Three parts. One focused Prayer Time.

Ora is not a library of devotionals. It is a list, a length of time, and a cue to begin. Those are the three things a habit actually needs.

Your prayer list

People, situations, community needs, gratitude, growth and faith, kept in one place so you can come back to them each day.

Prayer Time

Choose 2 to 90 minutes. Ora paces that time across your list and shows one item at a time, so you are not watching a clock.

Alarms & reminders

Set repeating alarms and reminders for any time you want to pray. Ora alarms work on both iPhone and Android and take you straight into Prayer Time.*

* On iPhone, Ora alarms require iOS 26 or later.

The Ora prayer list screen
Your Prayer List

Pray for the people and things you care about.

Ora keeps them in your prayer list so you can come back to them each day.

  • Add as many prayer list items as you want. This is free and always will be.
  • Add details, and choose which prayers are part of your usual Prayer Time
  • Mark prayers answered, archive older requests, restore them later
  • Pick a different set for one Prayer Time without changing your main list
One prayer item at a time during a guided session
Guided Prayer Time

Stay focused, one prayer at a time.

Ora divides your time across your prayer list and shows one item at a time, with a simple bar so you can see how far along you are.

  • Custom Prayer Time lengths from 2 to 90 minutes
  • Need more time? Linger. Ready to move on? Tap Next.
  • Short on time? Shorten the remaining session instead of abandoning it
  • Interrupted? Ora pauses and resumes where you left off
  • A gentle buzz marks your progress without pulling your attention away
Managing prayer alarms and reminders in Ora
Prayer Alarms · Reminders

Start your morning with prayer.

Set repeating prayer alarms, choose your alarm sound, and decide how long you want to pray.

  • On iOS 26 and later, a morning alarm moves you from waking into prayer instead of into the rest of your phone
  • Multiple repeating schedules, snooze, and six built-in alarm sounds
  • Use your phone’s usual sound, or none at all, and set how strong the vibration feels
  • A quiet nightstand clock for the hours in between
Choosing which apps Ora pauses during Prayer Time
Protect Your Prayer Time

Pause the apps that distract you.

Ora can pause the apps you choose while you're in Prayer Time. Calls and emergency calling still work.

  • Give Ora permission once, and a Prayer Time that starts from an alarm will pause the apps you picked until you are done
  • Calls, emergency calling, and system settings remain available throughout
  • You choose the apps. Ora never blocks anything you did not select.
Ora Plus

Guidance when you don't know what to say.

Ora Plus creates guided prompts from your own prayer requests. Prompts are written and saved to your phone before Prayer Time begins, so your session still works if you have no internet. If a prompt is not helpful, skip it and Ora replaces it for future sessions.

AI guided prayer prompts

Prompts written from the prayer items you already keep, generated ahead of time and played back as you move through your session.

Prompts read aloud

Hear your prompts spoken aloud during Prayer Time, with voice selection and adjustable speaking speed. Useful when your eyes are closed.

Shared Prayer Lists

Share a prayer list without giving up control.

With Ora Plus, you can share any of your prayer lists with family, friends, or a ministry team. They can follow the list in Ora, but only you can make changes. When you update it, they’ll see the latest version when they open or refresh the list.

  • You stay the only person who can edit the list
  • Stop sharing at any time and the list is removed from their app
  • Your shared prayer list is encrypted, so only people you send it to can read it
  • Anyone can follow one shared list for free. Ora Plus lets you follow as many as you want

Anyone with the link can read the list, so only share it with people you trust.

Print Your Prayer List

Sometimes paper just works better.

Print or export the prayer list you’re looking at as a clean PDF. Active requests are grouped by category with a checkbox beside each one. Answered and archived requests are included too, so you still have a record of them.

Use it in a journal or prayer binder, or give a copy to someone who doesn’t use Ora.

  • Exports only the list you’re viewing
  • Active requests get checkboxes; answered and archived requests stay separate
  • The PDF is created on your device. Nothing is uploaded to Ora

Everything in one place.

No switching between apps. No feed between you and the thing you sat down to do.

Prayer list

Add as many prayer list items as you want, across people, situations, community, gratitude, growth and faith. Mark them answered, or put them away for later.

Prayer Time

2 to 90 minutes, paced across your items, with linger, next, shorten, pause and resume.

Alarms & reminders

Multiple repeating schedules, six alarm sounds, snooze, and iOS 26+ morning alarms.

Pausing apps

Pause the apps you pick for as long as your Prayer Time lasts. You give Ora permission first, using your phone’s Screen Time setting.

Prayer history

The days you prayed this week, plus a history with duration, items prayed, and whether you finished.

Themes & vibration

Light, dark or automatic appearance, a quiet nightstand clock, and a gentle buzz you can make stronger, softer or turn off.

Multiple lists

Keep separate lists for family, church, or a season you are praying through, and choose which one Prayer Time uses. Free includes one list plus one shared list; Ora Plus removes the limit.

Shared lists

Share a list by link with people you trust. They get a copy they can read but not change, and it updates when you update yours. Sharing is part of Ora Plus.

Print & export

Turn the list you are viewing into a clean PDF with checkboxes beside each active request. Created on your device. Part of Ora Plus.

Build a Prayer Habit

Showing up counts.

Ora keeps a simple history so you can see the habit you're building, without turning prayer into a score.

Rather than giving you an endless library of content, Ora helps you build a repeatable practice around your own life. If you need to stop early, Ora simply notes it. There is no penalty. A positive habit begins by showing up.

Private by Design

No ads. No social feed. No account required.

Prayer Time runs on what is already saved on your phone. If you choose to sign in, everything you write in your prayer list is scrambled on your phone before it is saved, so it can be backed up and shared with your other devices without anyone else being able to read it.

Encrypted on your phone

Everything you write in your prayer list is scrambled on your phone before it is backed up. No one else can read it, including us.

Works without an account

Start praying the day you install it. Signing in is optional and only adds backup and sync.

Never ad-supported

No ads on the free plan, no ads on Ora Plus. Your prayer list is not an audience.

Free vs. Ora Plus

The practice itself is free: as many prayer list items as you want, the whole session, every alarm. Ora Plus adds guidance, more lists, sharing and printing.
