Ruach - Christian Screen Time

A bookmark for time with God.

We live in the most distracted time in human history due to mainly one thing: our phones. Constant notifications, scrolling, and digital noise make it harder than ever to actually be present with God and hear His voice, but Ruach helps create space for Him. Ruach is an iOS app paired with a physical bookmark containing an NFC chip that helps you create intentional time with God through a digital fast by blocking distracting apps. When you're ready to be in the Word, tap your bookmark. Your selected apps lock until you tap your bookmark again.

The bookmark lives in your Bible, like any other bookmark. Opening Scripture and starting your time with God become one action. Your phone goes quiet, creating space for the Lord's voice to be heard.

Use Ruach for whatever the moment is for:

• Morning devotion. Tap before bed, put the bookmark in your Bible, and your Bible becomes the key to your phone the next morning.
• Quiet time while in the Word. Tap when you open your Bible and spend time with God without your phone pulling you away.
• Sunday services, small groups, and Bible studies. Be present where you are, not where your phone wants to take you.
• Lent, Advent, Sabbath. Use Ruach for whole seasons of slowing down with God.

FOR CAMPS AND MINISTRIES

Ruach gives institutions a tool to support their students' formation, during camp and after. Students pair to a leader's card for the week, keeping phones locked and focus on God. On the last day, they re-pair to their own personal bookmark and take the practice home. The transformation camp creates doesn't have to fade when students leave. The bookmark in their Bible keeps it alive.

Whether it's twenty minutes or a whole week, it's the same digital fast. Tap to begin. Tap to end.

WHAT RUACH IS NOT

Ruach is not a habit tracker. There are no streaks, no points, no shame for missing a day.

Ruach collects no data. No accounts. No analytics. No third parties. Everything stays on your device.
