PrayLock FAQ
PrayLock is an iPhone app that locks the apps you choose until you pray. Here are straight answers about price, devices, how the lock works and how to reach us.
What is PrayLock?
PrayLock is an iPhone app that locks the apps you choose until you pray. You pick the apps or app categories, and PrayLock uses Apple's Screen Time controls to put a prayer shield in front of them. After you pray in PrayLock, they unlock.
Which devices does PrayLock work on?
PrayLock is an iPhone app and needs iOS 18.0 or later. It is not available on Android, and there is no separate iPad or Apple Watch version.
How much does PrayLock cost?
PrayLock is free to download, with in-app purchases. PrayLock requires a Pro subscription. On the US App Store (checked 20 October 2026) the in-app purchases listed are: PrayLock Pro Weekly $4.99, PrayLock Pro Annual $9.99, PrayLock Pro Annual $39.99. Prices vary by country; the price shown in the app before you buy is the one that applies.
How does the prayer lock work?
During setup you choose which apps or categories to protect and give PrayLock Screen Time permission. When you try to open a protected app, you see a PrayLock screen instead of the app. Open PrayLock and pray through a short timed prayer (30 seconds by default; you can set anything from 5 seconds to 5 minutes), and your apps unlock. You can also choose Read and pray: read three Bible verses first, then pray.
Can I read the Bible instead of scrolling?
Yes. PrayLock's Bible tab is a verse feed: the whole World English Bible, one verse per screen, and you swipe up for the next verse, the same motion as a social feed. Key passages have study notes, and you can save or share the verses that stay with you.
What is the difference between Daily Devotion and Mindful Moments?
They are PrayLock's two modes. In Daily Devotion you pray once a day and your apps stay unlocked until your daily reset time. In Mindful Moments you take a prayer break before each app session; the apps unlock for the session length you set (10 minutes by default, from 5 to 60 minutes) and then lock again. You can switch modes in Settings.
Who do I pray for?
You can pray for yourself, your loved ones or others. PrayLock lets you keep a private list of people to pray for, with optional prayer notes for each person, and offers prayer topics with Bible verses to guide you.
How do I cancel a subscription or ask for a refund?
Purchases are handled by Apple. To cancel, open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose PrayLock. Refund requests go to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
