About VerseGate: Bible App Blocker
Your phone gets the first word most mornings. VerseGate puts one thing in front of it. Choose the apps that take the most from you. From midnight they stay locked — and they open when you've read the day's verse and answered three short questions about it. Not a reminder you can swipe away. A door. ONE VERSE A DAY Not a feed, not a plan to fall behind on. One verse, chosen to match how you say you're feeling that morning, with a plain-English explanation of what it means. No verse repeats until you've seen them all. YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY READ IT Three questions, generously marked. Get one wrong and it shows you the verse again with a hint — you are never stuck, never told off, and never locked out for getting scripture wrong. But you can't tap through it either. BUILT TO BE KEPT Hold your mornings and the app opens up: new gate scenes drawn from the passages themselves — first light, the shepherd's valley, the burning bush, the empty tomb. Earned by showing up, never bought. A VERSE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Home and Lock Screen widgets carry a short verse through the day, at whatever rhythm you choose — hourly, a few times a day, or once. WHEN YOU MISS A DAY Your streak freezes rather than vanishing, if you've earned a freeze. Miss without one and it resets — because a streak that can't break isn't measuring anything. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS VerseGate never sees what you use your phone for. Screen Time permission is used for one thing: putting a lock in front of the apps you picked. Nothing you do leaves your device, because there is nowhere for it to go — the app makes no network requests at all. Calls, messages and alarms are never blocked. An emergency unlock is always there.
