People who switched from Pray Screen
Hear from believers who made the switch and why they stayed.
Both are good apps. Here's the real difference
Blocking apps is step one. Pray Focus is the complete prayer experience.
If you need a simple app blocker with notes
Pray Screen blocks apps and prompts morning prayer, with a 'My Note' feature for writing or recording prayer thoughts. Simple and straightforward, but lacks the depth of a complete prayer system.
BEST FOR
- Bible verses on blocked apps
- Prayer notes with voice recording
- Morning prayer prompts before apps
If you want a complete prayer system, not just verse reminders
Pray Screen shows Bible verses when you unlock. Pray Focus builds your entire prayer life: guided prayers from Catholic, Protestant & Orthodox traditions, a prayer journal, mood tracking, daily intentions, and streaks. All data stays private on your device, no account needed. 7-day free trial.
BEST FOR
- Guided prayers from 3 Christian traditions
- Prayer journal with mood & intention tracking
- Streak system with home & lock screen widgets
The Solution
Beyond verse reminders. A complete prayer system.
Pray Screen shows Bible verses on your lock screen. Pray Focus builds an entire prayer practice with journaling, moods, intentions, and streaks.
