How do you keep praying for the people and things you said you would — when life moves so fast that even the best intentions slip through the cracks? Prayminder is a free prayer reminder app that turns your prayer life from sporadic good intentions into a daily rhythm of conversation with God.^1
The concept is beautifully simple: add your prayers to a personal list, choose how many gentle reminders you want throughout the day, and let the app bring each one back to you at just the right moment. Tap "Amen" when you've prayed, add notes to track how things unfold over time, and move answered prayers to a dedicated praise log — building a living record of God's faithfulness. Custom prayer times let you schedule specific requests — beginning your morning with a prayer of surrender or ending the week with reflection — while the rest of your list continues its usual rotation.^2 A stats feature helps you see your prayer journey over weeks, months, and years.^4
Built by Emma Ludvigsson and Panos Karageorgakis in Sweden, Prayminder grew from a personal question — "How can we pray more?" — into a movement that has now seen more than 30 million prayers lifted across 220+ countries. The app is completely free, with no ads and no subscriptions, sustained by donations and volunteer support. In 2026 the founders moved to working on Prayminder full-time, and the mission has expanded in significant ways: a partnership with YouVersion brings over 1,100 Bible versions directly into the app, letting users read Scripture and attach verses to their prayers. A completely new Android app — rebuilt from the ground up on native technology with full feature parity to iOS, including the Bible reader — is in final testing and nearing release, so both platforms will move forward together.^5^4 Behind the scenes, a cloud reminder architecture (now at over 99.9% reliability) intelligently rotates prayers so each one gets a fair turn.^10
Privacy sits at the center of Prayminder's values. You can use the app without an account, every feature is open to everyone, and your prayers never leave your device — the cloud works only with anonymous numbers, keeping your schedule running without ever seeing a word of what you pray.^10 "Prayminder Read" offers monthly reading plans and reflections on prayer, and the founders are beginning work on a way to carry prayers across devices and pray together with others while preserving that same anonymity.^4
Why Christians Love Prayminder:
"I've literally told all my friends about this app! Before I had this app, people would ask me to pray for them, and I'd feel so bad because I'd say that I was praying for them, but I wasn't because I would forget. Now that I have this app, I'm legit praying multiple times every day, and seeing change in my life!!"^2 Ryan Joy of The Bible Geeks wrote that Prayminder became his go-to after testing nearly every prayer app available: "My brain and heart started releasing [concerns] as I typed them in, prayed about them, and set them on the schedule to return to and witness God's work."^8 Jane, founder of Born to Fly, shared that the app "changed my brain" — "I'm wired now to think of prayer. That notification points me to God each time."^9
