Pray As You Go is a daily prayer service you can use as a website, podcast, or mobile app. It was created in 2006 by Jesuits in the United Kingdom. The prayers are based on Ignatian spirituality and include daily audio prayers with music, Bible passages, and reflections from the Spiritual Exercises, plus questions to help you examine your conscience. Later it added other prayers, such as the rosary and the Stations of the Cross.

It began on March 1, 2006, founded by Peter Scally, who had worked on Sacred Space in Ireland and later started Thinking Faith. It started as a website and podcast you could download to listen to later, which is handy for commuting. After more than 250,000 prayer sessions were downloaded, the project continued. By March 2008, more than five million sessions had been downloaded.

A mobile app came out on April 6, 2014. Before 2015, a Spanish version Rezando Voy appeared. In Lent 2017, the French version Prie en Chemin launched and, after two years, had about 30,000 users. In 2019, with the Christian Life Community in Egypt, an Arabic version Fi Tariqi Osally was launched. In 2020 it also appeared on Amazon Alexa. By 2020, Pray As You Go was used in over 180 countries and had versions in Dutch (Bidden Onderweg), Hungarian (Napi-útra-való), Polish (Modlitwa w Drodze), Portuguese (Passo a Rezar), Ukrainian (iMolytva), and Vietnamese (Phút cãu nguyên).
