Description
You wake up. You grab your phone. Twenty minutes of Instagram later, you still haven't opened your Bible. Tomorrow you'll do better. You don't.
Scripture First fixes that.
Built for Christians who want to put God first but lose every morning to their phones.
Pick the apps that pull you in. Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, games, whatever it is. Lock them until you read. When you try to open one, your phone tells you to read the Bible first.
Then your apps unlock for the day.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps you want to block.
2. Pick a Bible reading plan or build your own.
3. Open Scripture First. Read.
4. Your apps unlock. Go about your day.
BUILD ANY PLAN YOU WANT
Read all of Proverbs in 6 days. Read 15 minutes a day until you finish John. Read the Bible in a year. Or pick one of the plans we built for you. The Gospels, Psalms, whatever fits your life.
You set the goal. You set the pace. The app holds you to it.
READ WITH HELP
Tap any verse to get a clearer explanation. See related verses. Look up the original Greek or Hebrew. Go as deep as you want, or just read.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You open Instagram before you open the Bible.
You've tried to read every day and failed every time.
You want a plan that fits your life, not a 365-day program someone else made.
You're tired of fighting your phone with willpower alone.

Nouveautés (v1.03)
This update is all about your feedback. You told me where Scripture First was easy to bypass, where it got in the way, and where it could push you to actually stick with reading the Bible. So I went in and fixed it.Here's what's new:
Harder to bypass. The workarounds people were using to skip the verse and jump straight into Instagram? Closed. Your phone now actually holds the line for you.
Smoother reading flow. The verse experience is cleaner, faster, and easier to sit with, so you finish the reading instead of rushing through it.
Better stickiness. Small changes throughout the app to make this a habit you keep, not one you quit after week two.
Bug fixes and stability across the board.
Scripture First blocks the apps you can't put dow, Instagram, TikTok, whatever's stealing your time, until you read a verse. You set the apps. You set the reading length. Your phone enforces it. Scripture before the scroll.
Thank you for using it. Every update gets better because of the people on the other side telling me what's broken. Keep the feedback coming.
