A prayer app blocker for iPhone
A pause between impulse and action.
Pray Shield uses Apple Screen Time to place Scripture, prayer, and 15 seconds of breathing room before the apps that tend to pull you in.
Step 1
Choose what needs a doorway.
Select apps, app categories, or websites with Apple's Screen Time picker. Start with one distraction rather than trying to redesign your whole life in a day.
- Built around Apple's Screen Time controls
- Your selected apps are not added to product analytics
- You can adjust your shield as your habits change
Step 2
Meet a calm prayer pause.
When you reach for a protected app, Pray Shield offers a Bible verse and a short prayer. The 15-second pause is long enough to notice the impulse without turning devotion into a punishment.
Use a guided prayer or your own words. The aim is simple: put God before the next scroll.
Step 3
Choose what happens next.
Continue because you have a reason, or leave the app closed. Pray Shield supports a conscious decision; it does not promise that one interruption will remove every difficult habit.
- Return to the app intentionally when it serves a purpose
- Step away when the impulse no longer feels useful
- Build morning, midday, and evening rhythms over time
