The app helps you to build a real prayer habit and spend less time scrolling on social media by blocking your distracting apps on a daily basis.

I saw friends reaching to pray and getting pulled back into a social media feed. Every app either fought distraction or talked about prayer, never both, so I built the app my friends needed.”

— Marijan Divkovic

BERLIN, BERLIN, GERMANY, August 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Most people reach for their phone to check one thing and lose 20 minutes to a feed. For Christians trying to keep a daily prayer habit, that pull is the problem: the same device meant to hold a Bible verse or a morning prayer keeps steering attention back to social media. Pray Focus, an independent Christian prayer app with a built-in app blocker, is built to break that loop by locking chosen distracting apps until the user completes a prayer. The app is available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

The idea is simple. A person chooses which apps distract them most and a time each day for those apps to lock. When that time comes, the selected apps are blocked by Pray Focus until the person open the app and prays. So the minutes that used to vanish into a feed become time in prayer instead. Streaks, milestones, and a daily Bible verse on the home screen help keep the habit going from one day to the next.

Around that core, Pray Focus offers a library of curated public-domain prayers drawn from Scripture and Church tradition across 51 topics and 5 categories, spanning the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions. One can also pray their own prayers in the Open Prayer Mode. Reflection after prayer, including mood tracking and a private journal, stays on the device and is not saved on servers. The app works offline and requires no account. Premium features add AI Bible Chat, personalized AI prayers, prayer insights, and private cloud backup to the user’s own account. The app blocker and the full prayer and verse library stay free, and new users can start a free trial.

“I saw friends reaching to pray and getting pulled back into a social media feed. Every app either fought distraction or talked about prayer, never both, so I built the app my friends needed.” said Marijan Divkovic, founder of Pyroslabs.

Pray Focus is bootstrapped and run by its solo founder, so users hear back from a person rather than a support queue. It is used by people in more than 30 countries across the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions.
