“Active Streakers” to praise, and friends to “Remind”
A “Community Board” lists “Active Streakers” with the number of days each has kept a streak and a Praise button, then a “Remind” list of friends who stopped one to seven days ago, each with a Remind button, and “Invite to Pray” with access to contacts. Names and photos are blurred here.
Design takeaway
A button to remind a friend who stopped turns one person’s silence into another’s notification. If friends are part of the app, let them pray for each other, not prompt each other back.

Notifications and reminders
From an app that waits to be opened, through reminders the person sets, the church’s hours of prayer, a daily word and messages from people, to notifications tuned to bring people back and an AI that writes first: decide who chooses the interruption, how urgent it claims to be, what it says to someone who has been away, and what reaches someone at night.

From a request kept between someone and God, through one listener they choose, a few friends and a group with a leader, to the whole church and a public wall, with a board ranked by prayer streaks as a warning case: decide who hears a request, what each listener can and must do with it, and what comes back.
