Most faith-based app blockers are iPhone-only. Prayer Guard was built for Android first: choose the apps to guard, and every launch is intercepted with a Bible verse, a breathing pause, and a prayer before it opens.

“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10
Android's built-in Digital Wellbeing timers are easy to dismiss — you tap "Ignore limit" and you're scrolling again in three seconds. Secular app blockers only say no. Prayer Guard gives the impulse somewhere better to go: Scripture, breath, and prayer. Friction plus meaning beats friction alone.
Prayer Guard detects when a guarded app launches and shows the pause screen instantly — Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, games, anything you choose.
Protect mornings for devotions, block social media during work hours, or set a full Sabbath schedule. You decide when the guard is up.
Flip on Hard Block per app and prayer becomes the only way in — no skip, no grace window, no negotiating with yourself.
Download free from Google Play and open the app.
Prayer Guard asks for the Android permissions needed to detect and pause guarded apps. Everything stays on your device.
Select which apps to guard and when. Add Hard Block to any app where you want prayer to be the only key.
From now on, opening a guarded app starts with a verse, a breath, and a prayer — then the choice is yours.
