New: Yearly Stats, Amen button in Prayers & more

A new update is here, closing the year with a few meaningful changes we hope will support your prayer life in a deeper and more natural way.

Your yearly prayer stats

As the year comes to an end, we are also introducing a new Stats section. This allows you to look back and see how much you have prayed in total during the year, and which months were especially prayerful. It is meant as a moment of reflection and gratitude. From here, you can also download a shareable image with your yearly prayer count, which we encourage you to share on your social media if you wish, not to boast, but to inspire others to return to prayer and perhaps begin a rhythm of their own.

We are mindful that prayer is not about numbers, streaks, or performance, and not something to optimize or compete in. Over the years, Prayminder has helped many people form a habit of continuous prayer, and these stats exist only to support that habit, as a reflection and aid, not a judgment. Looking ahead, we will continue to expand this area with more detailed insights for those who are interested in tracking and reflecting on their prayer rhythm over time.

You asked for it: the Amen button in Prayers

Until now, Prayminder has offered a way to mark a prayer as prayed through prayer reminders. Over time we have heard from a growing number of you who told us you also pray outside of reminders at your own time, and you wanted those prayers to be acknowledged too.

With this update, you can now mark a prayer with Amen directly from inside the prayer view itself. Whether prayer happens because a reminder finds you, or because you find prayer on your own, it now counts the same.

An improved Reminders view

The Reminders view has been improved to better support the rhythm of daily prayer. Prayers are now grouped between those you have already prayed for and those still waiting for your attention, helping you sense where you are in the day without pressure. Alongside this, you will notice new messages that accompany your daily journey, a fresh start as a new day begins, a gentle word when you have caught up with today’s reminders, and a quiet sense of completion when you have prayed through the day. We hope this makes the daily rhythm of prayer a little clearer and easier to follow.

A simpler Prayer view

The prayer view itself has been simplified. Prayer status and group selections now live inside a new Settings section inside the view, allowing the focus to remain on prayer itself. This also opens up space for new and meaningful additions to the prayer view in upcoming releases. As mentioned earlier, the Amen button is now always available at the bottom of the prayer view, so you can mark a prayer as prayed whenever prayer happens, not only through reminders.

A new reminders engine under the hood

Behind the scenes, the reminder engine has been rebuilt. Daily notifications are now more reliable, more fair, and more consistent, helping prayer return naturally throughout the day. The Notification Center has also been cleaned up. When you mark a reminder as prayed inside the app, the corresponding notification is automatically cleared, keeping things calmer and less cluttered.

Other improvements

As always, there are also small fixes and refinements behind the scenes, helping everything run a little more smoothly.

As this update brings a lot of changes, both visible and behind the scenes, please feel free to reach out to us if you notice anything that does not work as expected, or if something feels off. We’re always grateful for your help in making Prayminder better.

These updates are part of version 1.3.1. If your app hasn’t updated yet, you can simply visit the App Store to receive the latest version.

May these updates serve you well as you return to prayer in the everyday.
