Using PrayersPulse
Is PrayersPulse free, and do I need an account?
All six bundled tools are free and work without an account, subscription or payment. Open a tool, supply your details and build a result. There is no account dashboard or cloud history. You do not need to provide your name or email to create a plan.
Where do the prayer times come from?
You enter every clock time yourself. The site does not use location, an external timetable, astronomical calculations or a religious rules database. Check exact times and any seasonal or local adjustments with your local religious authority before relying on a schedule.
Can I use these tools with my own tradition?
Yes. Prayer names, optional tradition labels, intentions and wording are supplied by you. The tools do not assume a specific denomination, language or number of prayers. They do not verify whether an entered practice matches a tradition. Text is displayed literally rather than interpreted as HTML.
Are my entries sent to a server or saved for later?
No prayer entries are sent by these tools to a server, and the bundled code does not save them in cookies, localStorage or IndexedDB. Entries and generated results live in the current tab. Your browser may independently restore form values. Refreshing, leaving or closing the page can lose your work; save a download if you want to keep it.
What is the difference between the tracker and the habit planner?
The tracker records statuses for a single date and summarizes what you entered. The habit planner creates an upcoming date-by-date routine for selected weekdays; its checkboxes are spaces in a plan, not an automatically saved completion log. Neither tool measures religious merit or monitors your behavior.
How do I save, print or share a result?
Build the result first. Download text creates a plain-text file on your device. Print / Save PDF opens your browser’s print flow, where a PDF option may be available. The reminder planner also offers a calendar file. There are no public share links. Review private names, notes and dates before sending a file to someone else.
Will the reminder planner send alerts?
The website does not send email, SMS, push notifications or background alarms. It produces a list and an optional .ics file requesting calendar alerts. You must import that file into a compatible calendar and check alert settings and device permissions. A calendar app may ignore or change imported reminders.
How do time zones and daylight-saving changes work?
Times are used as entered, in 24-hour form. A time-zone label in the time planner is descriptive only. Reminder calendar files use floating local times, so the importing calendar decides the local zone. These tools do not correct for daylight-saving transitions or travel. Recheck dated times and test an imported event, especially around clock changes.
What if an interval crosses midnight?
The time, occasion and reminder planners attach a date when a calculated start, end or reminder moves to another day. A reminder with a lead time longer than the minutes since midnight can appear on the previous date. The daily time planner treats all entered prayer starts as belonging to its selected date; it does not guess that an early-morning entry belongs to tomorrow.
Why are some fields missing from my result?
Blank optional fields and entirely blank repeatable entries are omitted. A partially filled entry still needs its required label and, where applicable, time and duration. Leaving a detail blank does not trigger a lookup, a default prayer or a religious recommendation.
Can I use the tools on a phone or without an internet connection?
The layout adapts to small screens and supports keyboard operation. WordPress pages need a connection for their initial load; after the code is loaded, calculations require no network service. The standalone preview is self-contained and can be opened locally. There is no installed offline app or background synchronization.
What should I do if the result looks wrong?
Compare the entered date, 24-hour clock times, durations, weekdays and lead minutes with the explained method. Check for midnight crossings and empty rows. Edit the fields and build the result again. If you report a problem, use fictional values where possible. For the correct religious time or ruling, ask a local authority, not the tool.
Can I write devotional text or HTML in a field?
You can enter your own wording within the displayed length limits. Angle brackets and other markup appear as literal text; they do not create formatting or execute scripts. No prayers are generated or evaluated. Avoid including other people’s sensitive information without an appropriate reason and permission.
Does clearing a tool delete downloaded files?
No. Clear entries removes the current form values and result from the page, but cannot erase files, printouts, browser-restored data or events already imported into another application. Manage those copies on your device and in the relevant calendar or storage service.
