Screen control & Daily Prayer

Features & Capabilities

Holy Focus is the first Christian screen-time extension that replaces distraction with daily prayer. It doesn't just block apps; it invites reflection with handpicked prayers, Bible verses, and faith-based icons when you reach a blocked app.

With features like app and website blocking, time-slot and usage-based limits, 300+ icons/prayers/verses, a daily prayer journey, and privacy-first design using the Apple Screen Time API, Holy Focus helps you build a rhythm of prayer and focus. It tracks your growth, integrates with iPhone Shortcuts, and encourages spiritual discipline in a digital world.

User Reviews

Users praise Holy Focus for tying blocking to prayer and Scripture, offering strong customization and a habit-forming, God-centered routine. The app is seen as affordable and effective at reducing distractions, with features like on-demand prayer during unlocks and short verses. Repeated concerns center on monetization: persistent premium prompts, limited free use, and perceived greed. A minority report initial confusion navigating the prayer section, though the experience generally improves after onboarding.

Pros

Replaces distractions with meaningful content by weaving prayer and Scripture into the workflow, helping focus on God.
Adds prayer when you try to access a blocked app, creating a purposeful detour rather than a pure block.
High level of customization and control over when, what to block (times, days, apps, websites).
Helps form a daily routine and habit, bringing a God-centered rhythm to everyday use.
Cost-effective compared to competitors (e.g., about 1/3 the price of Opal) and overall good value.

Cons

Frequent paywalls and premium subscription requirements, with many features gated behind a paid tier.
Perceived greed or money-driven approach that clashes with its Christian focus and messaging.
Onboarding can be confusing at first, especially around the prayer features, leading to initial frustration.

You try to open the app n literally all you get it with is “get the premium version last offer” and you can’t even exit it and after you wait a whole minute thinking your going to be able to use the app you get hit with another pay wall. thought this was made by christian’s and not people of greed

I am tired of seeing these “Christian” apps who claimed they are trying to help with specific things. Help reduce screen time, block websites, essentially help Christians be better. And then they ask for money to do so. It’s worth flipping tables. This is sad, shame on the developers.

It’s a really cool app and it let me do everything for an introduction and then hit me with a subscription plan screen. it didn’t even have a free version and i don’t hav the kind of money to pay for apps.
