A simple idea.

Lock the noise

Pick the apps that pull you in. Set a daily limit or a schedule. When time's up, the app locks.

Read to unlock

A short Tehilim chapter, matched to your focus and mood, is all it takes to open the gate.

Build the habit

Daily streaks, gentle notifications, and progress through all 150 chapters — without guilt.

Every scroll becomes a prayer.

Five small features working together to turn idle minutes into meaningful ones.

PrayerLock turns screen time into Tehilim

Turn screen time into Psalms

Your daily screen time becomes a quiet invitation to pray, not a source of guilt.

Schedule lock windows for distracting apps

Block apps during prayer times

Schedule daily lock windows — mornings, Shabbat, or whenever you want the phone to quiet down.

Pick a prayer focus that matches your life

Pray for what matters most

Choose your focus — healing, protection, family, parnassah — and Tehilim chapters are matched for you.

Read Psalms verse by verse

Read Psalms verse by verse

Beautiful Hebrew with English side-by-side. Read at your own pace. No pressure, no judgment.

Journal a short reflection after each prayer

Journal your reflections

A line or two after each prayer. Look back and see how far you've come.

How it works

Three steps. That's the whole flow.

1
Choose apps to monitor

Choose the apps

Pick the apps that steal your attention. Set a daily limit or a schedule.

2
Apps locked with a Tehilim prompt

Apps lock when the limit hits

A gentle lock screen replaces the endless feed. A verse waits for you.

3
Pray and unlock

Pray, reflect, unlock

Read a chapter. Write a line. The app opens and you go on with your day.

Neilah — Yom Kippur
Open for us the gate, at the time of the closing of the gate — for the day has turned.
— פתח לנו שער, בעת נעילת שער
