Tarry - Fasting Companion

Tarry is a fasting companion for believers - an invitation to stay close to God through the ancient practice of fasting. Whether you are skipping a meal, setting aside screens, or entering an extended fast, Tarry walks with you. Each day of your fast the app offers Scripture that becomes richer through the experience of hunger, voices from the saints across 2,000 years of church history, structured prayer, and a quiet journal to capture what God is doing. Tarry adapts to your fast. A one-day fast and a 40-day fast are completely different spiritual experiences, and the app treats them that way - the Scripture, reflections, prayers and journal prompts all progress through an arc that matches the journey you are on. Not every fast is a fast from food. A media fast is never told to stop eating, and a fast you name yourself is spoken to in your own terms. This is not a discipline app. It is a companion. The emptiness is not the point; the encounter is. FEATURES - Choose from water fasts, Daniel fasts, partial fasts, sunrise-to-sunset fasts, media fasts, or define your own - Scripture selected to deepen the fasting experience, with reflections from Ambrose Hughes - Daily readings from the church fathers, the Desert Fathers, the Reformers and modern voices - Three ways to pray: the Psalms, guided prayer, and prayers from the Christian tradition - A private journal with daily questions keyed to the phase of your fast - Guidance for breaking the fast, spiritually and practically - Build a regular rhythm: weekly, monthly, seasonal, or your own - Fast alongside friends or a small group, with quiet accountability and no feed - Works offline once a passage has loaded WHAT STAYS YOURS What you write in Tarry stays on your phone. Your intention and your journal are stored on your device and nowhere else - not on a server, not in anything we can read, not visible to anyone you fast alongside. People you invite see that you are fasting and which day you are on. That is all there is to see. No advertising. No in-app purchases. No subscription. No analytics. Completely free.
