App Blocks Instagram Until You Read Bible

Scripture before scrolling - hard app blocking

FaithLock integrates with iOS Family Controls to create true, unbreakable app blocks. Unlike weak delay-based apps, you CANNOT access Instagram, TikTok, or other selected apps until completing your Bible quiz.

This hard blocking + Scripture requirement is the most effective combination for breaking compulsive social media habits.

How It Works

Hard Block Technology:

  1. iOS Family Controls Integration: Leverages Apple's screen time API for system-level blocking
  2. Uninstall Protection: Cannot be bypassed by deleting app
  3. Custom App Selection: You choose which apps to block (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, etc.)
  4. Scheduled Blocking: Set specific times (e.g., 9 PM - 7 AM, during work hours)
  5. Emergency Override: With intentional friction and reflection period
