Ora: Prayer Guide

About

Build a daily prayer habit without turning prayer into another content feed. Ora is a Christian prayer app built around one simple idea: make it easier to set aside intentional time and actually pray. Create a personal prayer list, choose how long you want to pray, and Ora guides you through the people, concerns, gratitude, and matters of faith you already carry, one at a time. Rather than giving you an endless library of content, Ora helps you build a repeatable prayer practice around your own life. **MAKE PRAYER A DAILY RHYTHM** Start Prayer Time whenever you want, schedule a reminder, or on iOS 26 and later use Ora’s morning alarm to move from waking into prayer instead of immediately opening the rest of your phone. Repeating schedules, custom session lengths, snooze, alarm sounds, and haptics create a consistent cue for the habit you want to build. **PRAY FOR WHAT MATTERS TO YOU** Build a personal prayer list for people, situations, community needs, gratitude, personal growth, and faith. Add details, choose which items are normally included, mark prayers answered, archive older requests, and restore them later. For any Prayer Time, choose a different set without changing your main list. **A GUIDED SESSION WITHOUT THE CLOCK-WATCHING** Ora paces your chosen time across your prayer items and shows one item at a time with a simple segmented progress indicator. Need more time? Linger. Ready to move on? Tap Next. Short on time? Shorten the remaining session rather than abandoning it. **GUIDANCE WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY** Ora Plus can create guided prompts based on your prayer requests. Prompts are prepared before Prayer Time and cached on your device, so the session itself does not depend on a live internet connection. If a prompt is not helpful or applicable, skip it and Ora replaces it for future sessions. **PROTECT THE TIME YOU SET ASIDE** With Screen Time permission, alarm-started Prayer Time can pause selected distracting apps until the session ends. Calls, emergency calling, and system settings remain available. An optional Ora Prayer Focus Shortcut can also help quiet notifications while you pray. **BUILT FOR REAL LIFE** If Prayer Time is interrupted, Ora pauses and can resume where you left off. Your session state is saved along the way. Gentle haptic cues mark progress without demanding attention. **SEE THE HABIT YOU’RE BUILDING** Ora shows the days you prayed this week and keeps a history of recent Prayer Times, including duration, items prayed, and whether you completed or ended early. Showing up counts. Ending early is recorded without punishment. **PRIVATE BY DESIGN** No ads. No social feed. No account required to begin. Prayer Time itself runs from local data. If you choose to sign in, prayer-item text is encrypted on your device before it is stored for backup and sync across your devices. **ALSO INCLUDED** • Manual Prayer Time at any time • Multiple repeating alarms and reminders • iOS 26+ morning alarms with snooze • Six built-in alarm sounds plus system-default and silent options • Custom Prayer Time lengths from 2–90 minutes • Optional haptic feedback with adjustable intensity • Answered and archived prayer requests • Weekly practice record and Prayer Time history • Quiet nightstand clock • Light, dark, or automatic app appearance • Optional guided prompts with Ora Plus A positive habit begins by showing up.
