PrayerMap brings people together through prayer, using a location-based map that connects hearts across neighborhoods and around the world. Drop a prayer via text, voice, or video. Watch your community show up. When someone prays for you, a memorial line connects your hearts across the map. Built with React Native, Expo SDK 54, Supabase (PostgreSQL + PostGIS + Realtime), Mapbox, LiveKit voice/video channels, Skia GPU shaders, and a native SwiftUI Apple Watch companion with HealthKit integration.
