## What is Prayer First?

Description:
Prayer First helps you put Scripture before the scroll.

Choose the apps or categories that usually pull your attention first thing in the morning. During your prayer window, Prayer First helps hold those distractions behind a simple shield until you complete a Scripture-first action: open a supported Bible app, use a physical Bible timer, or write a short journal line.

Prayer First is built for Christians who want a calmer first reach in the morning. It is not another Bible app. It is the gate before the feed.

Features:
- Select distracting apps or categories to protect during your chosen window
- Unlock through Bible app time, a physical Bible timer, or a short journal entry
- Keep a local morning journal with optional Bible page photos
- Use one protected app/category slot for free
- Earn extra protected app slots through referral activation
- Upgrade for expanded app slots, custom lock windows, and power features
- Built around Apple’s Screen Time privacy model on iPhone

Privacy:
Your journal entries and optional photos stay on your device. On iPhone, selected apps are represented by Apple Screen Time tokens. Prayer First does not upload your selected app list to our servers.

Prayer First is a personal attention and habit tool. It is not a medical device, counseling service, addiction-treatment product, child-surveillance product, or impossible-to-bypass lock. You stay in control of permissions and can change or disable the setup in device settings.
