## What is SoulGuard?

"Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life." Proverbs 4:23

Start your day with God, before anything else.

SoulGuard keeps the apps on your phone locked until you finish a short morning routine: read Scripture, sit quietly with it, and pray. No willpower needed. Open SoulGuard, spend real time with God, and your day opens up.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose which apps stay open during a lock, like Phone, Messages, and Maps. Everything else waits.
2. Each morning your phone meets you with a quiet lock instead of an endless scroll.
3. Read, meditate, and pray at the pace you set. Your apps unlock when you're done.

GO DEEPER IN THE WORD
- Read the whole chapter, not just the verse of the day.
- Compare translations side by side: Berean Standard Bible, World English Bible, King James, and over a thousand more.
- Choose your preferred version. Chapters you open are saved to read offline.

MAKE IT STICK
- Build a morning streak and reach gentle milestones.
- Share today's verse or your streak as a clean image with a personal note.
- Keep a private journal for what God stirs in you. It's encrypted on your device.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
SoulGuard works fully offline. No account, no sign-up. Nothing about your app usage is ever collected, sold, or shared.

Start tomorrow with God, not your phone.

Note: SoulGuard uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) to shield the apps you choose. You can change or remove your selection anytime in Settings.
