Free on iPhone
Looking for a free Prayer Lock alternative?
As of November 12, 2026, Prayer Lock is no longer in the iPhone App Store, and on Android every feature needs a subscription. If you want the same habit on iPhone without paying, Shield of Faith does the core job for free: your distracting apps stay locked each morning until you have read Scripture or prayed.
We are glad any tool helps people pray more. Ours is just free.

Checked November 12, 2026 from public store listings: the Prayer Lock Google Play listing and Apple's App Store lookup for app id 6744703926 (no result). “See listing” means we could not confirm it. Prayer Lock is a trademark of its owner; we are not affiliated with it.
Questions
- Is Prayer Lock still on the iPhone?
- As of November 12, 2026, Prayer Lock is not listed in the Apple App Store: its App Store page returns "not found" and Apple's search lookup returns no result in the US, UK or Canada. It is still on Google Play for Android.
- What does Shield of Faith do?
- During a morning window you set, the apps you choose stay locked until you complete today’s Bible reading, a prayer, either, or both. Then they open for the rest of the day.
- I have an Android phone. Can I use Shield of Faith?
- Not yet. Shield of Faith is built on Apple Screen Time and is iPhone only. The Sovereign Logos Android app has the Bible, daily readings and audio, without the Shield.
