Bible to Unlock

Read Aloud to Unlock Apps

Your kids' favorite apps open after they read the day's Bible passage aloud, from their own printed Bible.

How it works

Scripture first, then screens.

Set it up once on your child's iPhone. After that, every day starts the same simple way.

  1. You pick the apps

    Choose which games and apps stay locked until the day's reading is done.

  2. Your child reads aloud

    The app shows the day's passage reference. Your child reads it out loud from their printed Bible.

  3. The app checks the voice

    It listens to make sure the passage was read, and that it was your child reading it.

  4. Apps unlock for the day

    The chosen apps open for the amount of time you've set. Tomorrow, a new passage.

Made for families

Simple for kids. In your hands as a parent.

A voice check for each child

A minute of reading trains the app on your child's voice, so a sibling can't read for them.

Protected by a parent PIN

Settings, the app list, and manual unlocks all sit behind a PIN only you know.

Private, on the phone

Recordings and voice profiles stay on the device. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.

Free

Free to download, with nothing to sign up for. Just set it up and start reading.
