Behold: God First

Pray before you scroll. Distracting apps are blocked until you pray. Build a prayer habit and talk with God daily.

Pray before you scroll. Behold is a prayer habit app. It helps you meet God first, before your phone pulls you away. When it's time to pray, Behold locks the apps that distract you — like Instagram and TikTok. They stay locked until you finish one simple Prayer.

START YOUR DAY WITH GOD

Most of us grab our phone before we say a word to God. Behold breaks that habit. Set a Prayer Time for the morning, and your distracting apps stay locked until you pray. No scrolling first just a quiet moment with God before the day gets loud.

BLOCK APPS UNTIL YOU PRAY

Behold uses Apple's Screen Time to put a real block on the apps you pick. The only way to unlock them is to pray. You can't dismiss it like a filter or skip it like a timer. It's a built-in pause that puts God first, every time you reach for your phone.

BUILD A DAILY PRAYER HABIT

Every Prayer you finish fills in your Prayer Ring on the Presence screen. It gives you a simple, honest picture of your day: what's happening now, what's coming up, and what's done. Miss a Prayer Time? It stays open and ready. It's never marked in red. It's never called a failure. Behold runs on grace, not guilt. Every day is a fresh chance to come back and pray.

HOW IT WORKS

Set Prayer Times that fit your real life: morning, midday, evening, whenever you want to meet God. When one arrives, your apps lock. To unlock them, you pray. The P.R.A.Y. steps guide you:

• Praise — start by giving thanks • Repent — be honest with God • Ask — bring what's on your heart • Yield — give the moment to Him

Each Prayer takes about 60 seconds. You end it the way prayer always ends with "Amen." That's it. No long reading to get through. No guilt if you're in a hurry. Just a real moment with God, every time your phone tries to pull you away.

MADE FOR REAL LIFE, NOT PERFECTION

Behold gives you two ways to guard your time, on top of your Prayer Times:

BOUNDARIES are daily limits you set on specific apps. Say you give Instagram 30 minutes a day. When you hit that limit, the app locks. To open it again, you pray. It's not a lockout for the rest of the day it's a gentle pause that puts prayer between you and the next scroll.

PRACTICES are blocks of time you set aside like during work, church, or dinner. During that window, the apps you choose stay locked. When the window ends, they open on their own. And if you need in during that time, you pray to unlock a few minutes.

Both are built on the same idea: your phone should wait until you've met with God. And because the whole point is grace, not shame, there are no red marks, no guilt, and no "you failed" messages anywhere. A missed Prayer Time is never lost. It's just still there, waiting for you.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE BEHOLD

People who use Behold often say the same thing: they stop grabbing their phone first thing in the morning and reach for God instead. Many say their screen time drops by hours a day. They feel less anxious. And best of all, they actually pray every day instead of just meaning to and grow closer to God.

PERFECT FOR YOU IF...

• Scrolling is crowding out prayer, family, or the things that matter • You want accountability with grace, not guilt • You want to stop reaching for your phone before God • You want a daily prayer habit that actually sticks

Behold isn't just another app blocker with prayer added on. It's a full prayer habit system — Prayer Times, a Prayer Ring, Boundaries, and Practices — all built on one idea: God first. Pray first. Scroll later.
