One chapter before you scroll. Our phones easily capture our attention through notifications, social media, and endless scrolling. Often, this happens before we've spent time in God's Word. What if your phone could help you put the Bible first? First Word helps you turn away from digital distractions and build a daily Bible-reading habit. By temporarily blocking distracting apps, it encourages you to put your phone down, open your physical Bible, and give God's Word your undivided attention. HOW FIRST WORD WORKS 1. Choose your distractions. Select the apps and websites you want to put on hold. 2. Set your morning rhythm. Choose when First Word begins protecting your attention. 3. Open your physical Bible. Take a moment to pray, then read one chapter. 4. Mark your reading complete. Your distracting apps unlock, and First Word remembers your progress. MADE FOR A SIMPLER HABIT • One chapter a day • Read from your physical Bible • Automatic app blocking • Gentle reading reminders • Flexible Read Later options • Simple reading progress and history • No streaks, points, or unnecessary distractions First Word isn't designed to keep you on your phone. It's designed to help you put it down. Because the goal isn't more screen time. It's more time in God's Word.
