Quick facts

The pitch in one paragraph

Most prayer apps teach you how to talk to God. HARK is for the other half — the listening half. A contemplative companion that holds the silence with you, captures what surfaces, helps you test it gently against Scripture, and lets you carry it forward into a real day. The session arc is structured: Prepare, Listen, Reflect, Discern, Act. The privacy posture is unusual for the category — local-first, AI strictly opt-in, no third-party trackers, no data sold. The brand voice is unhurried.

The pitch in three paragraphs

HARK is a contemplative listening-prayer app, designed for the part of prayer most apps skip. Where existing tools focus on how to talk to God — guided prayers, scripted devotionals, audio meditations — HARK structures the practice of listening: silence, attention to what surfaces, and a four-question discernment filter for testing what you sensed before you act on it.

The session arc is deliberately small: five minutes is the default, five minutes is enough. After the silence, the user can capture impressions, test them against Scripture, and carry one short phrase ("daily carry") into the day. Returning months later, an Echo loop surfaces past entries with a quiet prompt — "You wrote this. What's changed?" — making the app a self- discipleship rhythm rather than a one-time tool.

The privacy posture matters: sessions stay on the device — protected by iOS device-level encryption while the phone is locked — and never upload unless the user explicitly chooses to share, either with a small private "HARK Circle" of trusted people or with the public Community surfaces. AI insights are opt-in and run through a privacy-aware proxy that doesn't log request bodies. HARK doesn't show ads, doesn't sell data, and doesn't claim to speak for God.

A note from the founder

HARK was built by a praying person, for praying people, in a season of her own listening. If it serves your walk — even one quiet five-minute session — that is the whole point.

heard. — the companion series

heard. is a short-form HARK series — conversations with people who have walked through real seasons of listening. Each episode is about fifteen minutes. No advertising. No clickbait. One person, one season, one thing they sensed in the silence. First season is being recorded now. More at harktime.com/heard.

Differentiators worth understanding

Founder bio

Dominique Cooper is the founder of HARK. She has spent nearly 20 years working across national security, nuclear energy, space technology, business development, and mission-driven storytelling.

HARK was born out of a deeply personal season of grief, surrender, and listening. After a long fertility journey, an unexpected pregnancy, and a devastating miscarriage, Dominique found herself awake through the night searching for something more grounding than distraction. In those quiet hours, she returned to a listening-prayer framework she had created years earlier and began building what would become HARK: a guided space to slow down, hear God more clearly, reflect honestly, and take the next faithful step.

She lives in Virginia with her husband. She can be reached at hello@harktime.com.
