Prayminder

Add, edit, group, sort, answer, archive and delete the things you are praying for.

Everything you pray for is a prayer in your list. A prayer has a title, optional notes, and optional Bible verses. Prayers can be put into groups so that family, church and work stay separate, and each prayer is either In progress, Answered or Archived.

The Prayers tab with the In progress, Answered and Archived tabs and a group of prayers — iOSYour list, split into In progress, Answered and Archived, with prayers under their group heading.

Add a prayer

Tap the plus button

On the Prayers tab, tap the round plus button at the bottom of the screen.

Fill it in

Type a title where it says Enter title. Add notes under Write more details (optional) if you want them. To put the prayer in a group, tap the group chip and pick one, or choose Create new group.

Save

Tap the tick in the top corner. If you close the sheet instead, Prayminder asks whether to Keep editing or Don't save.

Edit a prayer

Tap the prayer to open it. The title and the notes under Notes can be edited in place; just tap the text and type. There is no save button. Changes are kept as soon as you leave the screen.

To attach a Bible verse, tap the plus button on the prayer and choose Add Scripture. See Bible and verses.

A prayer called Gratitude on its Notes tab, with notes and an Amen button — iOSA prayer's Notes tab. Tap the text to edit it; Amen is at the bottom.

Mark a prayer as prayed

Every time you pray for something, tell Prayminder so it can keep count:

From a reminder, long-press the notification and tap Amen, or tap Amen on the reminder in the Reminders tab.
From the prayer itself, tap the Amen button at the bottom of the Notes tab.
From the list, long-press the prayer and choose Amen.

The count appears on the prayer's Stats tab. See Stats.

Mark a prayer as answered

Long-press the prayer in the list and choose Mark as answered, or open the prayer, go to its Settings tab and change Status to Answered.

The prayer moves to the Answered list, your praise log. It no longer appears in reminders. To bring it back, long-press it and choose Move back to In progress.

The long-press menu on a prayer, listing Amen, Mark as answered, Move to group, Reminder schedule, Archive and Delete — iOSPress and hold a prayer for everything you can do to it.

Archive a prayer

Archiving is for prayers you are not praying about right now but do not want to lose. Long-press the prayer and choose Archive, or set its Status to Archived on the prayer's Settings tab. Archived prayers get no reminders. You can move them back the same way as answered prayers.

Delete a prayer

Swipe the prayer to the left and tap Delete, or long-press it and choose Delete from the menu. Deleting is permanent; there is no undo. If you might want the prayer again, archive it instead.

Put prayers into groups

A prayer can belong to one group. To create a group, add or open a prayer, tap the group chip and choose Create new group. Type a name and confirm.

To move an existing prayer into a group, long-press it, choose Move to group, and pick the group, or pick No group to take it out. The same options are on the prayer's Settings tab.

Groups show as sections in your list with their own header. Tap a header to collapse or expand the section.

The group header menu, listing Sort group, Move up, Move down, Rename group and Delete group — iOSThe menu on a group's header.

Rename, reorder or delete a group

Tap the menu on the group's header. It offers Sort group, Move up, Move down, Rename group and Delete group.

Deleting a group deletes its prayers

Delete group removes every prayer in the group, including answered and archived ones. Prayminder asks you twice and shows the number of prayers involved before it goes ahead with Delete permanently. Move the prayers out first if you want to keep them.

Change the order of your prayers

Prayers can be sorted automatically or arranged by hand. Open the menu in the top corner of the Prayers tab:

Sort prayers sets the Default sort: Custom, Alphabetical, Newest first or Oldest first. A group can use a different order from the rest of the list; choose Sort group from the group header's menu.
Reorder prayers lets you arrange prayers by hand within their group. Move each one into place, then tap Done. Hand ordering is only available when the sort is Custom.

While reordering, drag prayers by the handle on the right.

Find a prayer

Tap the search icon at the top of the Prayers tab and start typing. The list narrows to matching prayers, still under their group headers.

Change a prayer's reminders

Each prayer has its own reminder settings: whether it takes part in the rotation, and any fixed times of its own. Open the prayer's Settings tab, or long-press it and choose Reminder schedule. Everything about them is in Reminders.
