Lantern: Quiet Time, Say Amen

CATIO APPS

About this app

Less doomscrolling, more quiet time with God. Say Amen, keep your streak, get a daily reminder. Lantern locks the apps you pick until you pray.

Lantern is a short devotional that stands between you and your phone. Choose the apps that pull you away from God. They stay locked until you finish your quiet time, which takes about two minutes.

HOW IT WORKS
• Tell Lantern how you feel: anxious, tired, grateful, tempted, lonely, far from God, joyful, or in need of guidance.
• Read a Bible verse chosen for that mood.
• Pray a short written prayer, so you have words even when you don't know what to say.
• Hold the button to say Amen. Your apps unlock until the next day.

BUILT TO LAST
• Locks the apps you choose, so screen time starts with God instead of the feed.
• A daily streak, with one grace day each week, so one slip doesn't erase your progress.
• Set the time your new day begins (for example 4:00 AM or after work).

BIBLE TRANSLATIONS
• King James Version (KJV) or World English Bible in English.
• Reina-Valera 1909 in Spanish. The whole app works in English and Spanish.

HOW THE LOCK WORKS
On Android, Lantern uses an Accessibility service only to notice when a locked app opens and show your devotional instead. It does not read your screen content, messages or passwords. You can turn it off at any time.

FREE AND PRIVATE
Lantern is completely free, with no ads, no subscriptions and no account. We don't track you and no data is collected: your moods, streak and settings stay on your device.

QUESTIONS
Do I need to sign up? No. Open the app, pick your apps and start.
What if I skip once? Your weekly grace day keeps your streak alive.
