Bring it before Christ.
Two doors. Two different kinds of spiritual material.
The overflow of daily life. The silence after prayer.
Both belong to God.
Everything you share is stored only on this device. Nothing is retained server-side beyond the AI request itself.
What is overflowing?
Write freely. Worries, tasks, relationships, fears, hopes, noise.
What did the silence reveal?
After prayer, adoration, contemplation, or stillness - what surfaced?
Two ways to return.
Your prayers, and the raw material of your days.
Both belong to God.
Prayers, kept and prayed.
Return to them gently. Keep praying. Notice what God has answered.
Choose a span of life to gather before God as a single prayer.
The record of your days.
The honest raw material of your life, kept gently in order.
Make it yours.
Adjust readability, then back up your journal and prayers.
Readability
Set a comfortable text size and font for prayers, reflections, and journal entries. This applies everywhere.
Lord, I bring You this day. Purify what is anxious, strengthen what is weak, and bless what is good.
Reading aloud
Hear your reflections and prayers read in a natural voice - useful while driving or resting your eyes. A small "Listen" button appears on each reflection and prayer.
Reading aloud is not available in this browser.
Prayer Review
Prayer Review is always manual - you choose the range and generate a prayer yourself. Optionally, let the app quietly draft prayers on a schedule. Auto-drafts are saved as drafts and never overwrite a prayer you have saved.
A gentle note
Anima Refinery supports prayer and reflection, but does not replace Mass, confession, a priest, a spiritual director, therapy, or medical care. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a human you trust.
Supporting Anima Refinery
Anima Refinery is kept alive by those who pray with it. A small monthly or yearly offering covers its quiet running costs and keeps it free of advertising. Your journal and prayers always remain yours, on your device.
Your privacy
Your journal and prayers are stored only on this device - never on our servers. When you ask for a reflection or prayer, only the words you choose are sent securely to create it, and they are not kept afterward. Payments are handled entirely by Stripe; we never see your card details. To move your writing to another device, use the backup below.
