## Description

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.

## Review summary

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.
