Is my prayer journal private?
Yes. What you pray stays on your phone. Prayer requests, journal entries, personal notes, favorites, and your prayer history are stored on your device — there is no account, and none of it is uploaded to a server.
What the app does and doesn't collect
- No ads, no advertising tracking. Your devotional life is not an advertising profile.
- On-device storage. Journal, notes, favorites, and history live in the app's local database.
- Crash reporting only. The app uses Sentry for production crash reports and privacy-safe funnel diagnostics — events like "prayer completed," never the content. Prayer text, notes, search queries, selected Focus Lock app names, and check-in answers are excluded by design.
- Focus Lock selections stay local. The apps you choose to block are picked through Apple's own picker and never leave the device.
- Share cards keep private text off images. When you share a streak or verse card, your journal and personal answers aren't part of the image.
The trade-off to know about
Because everything is on-device, deleting the app deletes your journal — there's no cloud backup to restore from (your device backup is the backup). That's the cost of the privacy design, and for a prayer journal we think it's the right one. Full details are in the privacy policy.
