APP BLOCKING
Pray before you scroll.
DAILY SCRIPTURE
From 3 Christian traditions.
PRAYER JOURNAL
Reflect after every prayer.
Pray Focus Media Kit
Pray Focus helps Christians build a daily prayer habit and spend less time on social media by blocking their apps until they've completed a prayer. It transforms screen time into sacred time, helping Christians connect more deeply with God and live a more intentional life.
How it works
Set your prayer time
Pick a daily time, say 8:00 AM, when your chosen apps should lock.
Your apps lock
At that time, the distracting apps you selected lock automatically.
Pray to unlock
Use a guided prayer or open prayer mode to stop and reconnect with God.
Reflect and continue
Journal your thoughts and mood after praying, then your apps unlock.

Amazing!!!
Honestly really good. I’m still really young and can’t get to pay for subscriptions yet, so this is perfect! And the first 5 bible chat questions it gives you when you first download the app helped me a ton! Now I can have a better habit of talking to god and getting in his word. Absolute Cinema.
Love!!
It’s free and is getting me closer to God some apps make you sign up for a plan to block apps but this one is free there is a subscription to pay for Ai you explain verses but that wasn’t important for me really helped!!
Yes, the app i was looking for is finally available
Pray Focus has made daily prayer feel less like a task and more like a habit. Plus its simple to navigate, has reminders and keeps me connected to my faith. Its helped me in my quest to be a better person. Highly recommend
So amazinggg
Really helps with guidance if you feel stuck and don’t know what to talk to God about. Strongly recommend!!

Why I built this
I'm a software engineer based in Berlin. I noticed something while watching the people around me: everyone was glued to their phones, even during the moments meant for something more meaningful. Christians who wanted to pray were fighting the same battle against notifications, social media, and endless scrolling. The tools out there either ignored the distraction problem entirely or had nothing to do with prayer. Nothing connected both. So I built Pray Focus from scratch. No venture capital, no outside pressure. Every feature comes from real conversations with real users. I ship updates based on what people actually need, not what looks good on a pitch deck.
