Pray Focus

Hey everyone! I just launched version 2.0 of my app, Pray Focus, on the App Store.

I’m a software engineer building this as a bootstrapped indie project. There’s no team behind it. Just me trying to build something useful for the Christian community.

The idea came from a problem I struggled with personally. I noticed how easy it was to get pulled into phone distractions and endless scrolling, and how that often pushed prayer aside. When I looked for apps that help Christians reduce phone distractions while encouraging prayer, I couldn’t really find anything that solved that problem well. So I decided to build one.

Pray Focus helps Christians build a daily prayer habit by locking distracting apps until a short prayer session is completed. Instead of opening social media right away, users pause for a few minutes of prayer and reflection.

The app includes:

• Guided prayers organized by topics like gratitude, peace, and guidance

• A free prayer mode where users can pray in their own words

• A prayer journal and mood tracker for reflection

• Streaks and gentle reminders to encourage consistency

The goal is simple: reclaim a small part of daily screen time and turn it into a moment of spiritual focus.

Since this is a solo indie project, all feedback, bug reports, and ideas go directly to me. I’d love to hear what you think.
