Hallow

Hallow

Your phone already knows how to steal your attention. Hallow tries to steal it back for God. It's a Catholic prayer and meditation app with seasonal campaigns, such as Lenten prayer challenges featuring well-known actors and public figures.

Inside are guided prayer sessions, the Rosary, Lectio Divina with Scripture, daily readings and reflections, examens, novenas, Christian meditation, music and sleep content. Much of it is voiced by priests, religious and Catholic personalities. The app tracks streaks and sends reminders. Some content is free, and much of the library requires a subscription.

It suits inquirers who want help building a daily prayer habit, beginners who don't know where to start, and people who like audio guidance. Start with a short daily prayer or a Rosary and let the app nudge you toward consistency. If cost is a concern, try the free content first. Five minutes a day beats an hour once a month.

Key Takeaways

  • Guided prayer for beginners.
  • The Rosary, Lectio Divina and the examen.
  • Daily readings and reflections.
