Custom Prayer Times · Join the beta

Be among the first to try custom prayer times and help us shape this new feature.

Many of you have asked for this for a long time, and we’re grateful for your patience. We’re excited to release this as public beta, and we’d love your help testing it before it goes live.

This feature lets you choose when specific prayers appear, while still keeping the existing prayer rotation for the rest of your list.

👉

This feature is currently available only in the TestFlight beta version installed through the steps below.

What's new

In this beta update, reminders can work in two ways:

Prayer rotation (same as before)

Reminders are picked from your prayer list and shown over time, based on your rotation schedule. This is the current functionality that existed in Prayminder.

Custom prayer times (new)

You can set specific days and times for individual prayers. These reminders appear exactly when you choose. You can choose between three types of set times:

Daily, for prayers you want to return to at the same time each day
Weekly, for prayers tied to certain days of the week
Once, for a single moment you don’t want to forget

Both approaches (random rotation and custom times) can be used together, letting you shape a rhythm that fits your life.

How to use

You can manage your reminders schedule for both rotation and custom times from the new Reminders Schedule option as in the image below.

You can also add or edit custom times, as well as exclude specific prayers from the random rotation, from within each prayer's settings view, as in the image below:

Back up before you test

This is a test version of the app. While it’s stable, things can go wrong, and test builds can behave differently from the App Store version.

Before installing the test version, please back up your prayers.
You can do this from Settings → Export prayers.

This ensures you won’t lose anything important. (Please note that exporting and importing only includes your prayers. Prayer statistics are stored locally on your device and are not part of the backup. If you uninstall the app, your statistics will be permanently lost.)

How to test

Install TestFlight from the App Store if you don’t already have it
Open Safari (or your select web browser) and visit prayminder.com/test
Install the Prayminder test version
Use the app as you normally would, and try out custom schedules

👉

Please note that the beta has a limited number of spots, so we encourage you to join soon if you’d like to participate.

(If you run into any issues installing the test version, please follow the instructions on the TestFlight page or reach out to us and we'll help you.)

Good to know

👉

Please note that while we’re testing and releasing beta updates, some details of the feature may change or be adjusted based on feedback.

👉

If at any point you prefer to stop testing and return to the regular App Store version, please do not delete the Prayminder app from your device, as this will also remove your app data. Instead, download Prayminder again from the App Store and it will replace the test version. Before switching back, make sure to disable any custom prayer times, as you will not be able to manage them after reinstalling the App Store version.

👉

TestFlight builds expire after 90 days, so remember to eventually update to the App Store version to continue using the app without interruption.

👉

As mentioned above, we strongly recommend exporting your prayers and keeping a backup, just in case anything unexpected happens during testing.

Feedback

Your feedback is essential while we’re testing this. If something feels confusing, doesn’t work as expected, or could be improved, please let us know.

You can share feedback directly in the TestFlight app by opening Prayminder in TestFlight and tapping Send Beta Feedback, or you can just contact us.

Thank you for walking this journey with us and for helping shape Prayminder into something that truly supports prayer in everyday life.

Blessings,
