Scripture before screen time. BibleTime is a Christian app designed to help you put God's Word before digital distraction. Before opening the apps that usually pull your attention away, BibleTime creates a sacred pause: write a Bible chapter, spend time in Scripture, or pray first. Instead of reaching straight for social media, you begin with something meaningful. Over time, every chapter you complete becomes part of your own personal Bible, and every prayer becomes part of your personal prayer book. Less mindless scrolling. More Scripture. More prayer. More time with God. WHY BIBLETIME • Write before you scroll – Pause distracting apps until you complete your Bible chapter or prayer.

About

DevotionTime

Read full description

You open your phone in the morning meaning to read the Bible. Twenty minutes later, you're still on Instagram. That's not a lack of faith. It's your phone. DevotionTime exists to solve exactly that: it blocks distractions until you finish your time with God, turning your devotional from "if I have time" into a real habit, backed by a reminder that works and a consequence that actually helps. HOW IT WORKS Prayer Alarm Set the time for your devotional. Right when it matters, DevotionTime calls you, before the rest of your phone gets the chance to. Block Apps During Your Devotional Choose which apps to block (social media, games, whatever distracts you most). Until your devotional is done, they're out of reach. You decide how long the block stays active. A Complete Devotional, Every Day Each session has four parts: a guided prayer, the verse of the day, a reflection, and space for your own personal prayer, written in your own words. Streaks and Spiritual Milestones Track how many days in a row you've kept your time with God. Unlock milestones like Seed (7 days), Sprout (21 days), 40 Days, Living Flame (100 days), and A Year of Grace (365 days), and share your progress with anyone you choose. Visual History See your progress on a weekly heatmap, with stats on words written and time spent in prayer. WHO IT'S FOR For anyone who's tried to keep a consistent devotional and knows the problem was never a lack of willingness. It was the phone winning before intention became habit. PRIVACY FIRST DevotionTime requires no account, no name, email, or phone number. Your personal prayers, alarms, and history stay stored only on your device. FREE AND PREMIUM The free plan lets you try the app with 1 alarm and limited devotional sessions. Premium unlocks unlimited alarms, the full year of devotional content, app blocking, and future features. Start today. Finish your time with God before you open anything else.
