Prayerfold
Every prayer in one place.
What it does
Write down what you're praying for.
Pray through your list each day, with a verse and a reminder.
Mark prayers answered, and look back at how God has been faithful.
Our story
It started at home. We kept our prayer requests on a board. When I traveled, I couldn't see it. I still wanted to keep up. I wanted the updates, to keep praying, and to know how God was answering.
I've moved around and been part of a lot of churches. Every one shared prayer requests the same way, in a group chat or a text thread. The requests got buried. If you wanted an update, you had to text someone and ask.
So I built one place to keep them. Prayerfold holds every request, its updates, and how God answered. And when you share one, you can see who's praying with you.
No ads. Your prayers are never sold.
Questions
Who can see my prayers?
Only you, unless you share one with a group. Then only that group's members.
Can I un-share a prayer?
Yes. Open it, tap More, then "Stop sharing". It stays in My prayers.
What does anonymous mean?
The group sees "Anonymous" in place of your name. Group admins can see it's you, and one of them approves it first. If you're the only admin of a group, you can't post anonymously there, because nobody else could approve it.
Why does my group say it needs Premium?
Groups of 5 or more are part of Premium, and every member needs it. Groups of 4 or fewer are free.
What happens to my prayers if I stop paying?
Nothing is deleted when Premium ends. Your own list keeps working, and so do groups of 4 or fewer. Bigger groups wait for you.
Do you show ads or sell my prayers?
No. No ads, ever. Your prayers are never sold.
Does anyone at Prayerfold read my prayers?
No. We don't read your prayers. The only exception is a safety or legal report, and then we look at the reported item only.
I got a new phone. Where are my prayers?
Sign in the same way you did before (Apple or Google) and they'll come back.
I signed in and everything's empty.
You may have used the other sign-in button. Sign out and try the other one.
How do I make sure I never lose access?
Settings, Account, then add a second sign-in.
I'm not getting reminders.
Check Settings, Prayer time. Then check that notifications are allowed for Prayerfold in your phone's settings. Some Android phones need battery saving turned off for the app.
Can I use it without a group?
Yes. The prayer list, daily verse, reminder and Faithfulness are all free.
How do I report something?
Tap More on any post or message, then Report. The group's admins review it.
How do I block someone?
Tap their name, then Block. They aren't told.
My teen wants to use it.
Ages 13 and up can use Prayerfold. A parent or guardian gives their okay before a teen joins a group. You'll get a link that shows which groups they're in. The date you said yes shows in your teen's Settings, Account.
Can I get a copy of my prayers?
Yes. Settings, Account, "Export my prayers". You get a text file to read and a spreadsheet file, with your prayers, praises, updates and answers. Other people's comments aren't included. It needs a connection, and you can export 5 times a day.
How do I delete my account?
Settings, Account, "Delete account". It erases your prayers, updates, chat messages and profile within 30 days, and from our backups within 30 days after that. Comments you left on other people's prayers show as removed. One exception: a post reported as sexual content is kept privately for up to 1 year, because the law may require it in child-safety cases. Deleting doesn't cancel Premium, so cancel it in your Apple or Google account first.
Which Bible translation do you use?
The Legacy Standard Bible (LSB).
Is there a web version?
Yes, at app.prayerfold.app. It needs a connection, and reminders come from the phone app.
How do I reach a person?
Email [email protected].
What does Premium cost?
Prayerfold is free to use. Premium is $1.99 a month, or $17.99 a year to save almost 25%. Try it free for 14 days, once per person. During the beta, Premium is free until January 1, 2027. Nothing is charged. Premium lets you join groups of any size, comment on any prayer, follow prayers, bring group prayers into your daily prayer time, and start as many groups as you like.
Does it work without internet?
Yes, on your phone or tablet. Your own prayers work offline and sync when you're back. Joining or starting a group, buying Premium and admin approvals need a connection. The web version needs a connection.
Where can I use it?
iPhone, iPad, Android and the web.
Can I keep prayer details off my lock screen?
Yes. Settings, Notifications, then turn on "Hide prayer details in notifications". You'll see "Prayerfold" and "New in your group." in place of names and titles.
