Wayfarer Prayers
Quiet prayers, at your pace.
About the app
Wayfarer Prayers is a calm, personal companion for over 1,500 Bahá'í prayers in ten languages — English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Icelandic, Czech, Slovak, Persian, and Fijian. It works offline, carries no ads, and does not track you.
Ask in your own words and on-device search surfaces what fits. Favourite any prayer to build a personal prayerbook; browse it as a grid, a list, or a full-page reader, and drag cards to arrange them in any order. Tap the play button on any prayer to have it read aloud, with the words highlighting in time with the voice.
Each saved prayer can carry its own calm, AI-generated background image, or one you describe yourself.
Privacy
We don't record anything. Period.
Search queries, prayer text, and your personal prayerbook never leave your device. The semantic search model runs locally on your phone, so searches require no network at all.
This backend is contacted only when you explicitly ask for one of two things:
- An AI-generated background image for a favourited prayer — the prayer's category and opening words are sent upstream so the image can match the prayer's meaning.
- Read-aloud audio when you tap the play button — the prayer's text and language code are sent so a voice synthesis service can generate the audio. The audio is cached on your device for instant offline replay, and on the backend so the next person reading the same prayer doesn't re-spend the synthesis cost.
No identifiers, no logs of content, no retention beyond what's needed to serve those two requests.
