BibleGate vs Sermon Sidekick

You check your phone 144 times a day. You spend 5+ hours scrolling. But how much time do you spend in Scripture? BibleGate flips the script: your distracting apps stay locked until you've spent time in the Bible. No willpower needed, just a simple trade. Read God's Word, earn screen time. HOW IT WORKS • Choose which apps to block (social media, games, whatever distracts you) • Read Scripture and answer short questions to earn minutes in your Time Bank • Your apps unlock when you have time available • Time runs out?

BibleGate creates a simple system: want to scroll? Read first. We keep earned screen time modest on purpose. The goal is more time in God's Word, not more time on your feed. It's not about guilt; it's about putting God first, every day. The average person will spend 21 years of their life on screens. What if some of that went to Scripture instead? —— SUBSCRIPTION PLANS BibleGate is free with full Bible reading, Verse of the Day, Chapter of the Week, app blocking, streak tracking, and the prayer board.
