Torah First vs Shemanu

Pause before distracting apps. Torah First helps you guard apps, websites, and categories until you complete a short prayer. When you try to open a protected app, Torah First brings you back to pray first, then starts a timed unlock window. It is built for people who want screen time control without making their phone unusable. With Torah First you can: • Protect apps with prayer-first unlocks • Keep Brick Mode on by default • Guard apps, categories, and websites • Set schedules for mornings, evenings, focus hours, or all-day blocking • Track streaks, pickups, and prayer unlocks • View weekly history and reclaimed time • Use emergency unlock windows when needed Torah First helps you pause before the apps that pull you off course. An active subscription is required to use app guarding, prayer unlocks, Brick Mode, schedules, streaks, and insights. The free download includes onboarding and setup. Pricing may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings after purchase. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
