ShabbatLock: Jewish Focus
Torah, Psalms & Shabbat Focus
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Premium subscription required for app access. Apple's 1-week introductory free trial is available on eligible subscriptions.
Honor your time with Torah study.
Every time you reach for social media, ShabbatLock steps in with a moment of kavanah (intention). Instead of mindless scrolling, you engage with Torah and Jewish wisdom — reading a passage from Tanakh, completing a verse challenge, or pausing for reflection. Build a meaningful phone habit rooted in thousands of years of tradition.
WHAT YOU GET:
- Lock any app behind Torah study — choose Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, or any app
- Multiple unlock methods — scripture reading, fill-in-the-blank, word selection, and timed meditation
- Mood-based passage selection — receive texts matched to how you're feeling right now
- Shabbat mode — automatically lock apps from candle lighting to Havdalah
- Smart scheduling — daily study times, Shabbat-only, or custom periods
- Family-friendly — uses Apple Screen Time to enforce locks reliably
FREE + PREMIUM:
ShabbatLock requires a Premium subscription for app access. Eligible subscriptions start with Apple's 1-week introductory free trial and unlock unlimited app unlocks, unlimited schedules, advanced challenge types, and the full premium Jewish text library.
TORAH & JEWISH TEXTS:
ShabbatLock includes an extensive Jewish text library with over 65,000 entries:
- Complete Tanakh — Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim with Hebrew text
- Tehillim (Psalms) — all 150 Psalms for comfort, praise, and reflection
- Talmud selections — wisdom from 12 tractates of the Bavli
- Midrash — rabbinic commentary and stories
- Zohar excerpts — mystical insights from Kabbalah
- Rashi commentary — the master commentator on Torah and Talmud
- Pirkei Avot — Ethics of the Fathers
Content is organized by theme: comfort, wisdom, gratitude, teshuvah, emunah (faith), chesed (lovingkindness), shalom, and more.

4. Read, reflect, and unlock — replacing empty scrolling with Torah wisdom
