Nephi's Gate
Seek Ye First
Free · In‑App Purchases
Nephi's Gate helps you build a daily Book of Mormon reading habit — by keeping your most distracting apps locked until you've finished.
Set a daily reading goal, choose which apps to block, and open the gate each day by completing your scripture study. It's that simple.
SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED
Nephi's Gate is a subscription app. A subscription is required to use all features, including app locking, daily reading goals, streak tracking, Live Activities, and iCloud backup. Choose the plan that fits you:
• Monthly — $2.99/month
• Yearly — $19.99/year (best value)
• Lifetime — $39.99 one-time purchase
Start with a 7-day free trial on any subscription plan. Cancel anytime.
HOW IT WORKS
• Set a daily reading goal (as little as 5 minutes)
• Select the apps you want to block — social media, games, streaming, or anything else
• Each day, your chosen apps are locked until you finish reading
• Once your goal is met, the gate opens and your apps are restored
• Miss a day and the streak resets — stay consistent to keep it alive
BUILT FOR CONSISTENCY
Streaks are a powerful motivator. Nephi's Gate tracks your current streak and your all-time best so you always know how you're doing. A daily reminder keeps you on track, and a customizable reset time means the schedule works around your life — not the other way around.
READ IN THE APP OR BRING YOUR OWN
The built-in reader includes the full text of the Book of Mormon. Pick up right where you left off — your last position is always saved. Prefer to read in the Gospel Library or another app? That works too. Just open Nephi's Gate, start your session, and read wherever you like.
ICLOUD BACKUP
Turn on iCloud backup to save your settings and streak data. If you get a new device, everything is restored automatically.
LIVE ACTIVITIES
See your reading progress right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you read.
Nephi's Gate uses Apple's Screen Time framework to enforce app blocking, so it works at the system level — no VPN, no workarounds.
For the family: Nephi's Gate is designed for personal use on your own device. Parental controls and family management are not currently supported.

Reconnect Screen Time from Settings when access is disconnected, and get clearer selection guidance.
Opt in to sync reading completions across your devices. Sync is eventual: open the receiving app to refresh the completion and reconcile its local shields. Screen Time selections, authorization, and purchases stay local to each device.
