An alarm for the faithful
Your alarm won't stop until you pray.
Pray to Wake is an iPhone alarm you can only silence by reading a prayer out loud. Your phone listens, checks that you really said it, and then lets you start the day with God first.
How it works
- 1
The alarm rings
Set it like any other alarm. When morning comes, it rings and keeps ringing.
- 2
You read the prayer
The prayer appears on screen. Sit up and read it out loud, word by word.
- 3
Your phone listens
Speech recognition runs right on your iPhone and follows along as you pray.
- 4
You're up
Once the prayer is said, the alarm goes quiet. Your first words of the day were to God.
Prayers to wake up with
Start with the prayers the Church has prayed for centuries, or add your own.
Our Father
The prayer Jesus taught us.
Hail Mary
Begin the day with Our Lady.
Morning Offering
Give the whole day to God before it starts.
Glory Be
Short, simple praise of the Trinity.
The Angelus
The traditional morning devotion.
Custom prayers
Add a verse, a novena, or your own words.
You can't just tap a button
Other prayer alarms let you swipe, tap or hold to dismiss. Half asleep, that's easy to do without praying at all. Pray to Wake asks for your voice. The alarm only stops when you have actually said the prayer.
It is a small habit with a big effect: before the phone, the news or the to-do list, you speak to God.
- Voice verified, not tap to dismiss
- Speech processed on your iPhone
- Works with traditional and custom prayers
- Made for Catholics and all Christians
