Seek First.
Unlock your day.
Build a daily Book of Mormon reading habit — your selected apps stay locked until you finish. Put God first, then move forward.
Simple by design
Three steps to a better morning
Nephi's Gate uses iOS Screen Time to hold the line on your habits — no willpower required.
Set your reading goal
Choose how many minutes you want to read each day — 2, 5, 10, or 15+ minutes. Every minute counts.
Select apps to lock
Pick the social media, games, or distractions you want blocked until after your scripture study.
Read. Then move forward.
Open Nephi's Gate each morning, complete your reading, and watch the gate open. Your day is unlocked.
Everything you need
Built to help the habit stick
Combine accountability, tracking, and the full text of the Book of Mormon — all in one place.
Daily reading timer
An animated progress ring tracks your session in real time. Hit your goal and the gate swings open.
App blocking via Screen Time
Uses Apple's official Family Controls API to keep selected apps locked until your reading is done — no hacks, no workarounds.
Built-in Book of Mormon reader
Read right inside the app, or jump out to Gospel Library or the official Book of Mormon app — your choice.
Streak tracking
Watch your current streak grow. See your personal best. Consistency compounds — one day at a time.
Daily reset on your schedule
Configure when apps re-lock each day so the gate closes again at midnight, 6 AM, or whenever your morning starts.
Gentle reminders
Set an optional daily reminder to open the gate before your day slips away from you.
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Matthew 6:33
