Questions, answered plainly.
How is Pray Shield different from a general app blocker?
Pray Shield is built around a Scripture and prayer pause before selected iPhone distractions. It combines that pause with Bible reading and prayer tools. Check a general app blocker's current features if your main need is a particular productivity schedule rather than prayer.
Who is Pray Shield for?
Pray Shield is for Christians who want a short prayerful pause before social media, entertainment, websites, or other distracting iPhone apps.
What happens when I open a protected app?
At each prayer hour, selected apps rest until you have prayed. Morning, midday, evening and optional night prayer take about 2–3 minutes each.
Does Pray Shield see which apps I select?
Apple's Screen Time picker keeps your selection private. Selected apps are not added to Pray Shield analytics.
Is Pray Shield a Christian app blocker?
Yes. Pray Shield is a Christian app blocker and prayer screen time app for iPhone. You choose the distractions, then meet Scripture and prayer before opening them.
How do I set up the prayer pause?
Allow Screen Time access, choose the apps, categories, or websites you want to pause, then turn on the shield. Your selection stays on your device.
