Your Daily Moment with God
PrayLock is an iPhone app that locks the apps you choose until you pray. It uses Apple's Screen Time controls, and you decide how often: pray once a day (Daily Devotion) or take a short prayer break before each app session (Mindful Moments).
In a world of endless scrolling, our connection to God grows distant. PrayLock will help bring your heart back to God through a shield of prayer.

Transform Your Prayer Life with Purpose
PrayLock creates a simple spiritual rhythm that helps you reclaim your attention and refocus on what truly matters.
Once Every Day, Pray to Unlock
Once every day, you will pray for yourself, your loved ones, or others to unlock your apps. This gentle boundary helps you refocus on what truly matters.
Your Private Prayer List
Create your private list of loved ones to pray for daily. Add optional prayer notes for each person to make your prayers more meaningful.
Apps Protected by Prayer
Select which apps you want to lock until your daily prayer is complete. Transform potential distractions into reminders to connect with God first.
A Shield of Prayer for Digital Life
In a world competing for your attention, PrayLock helps you prioritize your spiritual life by gently guiding you back to prayer before diving into your digital world.
Choose Your Apps
Select which apps you want to protect with prayer. These apps will be locked until you complete your daily prayer.
Create Your Prayer List
Add the names of loved ones, friends, or situations you want to pray for. Include optional notes to make your prayers more personal.
Pray to Unlock
When you try to open a locked app, PrayLock will guide you through a brief prayer moment. In Daily Devotion your apps then stay unlocked until your daily reset time; in Mindful Moments they unlock for one session and lock again when it ends.
Two Ways to Pray Before You Scroll
Choose the mode that fits your day. You can switch between them in Settings at any time.
Daily Devotion
Pray once a day to unlock your chosen apps. They stay unlocked until your daily reset time, then lock again until you pray the next day.
Mindful Moments
Take a prayer break before each app session. Your apps unlock for the session length you set (10 minutes by default, anywhere from 5 to 60) and then lock again.
