A prayer app lock for iPhone.

Pick the apps that take your time. Prayer Screen puts a verse and a moment of prayer in front of them — then lets you through.

Prayer Screen app lock: This app is locked. Pray this first, with a prayer from Psalm 46:10

How the app lock works

  1. Choose the apps

    Pick the apps you reach for without thinking. Social, video, games — any app on your iPhone.

  2. Set the hours

    Decide when those apps stay shut, like mornings before work or the hour before bed.

  3. Pray to open

    Tap a locked app and Prayer Screen shows a verse and a short prayer. Hold to pray, then continue.

Built to slow you down, not shut you out

  • Runs on Screen Time

    Prayer Screen uses Apple’s Screen Time, so nothing leaves your phone.

  • A prayer for the moment

    Each pause pairs a verse with a few lines of prayer, like “Lord, quiet me before I reach for the screen.”

  • Open anyway, when you must

    A limited number of skips lets you through when you really need to get in.
