v1.2.2: a calmer, stronger pause. • A quiet moment with the verse: nothing to tap until the pause ends, with soft music (turn it off in Profile). • "Keep it locked" is now the main choice. Unlocking takes a deliberate 3-second hold. • Choose a 6, 12 or 18-second pause. 12 is the new default. • Picking the app to pause is now guided step by step. • Shorter setup. Skipped it? A "Finish setup" card on Today gets you there in 20 seconds. • A reminder 2 days before your free trial ends. • Your name is now optional, plus a new, sharper app icon. If OneVerse is helping you put Scripture before the scroll, a quick rating helps other believers find it. Thank you!
Lock the apps that steal your day behind one Bible verse. Reach for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or X and OneVerse pauses it. To get back in, you open OneVerse and read today's verse — and that app unlocks for 15 minutes. Your most distracting habit becomes a daily moment with Scripture, and your screen time starts to fall. HOW IT WORKS 1. You reach for a distracting app — it's paused, powered by Apple Screen Time. 2. You open OneVerse (or tap the notification) and read today's verse: a calm, beautiful screen and one breath. 3. The app unlocks for 15 minutes — then it quietly locks again. Or just walk away; closing the feed is the real win. WHY ONEVERSE WORKS • Your own habit is the trigger — no remembering to open yet another app. • A real pause, not a tap-through. Strict mode is on by default, so the verse — not a shortcut — is the way through. You can loosen it, but you have to mean it. • Calm, never punishing. A warm, editorial reading room — not a red "BLOCKED" wall. • Every scroll you skip is a small win, counted along with the minutes you take back. READ THE WHOLE BIBLE, ONE VERSE AT A TIME • Three complete Bibles, all free: King James Version (KJV), Berean Standard Bible (BSB) and World English Bible (WEB). Switch anytime. • Per-book progress across all 66 books, so the goal is always in sight. • Your place is never lost, even across devices — private iCloud sync, no account, no server. DAILY DEVOTIONALS & READING PLANS • Topical plans for real life: Peace over Anxiety, A Grateful Heart, Strength & Courage, On Love, Rest for the Weary, and the Sermon on the Mount. • Start "Peace over Anxiety" free. BUILD A STREAK YOU DON'T WANT TO BREAK • A reading streak for every day you spend a moment in Scripture. • A streak freeze, so one busy day doesn't reset you to zero. • Milestones to celebrate — your first verse, a seven-day streak, a finished book, 100 scrolls skipped. SCRIPTURE ON YOUR HOME & LOCK SCREEN • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your current verse and move with you as you read. SEE YOUR TIME COME BACK • Scrolls skipped, verses read, and estimated time reclaimed from the feed. • A gentle morning verse and evening recap — two reminders a day at most, never spam. SAVE & SHARE WHAT SPEAKS TO YOU • Heart any verse to keep it in your saved collection. • Share beautiful verse cards with friends and family. • Find verses, plans, and favorites right from Spotlight search.
