About Screen Shepherd
The average person spends seven hours a day in front of a screen. How much of that goes to Scripture? ScreenShepherd changes your answer. Block the apps that take your time, and read the Bible to earn them back. No guilt, no punishments. The Bible simply comes first. HOW IT WORKS 1. Select the apps you want to block. ScreenShepherd will block them. 2. Read Scripture to unlock your blocked apps. 3. Every minute you read earns a minute you can spend in your blocked apps. 4. When that time runs out, a shield appears. Tap "Read to open" to go straight to your reading.
