PrayerMate helps you pray consistently for the people and causes you care about, so a promise to pray does not slip away.^1 Discipleship Tech, a UK charity, built it to help you organise your prayer life, know what to pray for, and actually pray.^1
Each day PrayerMate builds a prayer session from your own lists, picking a person or topic from each category and showing them as swipeable cards, prioritising what you have not prayed for in a while.^3 You can schedule cards by date or day, set reminders, attach photos and PDFs to prayer points, and privately share requests with a spouse, small group, or friends.^1^5 Version 10 adds encouragements you can revisit in a praise session, urgent cards for short-term needs, and an inbox for capturing a request quickly and filing it later.^6
Andy Geers first created PrayerMate while studying part time on the Cornhill Training Course in London, imagining missionary prayer letters on his first iPad instead of sitting unread in his inbox.^7 He later founded Discipleship Tech to support that mission, and the PrayerMate team says the app has supported more than 100 million prayers since it launched over 15 years ago.^6 The work is funded by donations; the app is free, with an optional PrayerMate Patron subscription and other in-app purchases.^2
