I’ve been building Altar, an iOS app for Christians who want to reclaim their attention

The idea is simple: when you reach for an app, Altar redirects that moment into Scripture, prayer, or reflection.

the feature i'm most excited about: altar circles. basically @BeReal_App but for reading the bible

a private group of 2 to 12 friends. daily check ins, reactions, replies. no public feed, no followers, just your people making sure you actually opened the bible today

accountability beats willpower

we're building altar, a christian screen time app that makes you scan a bible passage before it unlocks a distracting app

reach for the doomscroll and instead of opening, you get scripture in the gap. want instagram? scan a verse first

sounds like friction. it is. but it's friction that actually points somewhere good, and people are cutting their screen time hard 👇

@tomiarakaki Team dinner when

[Ethan Kim @itsmeethankim]

I was opening Instagram during prayer time.

Not occasionally. Daily.

So I built an app that intercepts every distracting app with Scripture, a breath, or a 60-second prayer.

You can't open TikTok without first opening God's word.

It's called Altar.
