With the endless feed
You check the time and open a feed while still in bed.
Lunch goes by between short videos.
In line at the store, you scroll without remembering what you saw.
The day ends, and the free minutes went to the scroll.
Make your next scroll a prayer.
Pilg brings Scripture into the scroll on your phone. Scroll the Bible verse by verse, read the day's prayer and meditation, and lock the apps that take your time until you pray.

Why Pilg exists
You pick up your phone to read one message, and an hour later you are still scrolling and cannot remember what you saw.
Pilg puts a passage, a prayer and a meditation in that same scroll.
The same day, two waysThe same breaks in the day, used for something else.
With Pilg
Your chosen apps close, and the day's passage opens first.
The apps close again, and a two minute prayer opens them until 18:00.
In line at the store, you read the day's meditation.
The day counts on your path, and Pilg moves one stretch forward.
How it worksWhat you do in Pilg each day, step by step.
-
1
Scroll the day's feed
Open Pilg and scroll up, like any feed. A passage, a prayer, a meditation, a quote and a mission come one per screen, chosen for your tradition.
-
2
Scroll through the Bible
Tap Bible, and each verse fills the screen. Scroll up for the next one or open the whole chapter. Pilg keeps your place, so you continue where you stopped.
-
3
Pick the apps and the times
Mark the apps you want to use less and the times they close. The list stays on your iPhone, and Apple does not show Pilg which apps they are.
-
4
The shield waits for a prayer
At each time, Screen Time covers those apps with the Pilg shield. The rest of the phone works as usual.
-
5
A short prayer opens them
Tap Pray now, and Pilg opens with a two minute prayer. When you finish, your apps stay open until the next time.

Each day moves you forward
Every day you finish counts on the pilgrim's way. Pilg walks one stretch, and every five days you reach a station with its verse.
Everything that fits in a breakFive short items a day, chosen for your tradition, to read in a few minutes.
The daily feed
A passage, a prayer, a meditation, a quote and a mission each day, one per screen, so the day's five take a few minutes.
The full Bible
4 translations in English, verse by verse or the whole chapter, with highlights and notes, so you keep reading where you stopped.
Your tradition
The tradition you pick changes the translation, the prayers and the explanations, so the app speaks the way your church does. You can change it any time.
The lock, if you want it
The apps you pick close at your times, so the scroll waits for a prayer first. Phone, Messages, Maps and Camera only close if you mark each one.
The emergency exit
It always opens the app on screen for 15 minutes, so you never get stuck.
A mission every day
A small task to live the day's passage, so the reading leaves the screen.
Saved items
Save passages and prayers with one tap, so you find them again later.
Scroll Until Paradise
The pilgrim's wayScroll Until Paradise is the full name of Pilg, because each day you scroll through the readings counts on a way that ends in Paradise. Each completed day moves you one stretch forward, and in 30 days you pass six stations, each with its verse.

Questions and answers
Is it free?
Pilg has no free tier. The annual plan starts with 3 free days, and the monthly plan is charged on the day you subscribe. The lock and the prayer, reading or meditation that open your apps stay free, even without a subscription.
I already have a Bible app.
Most Bible apps open on a chapter. Pilg opens on a feed with one item per screen, chosen for your tradition, and the full Bible is one tap away.
I do not have much time.
The five items of the day take a few minutes. You can read them in line at the bank or before you open another app.
Will the lock block my calls or messages?
No. Phone, Messages, Maps and Camera only close if you mark each one, and there is always an emergency exit that opens the app on screen for 15 minutes.
Does Pilg see which apps I use?
No. The apps you pick stay on your iPhone, and Apple's Screen Time does not show Pilg which apps they are.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. Delete account in the Me tab deletes your account and everything stored with it right away.
Is there an Android version?
For now Pilg is only for iPhone, because the lock uses Apple's Screen Time.
Still have a question? See the help page or write to [email protected].
