Frequently asked

The whole loop is free — capture prayers & gratitude, mark how God moved, set stones, share, and export your story. Cairn+ is for depth, not access: narration & companion voice, unlimited Ask Scripture, every translation, every guided prayer, and Remembrance — with a 7-day free trial. We'll never paywall prayer.

Then Cairn stays with you in it. Not every prayer ends in a yes — and Cairn is built for the whole of it, waiting included. While a stone is still open, Cairn counts the carrying: the days you've held it, the reflections you've written, the small graces along the way. Your faithfulness is made visible — never a win-rate. Nothing here shames an unanswered prayer, or implies an answer is owed.

No — and it never will. No streaks, no counters to keep alive, nothing to break. Miss a day, or a month, and nothing is lost. What Cairn keeps is the carrying, and that only ever grows.

Yes — private by default. Cloud sync is optional, you choose who sees anything you share, and you can delete your data anytime.

Yes. With Pray with me, you share one prayer at a time as a link — the people who open it can tap “I'm praying,” and you'll see you're not carrying it alone. Nothing else is shared, it's private by default, and you can unshare it anytime.

Yes. With Keep vigil with me, you can invite one trusted person to watch a prayer with you. They can only encourage — send “still with you,” “I prayed for you today,” or a verse — never advice. It's one witness, not an audience, and it's separate from Pray with me, which shows a quiet count of everyone praying.

Both.

You can start without one — Cairn lets you set your first stone, and shows you a verse matched to it, before you ever sign up. When you're ready, sign in with Apple or Google to keep your prayers safe and synced, per-account.

No. Cairn meets you in Scripture, and in a crisis it points you to real human help — not a verse.

Cairn adapts to your tradition and preferred Scripture translation — BSB, Douay-Rheims, Septuagint, and now the KJV among them (set during onboarding and in Settings).
