How pray.rs works

A walk through everything you can do: writing, sharing, praying for one another, and watching prayers become thanksgivings.

Write a prayer, or a thanksgiving

Someone sits at a table writing in an open prayer book by candlelight.

Tap + New, choose Prayer or Thanksgiving, and write it in your own words. Then choose who can see it:

A book, not a feed

Someone swipes on their phone and a single page of the prayer book turns over.

pray.rs shows one page at a time. Swipe, use the arrow keys, or tap ← → to turn the page. There is no infinite scroll and nothing is ranked. Choose whose pages you’re reading: Mine, Public, or one of your groups.

Start a group in real space

Two people stand together outside. One holds up a phone showing the group's QR code; the other scans it with their own phone to join.

Groups work best with people you actually pray with. Create a group, open it, and show its QR code. Anyone who scans it with their phone joins, right there. You can also copy the join link, or make a new one if the old link has travelled too far.

Or invite by email or text

Someone waves, and an invitation envelope flies across to a friend in another home, who opens it on their phone.

From a group, enter someone’s email address or phone number to send an invitation. They follow the link, sign in, and they’re in.

Share a prayer with your group

Someone hands a written prayer toward three friends gathered together, sharing it with the group.

Under any of your own prayers, pick a group and tap Share. It moves into that group’s pages, where the others can read it and pray for it.

Praying now

Two people in different places. One taps the praying-now button on their phone, and the other sees the count of prayers for their request go up.

When you pray for someone’s prayer, tap 🙏 Praying now. Tap it every time you pray; every tap counts. The prayer shows its running tally (“12 prayers from 3 people”) so the person who asked knows they’re being carried. Anyone who can see a prayer can pray for it: its author, their group, or everyone, if it’s public.

When a prayer is answered

Someone raises both hands in thanks in the sunshine. In the book, the original prayer stays as written, with a note about how it was answered added underneath.

Tap Answered: give thanks and, if you like, write how it was answered. The prayer becomes a thanksgiving. Your original words are never changed: the answer is recorded after them, with its date, so the page reads as the whole story:

Prayed · June 3 … Answered · September 27: “Made it through.”

Release a prayer

Someone opens their hands and a bird flies up and away: a prayer being released.

Some prayers are ready to be let go. Release takes a prayer or thanksgiving out of your book (and out of every group or public page), with an optional note about why.

Bring your own AI

Someone at a laptop talks with their AI assistant, which connects to their prayer book through MCP and acts only as them.

pray.rs has a built-in MCP server, so an AI assistant you already use (Claude, and other MCP clients) can read and write your prayer book, signed in as you and limited to what you allow. In Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http prayers https://pray.rs/mcp

Then run /mcp, choose prayers, and Authenticate. Your assistant can list and write prayers, give thanks with a note, release, share with a group, and tap praying now for you. This site uses the same server, signed out, to collect the public prayers.
