## What is Sacred Hours?

Pray first. Scroll later.

Sacred Hours helps Christians turn distracting screen time into meaningful time with God.

Choose the apps that take your attention away from what matters. Sacred Hours can block those apps and encourage you to pause and pray before continuing.

Instead of opening social media on autopilot, take a moment for God first.

HOW SACRED HOURS WORKS

Choose the apps you want to block

Set your daily prayer routine

When distractions are blocked, open Sacred Hours

Spend a moment in prayer

Complete your prayer and continue your day

PRAYER BEFORE SCREEN TIME

Your phone can easily become the first thing you reach for.

Sacred Hours helps you build a different habit: prayer before scrolling.

Use app blocking to create an intentional pause between you and distracting apps, giving you space to reconnect with God before returning to your phone.

BUILD A DAILY PRAYER HABIT

Consistency matters more than perfection.

Sacred Hours helps you make prayer part of your everyday routine with:

• Daily prayer goals
• Prayer streaks
• Prayer history
• Prayer reminders
• Guided prayer sessions
• Personal prayer reflections
• App blocking for distracting apps

BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS

Choose the apps and categories that pull your attention away.

Sacred Hours uses Apple's Screen Time technology to help you temporarily restrict selected apps until your prayer goal is completed.

You stay in control of what is blocked and when.

YOUR PRAYER JOURNEY

Look back at your previous prayers and see the time you've intentionally given to God.

Your prayer history helps you recognize consistency and build a lasting habit of prayer.
