Prayer alarms for iPhone
Your moment with God, every day.
Other apps remind you to pray with a notification, and a notification gets swiped away and forgotten. Kairos Verse uses your iPhone’s alarms: they ring even in Silent mode, fill your screen, and wait until you respond. Then they greet you with today’s verse and a devotional written just for you.
A notification is easy to ignore. An alarm isn’t.
For iPhone · English and Español · Requires iOS 26.1 or later
What makes us different
Alarms, not notifications
You get dozens of notifications a day. A reminder to pray shouldn’t have to compete with them. So Kairos Verse doesn’t send alerts: it schedules real alarms on your iPhone, just like your wake-up alarm.
A notification
- Is one small banner among dozens.
- Makes no sound when your iPhone is on silent.
- Gets swiped away before you read it.
- Can be held back by a Focus or a scheduled summary until later.
A Kairos Verse alarm
- Rings even when your iPhone is on silent, like your wake-up alarm.
- Fills your Lock Screen and shows in the Dynamic Island and on your Apple Watch.
- Waits for you: you stop it or snooze it for 9 minutes.
- Stop it and Kairos Verse opens so you can begin to pray.
Set alarms for devotion, prayer, Bible reading, or gratitude, once or on the days of the week you choose. Your time with God goes on your schedule, as seriously as any other commitment.
What “Kairos” means
καιρός
Kairos is the Greek word for the right, opportune moment: God’s timing. The app is built around small kairos moments in an ordinary day.

The verse on your Home and Lock Screen
Made personal
Starts with what you want to grow
A short welcome asks what you want to strengthen first — waking with purpose, praying consistently, reading daily, building a habit, or finding peace in hard moments — when you like to pray, and the topics that matter to you, like peace, faith, wisdom, gratitude, or family.
From there, Kairos Verse shapes your devotionals and study suggestions around you.
Privacy
Your prayers stay yours
- Written on your iPhone. Devotionals are created on the device with Apple Intelligence. Your goals and reflections are never sent to a server.

FAQ
Questions
Why alarms instead of notifications?
Because a notification is easy to ignore: it arrives with dozens of others, gets swiped away unread, and a Focus can hold it back. An alarm rings even when your iPhone is on silent, fills your screen, and waits until you stop or snooze it. Stop it and Kairos Verse opens, so the moment becomes prayer. If you’ve set aside a moment for God, it deserves a reminder that doesn’t get lost.
Do Kairos Verse alarms replace my wake-up alarms?
No. They’re separate alarms with their own name and schedule, alongside the ones in the Clock app. You can snooze them for 9 minutes, pause them, or turn them off at any time in the app.
Which Bible translations does Kairos Verse use?
English verses come from the New Living Translation (NLT). Spanish verses come from the Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI) and the Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV).
Does the devotional change the Bible text?
No. Verses are always quoted unchanged from the translation shown. Only the devotional around the verse — context, reflection, and prayer — is written for you.
What languages are available?
English and Spanish. Kairos Verse follows your iPhone’s language.
What do I need to run it?
An iPhone with iOS 26.1 or later. Personalized devotionals use Apple Intelligence on supported devices; every other device gets a built-in devotional for each verse.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose Kairos Verse. You can also manage it from Settings inside the app.
