How it works

Daily Flame uses Apple’s Screen Time. The apps you choose really stay closed, until the time you set.

  1. Block now

    Choose the apps that steal the most of your time and block them for 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours, or until 7 AM tomorrow.

    The app’s home with Block now: buttons for 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours, Until 7:00 AM tomorrow and Block until 7:41 PM.
  2. Or put it on a schedule

    Create blocks that repeat, like 10 PM to 7 AM for sleep or 9 AM to 6 PM for work.

    Schedules screen with two blocks on: Night, 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM, every day, and Work, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday.
  3. Tried to open one? Pray instead of scrolling

    Instead of Instagram, you see an invitation to pray. The prayer counts toward your streak but doesn’t open the app: the block stays on until the time you set.

    How are you today? screen, with the options Grateful, Anxious, Sad, Tired, Tempted, At peace and Unfocused.
  4. Really need it? End it calmly

    You can end a block early, with a confirmation and a 10-second wait. Your schedules still apply and your streak doesn’t change.

    End the block now? screen, with the buttons Keep the block and End now, counting down 8 seconds.

Prayers for sleep

At bedtime, trade the last video for a prayer from the Word. The audio keeps playing with the screen locked, and the timer turns it off for you.

Every day of prayer brightens the sky

Your streak is a real sunrise, from first light to full day. Milestones never go back: a day without prayer doesn’t erase what you built.

  1. First light 1 day
  2. Dawn 7 days
  3. Sunrise 21 days
  4. Morning 40 days
  5. Bright day 100 days

“You are the light of the world.”

Questions

Does praying unblock the apps?

No. The prayer counts toward your streak, but the block stays on until the time you set. The idea is to trade that minute of feed for a minute with God.

What if I need to open a blocked app?

In the app, tap End now. It asks you to confirm and waits 10 seconds. Your next schedules still apply.

Does the app see what I do on my phone?

No. Blocking uses Apple’s Screen Time and happens on your iPhone. Daily Flame doesn’t know which apps you chose or what you do in them.

Do I need an account?

Yes, just your email. The account keeps a copy of your progress, so you don’t lose your streak when you change iPhones.

Does it work on Android or iPad?

No. Daily Flame is only for iPhone, with iOS 17 or later.

Is it for Catholics or Protestants?

Both. The prayers and verses come from the Bible, for Christians of any church.

How do I cancel Premium?
