Scripture Firstby JCBSN
Two iPhones showing the Scripture First lock screen over Instagram and today’s Bible reading in the King James Version.

Scripture First.
Then everything else.

Pick the apps you open too much. When you try to open one, Scripture First shows you today’s Bible reading first. Finish the reading, and the app opens.

Mission

Scroll less. Read the Bible more.

You pick up your phone. You scroll. The Bible stays closed. That’s most of our days.

Scripture First flips it. Pick the apps you open too much. They won’t open until you read a bit of the Bible first — even just a few verses.

Do it every day and things start to change. You scroll less. You know the Bible more. It becomes the first thing you see, not the last.

FAQ

Questions, honestly asked.

  • Maybe at first — and that’s okay. Scripture First isn’t about earning anything with God. It’s just a tool you choose to put in your own way, because most of us would rather scroll than open the Word. It’s a trade you set for yourself, not a rule from us.

  • Nothing. You’re an adult. The whole point is that you want the Bible in front of you before Instagram — Scripture First just makes that easier to stick to on the days you don’t feel like it.

  • You choose which apps to put behind Scripture First. Most people pick the two or three they open too much (social, games, news). Everything else opens normally.

  • As short or long as you want. Pick a Proverb a day (under a minute) or work through the whole Bible in a year. Available in the KJV, NLT, and NKJV.

  • Yes. Honest answer — because we have to eat, and the servers, App Store fees, and Bible translation licenses aren’t free. We’re not trying to get rich off Scripture. The price just keeps the lights on and the app alive.

  • Yes — all of it. Your email, your name, the apps you choose, what you read, when you read it, how often you open the app — none of it gets sold, rented, or handed to advertisers. Ever. Your reading activity stays on your phone. The waitlist email you give us is only used to tell you when the app is ready and to say hi occasionally — that’s it. We don’t need to know what you read, and we don’t want to.

  • Not yet — iOS first (iOS 17+). If you want Android, join the waitlist and we’ll know there’s demand.

Still thinking? Get on the list — it’s free and takes five seconds.
