Poimaino

Every pastor carries people in their heart — the widow who hasn't been visited in weeks, the young family walking through loss, the longtime member whose prayer request quietly went stale. Poimaino is the tool built for that weight.
Poimaino (poy-mah-no) comes from the Greek verb ποιμαίνω — "to shepherd, to tend, to feed, to guide." It is the word used in John 21:16 when Jesus told Peter: feed my sheep. This app names the act, not just the role.
TEND YOUR FLOCK
Keep a private record of every person in your care. Life context, visit history, prayer requests, follow-up reminders — everything the pastor carries in their head, finally in one focused place.
NEVER LET A VISIT GO STALE
Every person gets a reminder window. Green means you're connected. Amber means it's time. Red means someone is waiting. The Today view surfaces overdue visits and upcoming reminders every morning — so no one falls through the cracks.
PRAYER THAT PERSISTS
Log prayer requests per person. Track them as active, answered, or archived. The unified Prayer page gathers every active request across your whole flock. Answered prayers don't disappear — they remain as a quiet record of God's faithfulness over time.
LOG VISITS AS THEY HAPPEN
Home visit, phone call, text, saw them at service — log it in seconds with notes and a follow-up flag. No friction between the pastoral moment and the record that preserves it.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your pastoral records belong to you and your congregation — no one else. All data lives on your device and syncs privately through iCloud. No accounts, no servers, no third-party access. Works completely offline — essential for hospital visits, rural ministry, and anywhere the signal drops.
PAY ONCE. OWN IT OUTRIGHT.
No subscription. No free tier with a ceiling. No upgrade prompts. $9.99, once — and everything is yours: unlimited flock, full visit log, prayer tracking, reminders, PDF care reports, CSV export, and iCloud sync. Pastors shouldn't have to justify a recurring charge to a deacon board to care for their congregation.
BUILT FOR THE IPHONE. EXTENDED FOR THE IPAD.
Native SwiftUI. Swipe gestures. Haptics that confirm the moment a prayer is answered. No web wrapper, no Electron, no compromises. On iPad, a sidebar and detail view give you the full picture at a glance.
Poimaino is the second app in the Wanderlust Ministry Suite, alongside PneumaNotes — tools rooted in the New Testament and built for the pastor who takes their calling seriously.
