Pray First: Reduce Screen Time

About this app

Still reaching for Instagram before reaching for God? You're not alone. The average Christian checks their phone 96 times a day but prays less than 5 minutes. Pray First changes that. When you try to open a blocked app, a prayer or Bible verse appears. Read it, connect with God, and then decide if you still need that app. It's that simple. • BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS: Choose which apps steal your time. Social media, games, news—block them all or just the worst offenders. Set custom schedules for each day of the week. • 5 BIBLE VERSIONS INCLUDED: Read daily verses and prayers in your preferred translation. Switch between 5 different Bible versions to deeply personalize your spiritual journey and connect with the Word. • PRAY TO UNLOCK: Every time you reach for a blocked app, you'll be guided through a meaningful prayer first. No rushing—real prayers that connect you with God. • BUILD A PRAYER STREAK: Watch your consistency grow. Track your daily prayer streak and see how your faith journey unfolds over time. • PRAYER JOURNAL: Every prayer you read is saved to your personal journal. Look back and see how God has worked through your daily moments of faith. • SMART SCHEDULING: Set blocking schedules by day. Block apps all day on weekdays but keep weekends flexible or go all in. Custom reset times let you design the perfect routine. WHY Pray First WORKS: Unlike simple screen time apps, Pray First doesn't just block—it replaces. Instead of staring at a lock screen, you're spending a moment with God. That's the difference between willpower and purpose.
