Why Avela

You said "praying for you"
Then the day moved on

You mean every prayer, but requests get lost in texts and calls, and nobody knows you prayed. Avela gives those prayers one quiet place.

Mom is three states away

You talk on Sundays. You pray for her every day, and she has no idea.

Your brother has surgery on Tuesday

The family group chat is full of logistics. The prayer gets lost under it.

A friend just lost her job

"Praying for you" is the most honest thing you can send. Then life moves on.
Prayer Circles · at launch

A small circle for the people you pray for

Your family, your spouse, a few close friends or your small group. Only people you invite.

  1. Invite themSend a link or a QR code.
  2. Share what's going onA request, an update, or a verse that helped.
  3. Tap "I prayed"They see it, so nobody carries it alone.
  4. Mark the answerLook back and give thanks together.

Circle messages will be encrypted on your iPhone before they are sent. Circles are part of Premium and Family. How Prayer Circles will work

What it feels like

"Mom, I prayed for your surgery this morning."

Instead of a text that scrolls away, the request stays in your circle. Everyone sees who prayed, and when the answer comes, you mark it and remember it together.
