The Routines feature in the Hallow app lets you schedule prayers, reflections, and other experiences found in our app for the times that work best for you. You can choose what to add as well as when and how you’d like to be reminded to pray. If you'd like, your Routine can send you reminders with push notifications or SMS text messages.
⚠️ Note: Routines are only available on the Hallow mobile app. If you normally use Hallow through our website, consider downloading the app to try Routines.
Where can I find my Routine?
You have two places to find your routine:
On the Home tab, under the main carousel, tap Routine.
On the Me tab, the Routine shortcut is near the top of the screen. You can scroll sideways through the carousel or tap Routine for a list view.
If you don't have a Routine yet, you will see a prompt to create one. If you already have a Routine, an Edit button will appear on the top right.
How do I manage my Routine?
You can manage your Routine in Edit mode. Navigate to your Routine and tap either Edit or the begin prompt to make changes like adding, deleting, or rescheduling items and turning notifications on or off.
Scheduling Time Blocks
Time Blocks let you schedule items in your Routine throughout the day at the times of your choosing. You can add a single item or multiple items to a Time Block.
There are 2 ways to add a Time Block:
In Edit mode, you can tap + Time Block at the bottom of your Routine.
When adding to your Routine directly from a content area, Hallow will automatically create a Time Block based on your current time. You can change that Time Block's scheduled time or move the item to a different Time Block.
If you exit Edit mode with an empty Time Block, you will be asked if you'd like to delete it or schedule a Prayer Reminder for that time.
Editing Time Blocks
If you want to change your Routine's schedule, you have several ways to do so in Edit mode:
Tap the scheduled time on the top of each Time Block to enter a different time.
Press down on the 3 lines (☰) to the left of a single item and drag it to a different Time Block.
Tap Delete Block to remove a full Time Block and all of its items.
Tap the bell icon (🔔) at the top of each Time Block to turn notifications on or off. Visit the article linked below for more information.
