## What is Hallowed Habits?

You know how it goes. The alarm goes off, you reach for your phone, and somehow you're three videos deep before you've said one word to God.

Hallowed Habits gets in the way of that. On purpose.

It locks the apps you choose each morning until you've given God the first few minutes of your day, three small things, spoken out loud. Then the day is yours.

THE MORNING LOCK
When your day begins, the apps you pick stay gently locked until you've done three quick things out loud. It isn't there to punish you, it's there to protect the most important minutes of your day. Speak them, and your apps open. Only now the day started with God instead of the feed.

Three things, out loud:

1 — DECLARE
Speak a short declaration over your day. Anyone can narrate their stress and worst-case fears; real intention is choosing to say what's good, what's true, and what you're trusting God for, before the day has its say. Speak hope out loud, and something in you rises to meet it.

2 — SPEAK THE WORD
Say a verse of Scripture aloud. Not skimmed — said. Slow down enough to actually hear it, and it stops being words on a screen and starts shaping how you think. What you speak, you begin to carry, and it steadies you long after the morning is over.

3 — PRAY
Close in gratitude. Thanking God before anything's even gone right turns your eyes from what's missing to what you've already been given. Worry shrinks in the light of thanksgiving, and you walk into the day fuller and steadier.

Just one small routine, done first: your voice given to God before it's given to the feed.

Give it a couple of weeks. I think you'll notice the difference, and not just in your mornings.

Set the morning apart. Say it out loud. Change your life, one morning at a time.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-24

More reliable daily locks.

In rare cases iOS could quietly drop the app's daily lock schedule — usually right after an app update — and the next morning's lock wouldn't arm. This update adds three safeguards so that heals itself:

• The app now repairs a dropped schedule the moment you open it.
• A quiet reminder appears if a morning lock is ever missed, so it can't fail silently.
• The lock schedule is now checked and repaired automatically in the background, even if you don't open the app.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-14

• Fixes a bug where the morning lock could quietly stop re-arming after an app update or restart — the app now checks and restores its schedule every time it opens.
• The lock-time picker is now easy to read in Dark Mode.
• Hallowed Habits may ask for a quick rating after a milestone morning.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-28

Refined copy and a few polish touches.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-25
