Your phone gets your first hour. God gets what's left. That isn't a willpower problem. It's a design problem, and DuoFaith fixes it by removing the choice. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that steal your attention 2. Pick the time they should lock each day 3. Each morning they stay shielded until you read 4. Finish a three-minute passage, reflection and prayer, and everything unlocks 5. Keep your streak going, one morning at a time Calls, messages and maps always stay open. It is never a trap. A REAL BLOCK, NOT A TIMER DuoFaith uses Apple's own Screen Time controls to genuinely shield the apps you choose. There is no ignore button and nothing to swipe away. The block is the reminder. The devotional is the key. DO IT ALONE, OR DO IT TOGETHER DuoFaith works perfectly on its own. You do not need anyone else. But if you want a partner in it, Couples Mode links two phones with a six-digit code. Neither one unlocks until you have both been in the Word. You can see whether your partner has read yet, and send one gentle nudge if they have not. No shortcuts. No unlocking early because you had a busy morning. That is the point. It works for married couples, engaged couples, dating couples, or any two people who want to keep each other honest. WHAT YOU GET - Screen Time Locking. Uses Apple's own Screen Time controls to shield the apps you choose. - A Fresh Devotional Daily. A new passage, a reflection question and a prayer, every day. - Streak Tracking. Watch your consistency build. - Your Lock Time. Set the hour that fits your morning. - Couples Mode. Two phones, one shared commitment, live status and nudges. - A Calm, Quiet Design. Built for a quiet time, not for another feed. WHY IT WORKS WHEN WILLPOWER DOES NOT Most of us do not skip our Bible on purpose. We just reach for the phone first, and the morning disappears. Deciding once beats deciding every day. DuoFaith makes the decision the night before, so you do not have to win the argument at 7am. And when someone else is waiting on you, you show up. That is the whole idea behind Couples Mode. START WITH A FREE TRIAL DuoFaith is free to download, and Pro begins with a free trial. Cancel any time before it ends and you will not be charged.
