A Prayer Timer That Holds the Quiet for You

The hardest part of unhurried prayer is the clock. Check it and the silence breaks; ignore it and half your mind stays on the time. A prayer timer takes that job away: you choose the minutes once, and the app holds them — a soft bell to begin, silence in the middle, a blessing to end.

One to twenty minutes, nothing to watch

Set anywhere from one to twenty minutes. Pair the time with a written prayer from the library — morning rules, evening prayers, the Psalms — or sit in silence. The screen stays dark and quiet; there is nothing to scroll and nothing to check until the blessing tells you the time is kept.

A habit, not a scoreboard

The timer counts your daily streak, and it does so gently. A streak here is a quiet record that you came back, not a debt that shames you when you miss a day. Missing one does not erase what came before; the point is the practice, not the number.

Counted as mindful minutes

With your permission, each timed session is saved to Apple Health as mindful minutes — prayer taking its honest place alongside everything else you do for a steady mind. The data stays on your device.

When the timer is not enough

A timer keeps the quiet, but some days need words back. Quiethaven pairs the timer with a full Bible, a daily verse, live prayer circles where people pray together by voice, and one-tap pastoral counseling with verified clergy.

Frequently asked questions

What is a prayer timer?

A prayer timer holds a set period of quiet for prayer — a soft bell at the start, silence in the middle, and a blessing at the end. It takes the clock-watching out of praying.

How long should I pray?

Long enough to stop performing and short enough to come back tomorrow. Many people start with three to five minutes daily; Quiethaven's timer runs from one to twenty.

Does the prayer timer count streaks?

Yes — gently. The app counts consecutive days of prayer to encourage a steady habit, without guilt mechanics or pressure when you miss one.

Can prayer sessions count as mindful minutes?

Yes. With your permission, timed sessions are saved to Apple Health as mindful minutes. The data stays on your device.

Is the prayer timer free?

Yes. The timer, the prayer library, the daily verse and the Bible reader are all part of the free app.
