Psalmbook: prayer journal

About this app

What Psalmbook does

Psalmbook is the private offline prayer journal — the place to write what you're carrying, who you're praying for, and what you've seen God do, without an account, without ads, and without your most personal words sitting in someone else's cloud. What ships in v1: — Prayer list. People + intentions, tagged (family, friends, church, work, world). Mark when answered. — Freeform journal entries. Long-form writing — gratitude, lament, requests, examen, daily reflection. Each entry timestamped. — Daily prayer rhythm. Optional morning + evening notification. Suggested prompts (a name to pray for, a scripture, a question — bundled, not AI-generated). — Scripture capture. Type or photo-OCR (VisionKit) a verse you want to remember; attach it to a prayer entry or to a memory shelf. — Examen / structured reflection. Five-step prompts (gratitude, ask for light, review, confess, look forward) — for those who use the Ignatian rhythm. — Answered-prayer log. Mark a prayer answered and write what happened. Watch the list of God's faithfulness grow. — Face ID app lock for privacy. — No account, no cloud, no ads, no subscription. Echo Prayer is simple but limited and stagnant. Hallow is Catholic-focused and $69.99/year. Psalmbook is the everyday offline prayer notebook that just lets you write.
