God’s Word first, then your phone.

Morning Bread is a free iPhone app that keeps the apps you choose locked each morning until you have read today’s Bible passage.

Morning Bread Home screen: the apps are open because today’s reading is done, with John 3 and the verse of the day, Psalm 119:105.

How the morning lock works

  1. Choose your apps

    Pick the apps you reach for first, such as Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, and the time and days the lock starts.

  2. Read today’s passage

    One, two or three chapters, or the day’s part of a reading plan you set up yourself.

  3. Your apps open

    Finish reading and your apps stay open until the next morning. If you need one sooner, the emergency unlock opens your apps for 15 minutes, once a day.

You can also block apps at any other moment, with or without an end time, separate from the morning lock.

Morning lock settings in Morning Bread: the lock starts at 04:00 on every day of the week, with a daily reading of 2 chapters.

A daily goal or a reading plan of your own

Set a goal of one, two or three chapters a day, or put a plan together: choose the books, the number of days, and whether to read in order or mixed.

Miss a day and Morning Bread shows what to catch up on. A streak and a week overview keep track, without flames or badges.

Plans screen with the active plan, a button for a new reading plan and the Memorize Scripture section.

A verse for each day

Each day Home opens with a new verse of the day, shown over a still photograph.

Verse of the day on the Home screen: Psalm 119:105 in the King James Version, over a photograph of a field at sunrise.

Learn verses by heart

Choose a verse and practise it in five different ways.

Review is spaced over time: the verses you know well come back less and less often, the ones you find hard come back sooner.

Choosing a verse to learn by heart: John 3:16 in the King James Version.

Privacy

Morning Bread has no ads, no tracking and no analytics. The apps you choose to lock stay on your iPhone: Apple’s Screen Time gives the app anonymous tokens, so we cannot see which apps they are or how you use them. An account is optional and only syncs your highlights, notes, plans and progress between your devices.
