those things when life gets busy. Echo was created to solve these problems, and to give you space to engage with your Creator. We want to help you pray without ceasing. “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + KEEP TRACK OF ALL YOUR PRAYERS Echo lets you keep a list of every single one of your prayers. You can add as many prayers as you want, categorize them, delete old prayers, and even mark prayers as answered so you can see how God is working (and remember to thank Him!). SHARE PRAYER REQUESTS WITH OTHERS You have the ability to share prayer requests with other individuals or groups. Share prayers with friends and family privately, or create a group to communicate together. Sharing works great for small groups or focused communities committing to pray for each other throughout the week. REMIND YOURSELF TO PRAY You can easily set up push notifications or emails to remind you to pray for your prayers, prayers that others have shared with you, or prayers from your groups. Reminders help you engage with God throughout the week, even when you find yourself busy with life. PRAY WITHOUT DISTRACTION Echo gives you the ability to "Pray Now" which gives you a clear, focused way to pray. Choose what you would like to pray for and optionally set a timer for how long you want to pray. NOTIFY PEOPLE WHEN YOU’VE PRAYED FOR THEM After praying for someone, send out a notification to let them know you’ve prayed for their shared prayer. You get the option of sending out a message of encouragement after praying for them in the “Pray Now” portion of the app. FOLLOW & PRAY FOR YOUR MINISTRY With Echo Feeds, you can follow any ministry and pray for them! If you are a church or ministry, replace your old-school prayer chain or email list with a platform that is beautiful, organized, powerful and instant. Send real-time updates to your network, and connect your community in prayer. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Echo Plus+ Membership We offer many features for free, but to access all the features in Echo, you will need a paid subscription.

There is something beautiful and exciting that happens when we see God answer prayers. As we see prayers answered, our faith gets stronger, which in turn causes us to pray even more and feel even more empowered to share what God is doing. We’d love to connect with you and your story.

Cedar is a simple and focused routine tracker for traditional Catholics who want to bring Catholic prayer, fasting, and discipline into everyday life. There are no complex menus or cluttered screens. View all your day's routines and mark them complete directly from the home screen. Create daily, weekly, or monthly routines, build streaks through consistent completion, and review your history through detailed statistics. Each routine follows its own schedule, so your streak reflects whether you completed it by its due date, not simply whether you opened the app that day. FREE FEATURES • Create daily, weekly, and monthly routines • Use pre-built routines for common Catholic devotions such as First Fridays, First Saturdays, and Friday penance • Track routine completions and build streaks over time • Set reminders to help you remain consistent • Create custom routines with your own prayers, tasks, and activities (all user-entered text is encrypted) • View prayer catalogue and save favorite prayers • A clean, familiar design to make viewing and completing your routines effortless BUILT-IN CATHOLIC ROUTINES Cedar includes special routine types for Catholic practices and devotions, including: • First Fridays • First Saturdays • Weekly Friday Penance • Ember Days • Monthly Confession • Stations of the Cross CEDAR RULE Upgrade to Cedar Rule for additional tools designed to support a more thorough analysis of your prayer discipline: • View detailed completion history, trends, and growth insights • Create up to 25 custom routines • Add private encrypted notes to routines and individual routine items • Use missed-routine grace periods to record a routine shortly after its deadline and preserve a streak when you completed it but forgot to mark it on time. Grace periods give you a limited window to record a routine you completed but forgot to mark on time. Because completions cannot be added indefinitely after the fact, your streak remains a meaningful reflection of your actual consistency.. Cedar Rule is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Pricing is shown in the app before purchase. PRIVACY Cedar does not store your email address, name, IP address, or any other personally identifying information. Any text you manually enter in Cedar, such as custom routine names, routine items, and notes, is end-to-end encrypted on your device before it is sent to our servers using AES-256-GCM encryption. Only your device holds the decryption key. Cedar’s servers cannot read or decrypt your personal text. Operational data needed for the app to function, such as routine type, dates, completion status, and internal identifiers, is not end-to-end encrypted.
