Prayhold
Prayhold icon: a door ajar with light coming through

Pray to unlock your apps.

Pause. Pray. Choose.

Prayhold puts the apps you choose on hold. When you reach for one, you get a short prayer first — then you decide whether to go in.

Coming soon to the App Store

1

Pause

Pick the apps that pull at you. Prayhold holds them with Apple's Screen Time, right on your iPhone.

2

Pray

Open one and you'll meet a prayer that fits the moment — written for the day, or quoted from the Bible.

3

Choose

Say Amen, then decide: keep the quiet, or open the app for a while. No guilt, just a pause with God.

Private by design

Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no server, no tracking. Prayhold never learns which apps you chose — Apple's Screen Time keeps that hidden even from us. Read the privacy policy.

Made by one person

Prayhold is built by a Christian developer in Warsaw who wanted a gentler way to break the scroll. Questions, ideas, or a prayer request? Write to support@prayhold.com.
