PrayerShield
Pauses your apps until you've prayed, not scrolled
An app blocker for Christians that replaces the moment of distraction with a moment of prayer. Pick the apps that keep pulling you back. Open one, and PrayerShield intercepts before the feed loads: a silent timer, a written prayer, or an audio Psalm. Finish it and you get your unlock time. No account, no sign-in, no reports to anyone. Strictness is yours to set: skip anytime, wait ten seconds, or finish the prayer. The streak counts prayers completed, not minutes avoided.
Maker here.
I built this because I kept reaching for my phone without deciding to. Not a choice, just a reflex. And the gap between how much I was scrolling and how much I was praying had gotten hard to look at.
I'd tried the usual blockers. The trouble with a wall is you get good at climbing it: ten seconds to disable, back in the feed, now feeling worse than before you installed it. Most faith-based tools work by reporting your activity to an accountability partner, and the moment I knew a report was going out, I stopped being honest with the app and started managing it.
So this one does the opposite. It puts something on the other side of the pause. Open a blocked app and you get a silent timer, a written prayer, or an audio Psalm before the feed loads. No account, no sign-in, nothing reported to anyone. You set how strict it is, including a mode you can skip anytime.
Live on iOS and Android. Happy to answer anything, and I'd genuinely rather have the critical feedback than the nice kind.
If you've tried a blocker and dropped it: what made you stop?
