How it works
Up and running in under two minutes.
- 01
Open your morning
A daily verse, a guided prayer rhythm, and a lit candle on your altar — under two minutes.
- 02
Read and pray
Open the Bible in your translation, save the verses that land, and tend your prayer wall through the day.
- 03
Let it compound
Follow a reading plan, keep a vow or fast, memorize a verse. Five quiet minutes a day adds up.
A note from the studio
“I built Anchor because most 'faith' apps felt like social networks or productivity tools. I wanted a digital monastic cell — somewhere quiet, beautiful, and focused entirely on the practice.”
Questions
The honest answers.
Is my prayer and journal data private?
Yes. Everything you write — prayers, journal entries, candles, vows, plans — stays on your device. There's no account and no cloud copy by default.
Do you show ads or sell my data?
Never. Anchor has no ads, no trackers, and nothing to sell. We can't share a database we never built.
Is there a free version?
Yes — the full Bible reader, daily verse, journaling, prayer wall, and a daily candle are free. Anchor Plus unlocks chapter audio, prayer rhythm, unlimited candles, reading plans, all plans and themes, and scripture packs.
Are the candles and offerings real-money purchases?
No. The candle, offer-up, vow, and fasting tools are devotional — they're personal acts of prayer kept on your device, not anything you buy or send.
Which tradition is it written for?
Anchor is broadly Christian and non-denominational. It's a companion for your own practice, not a substitute for your church, pastor, or Scripture itself.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Anchor works the moment you open it — no sign-up, no email required.
All your content — prayers, journal entries, candles, vows, fasting logs, reading progress, and saved verses — is stored locally on your device. The full Bible text ships bundled in the app and is read entirely offline.
