Pray First
App icon: praying hands over the sunrise

What if the first scroll of your day was with God?

Your distracting apps stay paused until you do a short devotion: a prayer and the Word. Done? The day is yours. No lecture, no guilt.

Free to start · iPhone · iOS 17+

Home screen with your apps paused and an invitation to pray

You open your phone to check one thing. Forty minutes later, you're still scrolling the feed.

We know. Pray First flips the order of your day: prayer before the distraction. It isn’t one more blocker. It’s a place to start the morning with Him.

Three steps, every day

Simple by design. The pray-and-unlock loop is fully on your device, and never waits on the internet.

  1. 1 · Choose the apps

    You decide what gets paused. Your selection stays on your device, via Family Controls. No one else sees it.

  2. 2 · Pray + the Word

    A prayer and a passage: verse of the day, a psalm, a proverb. A few minutes with God.

  3. 3 · The day is yours

    Finish the devotion and the apps come back for the rest of the day. No lecture, no nagging.

The Word, every morning

A verse of the day, a psalm, and a proverb wait for you, instead of the feed. Light enough to read in a few minutes and carry through the day.

Word screen: verse of the day, a psalm, and a proverb
Journey screen: prayer streak with rest days preserved

Your journey, without the weight

Streaks that encourage, never scold. Your rest days don’t break the streak. And when life happens, a Grace skips a day without making you start over.

Start free. For real.

The essentials are free, because starting your day with God shouldn’t have a toll. Premium opens the full devotion, choosing your days and duration, the journey, and Graces.
