For iPhone · iOS 17 and later
Psalmwell is a daily Bible, devotional and prayer journal made for women who are tired of scrolling past three ads to reach one verse. Pay once and it is yours for good — no weekly plan, no trial to remember to cancel, and no second pop-up after you say no.
Today’s verse, three journal entries a day and one complete thirty-day pack stay free forever. No account, no sign-in, no ads.
Each one is a promise in writing, and each one is the reason a competitor cannot copy it in a week.
There is no ad in the free version, because there is no ad anywhere. Psalmwell carries no advertising SDK, no analytics SDK, no crash reporter and no sign-in — and it makes no network request of any kind.
The app has no account system and nothing to log in to.
Psalmwell Pro is a $29.99 one-time purchase. A $14.99 yearly subscription exists if you would rather spread it out, but the one-time price is the one on the front of the screen.
No weekly plan. No free trial to cancel. Close the purchase screen once and it does not come back on its own.
Write the prayer. Come back weeks later and mark it Answered. Open any month and read what happened — the things you would have forgotten by Thursday.
A restore point is written automatically before every export and every delete, so one mis-swipe is never the end of a prayer.
Screenshots from the built app, not mock-ups.
Every prayer has a second half. Tap Answered, add a line about what happened if you want to, and it moves into a book you can read by month. Exporting it as a printable PDF is part of Pro; exporting the journal itself as plain text is free.
Free: three entries a day, kept forever, and exportable as a .txt file. Pro lifts the daily limit.
Anxiety. Marriage. Motherhood. Grief. Waiting. Gratitude. Six thirty-day packs, short enough for a real morning and honest enough to be worth the morning.
One complete pack is free for good. Pro opens the other five.
Put today’s verse on the Home Screen or the Lock Screen. Both read from a snapshot on this phone, so they are right with the phone in airplane mode.
The Home Screen widget is free. The Lock Screen one is part of Pro.
Everything Psalmwell ships is in the public domain, and everyone is credited by name.
Released into the public domain on 30 April 2023. Free to read, copy and share, with no licence.
Public domain in the United States. Switch between BSB and KJV any time; the widget follows your choice.
Public domain. A real author, named on the page. Nothing here is generated to fill space.
Public domain. Today’s reading from both books is free every day; Pro opens all 366.
Psalmwell does not carry NIV, ESV or NLT, because those cannot be licensed for an app like this one. In version 1.0 the scripture and the classics are in English only — the interface speaks more languages than the texts do, and we would rather you knew that before you download.
The core loop is free: read today’s verse, read a devotional, write a prayer, mark it answered later. Pro gives more room, not permission — nothing on the free side was taken away to sell it back.
And no ads — including in the free version.
One optional purchase. Seven things, in four kinds.
It is not a subscription and it never renews.
Charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
Prices are shown in US dollars; the App Store shows the exact amount in your own currency before you confirm, and nothing is charged until you do. Purchases are handled by Apple, and refunds are requested from Apple. Restore purchases is on the purchase screen and in Settings. The full wording is in the Terms of Use.
Nothing, unless you send it. Psalmwell has no account and no server of ours anywhere in it — your prayers are written to this device and read back from this device. The app makes no network request at all: there is no analytics, no usage counting and no switch to turn any of that off, because none of it exists.
Two things can move your words, and you start both of them. Encrypted iCloud backup is part of Pro and stays off until you switch it on; it encrypts a snapshot on this phone with AES-GCM-256 and writes it into your own iCloud Drive, with the key in your iCloud Keychain. Exports are rendered on this phone and handed to the iOS share sheet, where you decide where they go. The only permission Psalmwell ever asks for is notifications, and only at the moment you pick a reminder time.
Free every day. One price if you want the rest of it. Opens straight to today’s verse in under two seconds.
