Poetic Coffee

 That makes total sense. While Hallow is the "giant" in the space, it is very much rooted in Catholic traditions like the Rosary, the Saints, and the Catechism, which can feel a bit foreign if you come from a more Protestant or non-denominational background.

If you liked the idea of Hallow (structured peace and prayer) but want something that feels more like what you’d hear at Harvest Baptist, there are a few apps that are much more Scripture-focused and "Protestant-friendly."

1. Abide (The "Gold Standard" for Protestant Meditation)

This is probably the closest direct alternative to Hallow but with a strictly biblical, non-denominational feel.

 * Why you might like it: It focuses heavily on "Bedtime Bible Stories" and guided meditations that are just a narrator reading Scripture over calming music.

 * For your mental health: They have specific tracks for anxiety, depression, and stress that use a "Biblical mindfulness" approach—focusing on God’s promises rather than "emptying the mind."

2. Glorify

This app is designed to be a "daily routine" builder. It feels very modern and would likely appeal to your Digital Multimedia Design background because the UI is clean and beautiful.

 * The Vibe: It includes a daily "bite-sized" devotional, a place to log prayer requests, and worship music.

 * Why it's different: It’s very much geared toward a general evangelical/Protestant audience. It feels less like a "church service" and more like a quiet time companion.

3. One Minute Pause (by John Eldredge)

Since you’re a busy mom with three kids and a Poshmark business, you might not have 20 minutes to sit still.

 * The Vibe: It’s very simple. It literally just invites you to "pause" for 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes to release everything to God.

 * The Benefit: It’s great for that "reset" moment when the kids are being wild or you’re feeling overwhelmed by your step count or health goals.

4. Soultime

This one has a very strong focus on mental health and emotional check-ins.

 * The Feature: It asks how you’re feeling (anxious, sad, happy) and then suggests a meditation based on that mood.

 * Faith Style: It’s non-denominational and very focused on the "inner life" and healing.
