Put God before the scroll.
Pray Shield is a Christian app blocker that turns a distracting tap into a calm 15-second Scripture Pause. Choose apps, categories, or websites with Apple’s Screen Time tools; pause with a Bible verse, pray, then choose whether to return.
A PAUSE WITH PURPOSE
• Put Scripture between impulse and social media
• Shield the apps, categories, and websites you choose
• Pray in your own words or begin with a short guided prayer
• Choose a brief access window after each prayer
KEEP FAITH CLOSE
• Start with the Verse of the Day
• Read and search the Bible offline by book, chapter, verse, or word
• Use the prayer library and keep private requests on your device
• Shape morning, midday, and evening practices with a weekly reflection
• Review a calm seven-day prayer, Scripture, and reflection snapshot
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your current concern, prayer history, private requests, Rule of Life, and weekly reflections stay on your device. Anonymous product analytics are always active. Prayer text, reflection text, concerns, personal answers, spiritual activity, and protected app selections are never included in analytics.
