Anchor

◆

Begin and end the day in him.

A daily office in the Reformed tradition — a fixed form of prayer for morning, evening, and night.

Not a devotional to read. A shape to pray through.

Open Anchor

Free. No subscription. Works offline.

The hours

Morning

A psalm, the Gloria, a collect, and the day given over before it starts.

Evening

Confession, intercession, and the day handed back.

Night

Compline. Short, quiet, and the last word before sleep.

The order of prayer

The same shape every day, so you are never deciding what to do next.

  1. Opening versicle
  2. Psalm, in course
  3. Gloria Patri
  4. Creed — Sundays and Wednesdays
  5. Collect
  6. Confession — Saturdays
  7. Intercessions
  8. Journal
  9. Benediction

What is inside

Prayer list

A room for each person you carry, with notes, scripture, and a record of what God has answered.

Journal

Free writing, guided prompts, and a lament mode that walks the psalms’ own arc.

Led prayers

Puritan-tradition prayers and scripture-formed prayers, indexed by what you are facing.

Catechisms

Westminster Shorter and Heidelberg, one question a day, cycling through the year.

The whole Bible

Stored on your device. No signal needed, ever.

The church year

Advent, Lent, Eastertide, Pentecost — the app keeps the calendar with you.

“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast.” Hebrews 6:19

Why it is free

Anchor is a ministry resource, not a business. There is no subscription, no paywall, no upsell, and nothing to cancel. It works without a signal because prayer should not depend on one.
