About this app
What if reaching for Instagram reminded you to pray?
Pray First turns the urge to scroll into a moment with God.
Choose the apps that steal your attention. When you reach for one, Pray First can interrupt the habit with a moment to pause, pray and refocus before continuing.
DON'T SCROLL FIRST. PRAY FIRST.
Your phone constantly competes for your attention. Pray First helps you give some of that attention back to God.
And prayer itself stays free.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose distracting apps you want Pray First to interrupt
2. When you reach for one, Pray First creates a pause between impulse and action
3. Take a moment to pray and refocus on God
4. Continue your day more intentionally
Instead of hoping you'll remember to pray later, something you already do every day — reaching for your phone — can become a reminder to put God first.
DAILY PRAYER, BUILT AROUND YOU
Prayer doesn't have to be long, impressive or perfect.
Tell Pray First what's on your heart — gratitude, worry, strength, guidance, family, healing, forgiveness, temptation, work, rest, purpose or simply how you're feeling.
Pray First helps create a short Bible-rooted prayer for your current moment, paired with a relevant Bible verse.
Some days you may have a lot to say.
Other days your prayer may simply be:
"God, here I am."
Both count.
PRAYER THAT MEETS YOU WHERE DISTRACTION HAPPENS
Before the scroll.
Before another video.
Before another "quick check" becomes twenty minutes.
Before the world gets your attention again.
Pause. Pray. Then continue.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
Pray First is made for the small moments we often lose:
The first few minutes after waking up.
Waiting somewhere.

Opening social media without even thinking about it.
Those moments add up.
Pray First helps turn some of them back toward God.

A DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PHONE
Your phone doesn't have to be the enemy.
The same device that distracts you can remind you.
The same habit that takes your attention can become a cue to return to God.
You don't need another resolution to "pray more."
You need a moment to begin.
