AlmaLumen helps you put God first in the moments you would normally scroll. Choose the apps that pull you away, and they stay gently locked until you pause to pray. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your distracting apps. AlmaLumen shields them using Apple's Screen Time technology. • When you open a blocked app, you see an invitation to pause and pray instead. • Check in with how you feel, pray in your own words or with a guided prayer written for your moment, and your apps unlock. PRAYERS THAT MEET YOUR MOMENT Guided prayers are created fresh for you each time: they reflect how you are feeling right now, what you are grateful for, and what you are working toward. Every prayer follows the familiar pattern: addressed to Heavenly Father, moving from gratitude to asking, closed in the name of Jesus Christ. Nothing you share is ever stored on a server. THE SCRIPTURES, ALWAYS WITH YOU The complete English standard works, fully offline: the King James Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. Highlight verses, bookmark favorites, and receive a verse of the day. GROW, GENTLY • MyPath shows your prayer rhythm and how your relationship with God is growing over time. • Keep private lists of what you are grateful for and the righteous desires of your heart. • Lumen, a small companion of light, walks the path with you. Dismiss it any time. • Set prayer times that fit your day, morning and night. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your prayers, journal, and lists never leave your iPhone. Screen Time data stays on your device, always. We never sell your information.

The commitment-seal animation is onboarding only, so it's left out — no one updating will see it. --- Find any verse in seconds Scriptures now has a search box. Type a reference the way you would say it out loud: alma 32:21, 1 ne 3:7, d&c 4, or just moro. You do not need to know which volume it lives in. Full names or abbreviations, every book in the standard works. It is there while you are reading, too. A reminder the evening before Fast Sunday The night before, Lumen will remind you to prepare your testimony and begin your fast. It follows the calendar properly, including the months when Fast Sunday moves for general conference. Your companion, by name If you named your companion something other than Lumen, that name now appears everywhere: on your home screen, in its corner, and on your widgets. Smaller things Your drops now appear on Daily Service, so you can see them where you earn them. The growth bar reads correctly as you approach Flame and Beacon. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-25 New: Lumen's Corner, a home screen widget showing your companion's room and how far your prayer journey has grown. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-20 New: Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.
