— A cord of three strands

You weren't meant to walk alone.

A small circle for prayer, presence, and showing up — the way faith was meant to be lived. Three to five people. Five minutes a day. No feeds, no followers, no noise.

Get it on Google Play → iOS coming soon

Not a feed. A circle.

Just three to five people who actually know you.
public timelines
Just your circle. Quietly. Daily.

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."

Matthew 18:20 · WEB
The metaphor

A trellis, not a tower.

We didn't build a stage, a feed, or a megaphone. We built a trellis — a quiet wooden structure that holds nothing on its own, but lets the living thing growing on it climb a little higher than it could alone.

The vine is your covenant with the people in your circle. The trellis is just the daily structure that helps it grow.

"I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."

John 15:5 · WEB

2 Corinthians 13:5 · WEB

Prayer & reflections

One thread a day. Held only by your circle.

Replies anchor to specific answers. Prayer requests, posted by name or anonymously. No likes, no counts, no rank.

Prayer

"Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed."James 5:16 · WEB

Anonymous when you need it.

Every prayer request has a one-tap toggle. Flip it, and the request still belongs to you — you can edit and delete it — but no one else sees who it came from. For the things that are too tender to attach a name to.

Reflections

"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up."Ephesians 4:29 · WEB

Replies anchored to answers.

When you reply, you're replying to that answer, not to the person in general. The conversation stays focused. Optional emoji reactions, no counts. Just the conversation, in time.

Privacy first

What we don't do.

We don't train AI on your prayers.
Check-ins, prayer requests, replies — none of it is used to train any machine-learning model. Stated plainly in the Privacy Policy.
We don't read your circle.
Administrators only read content when a specific message has been reported, with about five messages of context. Admins do not browse circles.
We don't sell your data.
No third-party advertising trackers. No data brokers. Sub-processors (Supabase, Resend, Firebase) disclosed by name.

"But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret."

Matthew 6:6 · WEB

"Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together... but exhorting one another."

Hebrews 10:24–25 · WEB
Private by default

Stay quiet, or open a door.

Every circle is private until the creator decides otherwise. When made discoverable, only the name, blurb, tags, and member count are public — never its messages.

Visible only to your circle
The default. Members are admitted by invite code, by the creator, or by an approved join request. No one else sees a thing.
Discoverable, on the creator's call
A creator can flip a switch, add tags ("Men," "Recovery," "Spanish-speaking"), and open a seat to someone looking for community.
Who it's for

People who already know each other.

Or who want to. People who want a structured, daily way to stay close.

A pastor's discipleship triad
Three friends from college keeping faith alive after graduation
A men's accountability group of four
A married couples' circle of two pairs
A recovery sponsor and three sponsees
A women's prayer cluster from church
Parents of teenagers walking through the same season
Young adults navigating big decisions together

"Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend's countenance."

Proverbs 27:17 · WEB
Deliberately not

Six things this app refuses to be.

A product is shaped as much by what it leaves out as by what it puts in. Here's what we left out — and why.

Not
A feed
There is no infinite scroll. You see today's word, today's questions, today's replies. When you're done, you're done.
Not
A content platform
There are no creators, no audiences, no follower counts. Nobody is performing. Everybody is participating.
Not
Gamified
No streaks-for-streaks-sake. No badges. No leaderboards. The reward for showing up is showing up.
Not
Ad-supported
No third-party ad SDKs are linked into the app. Your prayers will never be inventory.
Not
Anonymous-by-default
People in your circle know who you are. The only anonymity is on individual prayer requests, and only if you choose it.
Not
An open community
Each circle is a covenant. Members are admitted deliberately. You are not browsing strangers' confessions.
Moderation & safety

Care, with a paper trail.

Tiered moderation. Citation-backed bans. Appeals reviewed within seven days. Every administrator action logged.

Anchored reports
Reports tie to a specific message. Optional screenshot evidence. Status tracked through Open → Under Review → Actioned or Dismissed.
Citation-backed bans
Every ban cites which Terms-of-Service sections were violated. The user receives an email naming the cited sections, the duration, and the appeal address.
18-month audit trail
Every administrator action — including the dismissal of a report — is logged with timestamp, reviewer identity, and reason. Retained at least 18 months.
Tiered authority
Circle creators can report and remove from circle — but cannot ban globally. Permanent or extended bans are admin-only, after a creator's escalation has been reviewed.
Appeal in one tap
A banned user sees a full-screen suspension notice with cited TOS sections, the moderator's note, and a one-tap "Appeal by email" button. Reviewed within 7 days.
No browsing of circles
Administrators only read content when a specific message has been reported, and even then only the reported message and about five messages of context.

The contract with you.

Show up. Read the word. Answer the questions. Reply where you can.

The app should never demand more of you than that.

"Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do."

1 Thessalonians 5:11 · WEB

Common questions

A few things people ask.

Is it free?
Yes. The app is free on Google Play. We may add optional supporter tiers later, but the core daily rhythm — circles, scripture, questions, prayer — will always be free.
Do I need to be a Christian to use it?
The app is built around Christian scripture and practice. You don't need to pass a doctrinal test to use it, but you should know that the daily rhythm is anchored to the Bible and to prayer in a Christian frame.
How big can a circle be?
Three to five people is the design target. The app technically allows more, but the pacing, the question packs, and the philosophy all assume a small group. If you're trying to run a 30-person Bible study, this isn't the right tool.
What translations are available?
WEB (default), KJV, ASV, and BBE. All public domain — no licensing risk, no tracking, no paywall. The circle creator picks the translation; everyone reads the same one.
What about iOS?
The iOS version is scaffolded and pending Mac hardware availability for App Store submission. Drop your email above and we'll let you know the day it lands.
Will my data be sold or used to train AI?
No. Stated plainly in the Privacy Policy. No third-party advertising trackers. No data brokers. Your check-ins, prayer requests, and replies are not used to train any model.
Who runs it?
Covenant Circles is a product of Orange Forge LLC, a small Florida-incorporated software studio. Reach us at info@covenantcircles.app.
