How can we help?

No. BibleShield never reads, records, or transmits your screen content or anything you type. Its permissions are used only to detect which app is open so the gate can appear at the right moment.

The Accessibility Service lets BibleShield instantly detect when a blocked app opens so the reading gate appears right away. Usage Access is used for your reading stats and streak history. Both are used only to detect which app is open — never to read what’s on your screen.

Yes. You can read inside BibleShield’s built-in reader, or choose your favorite installed Bible app as your “sanctuary.” If no Bible app is found, the built-in reader is always available.

BibleShield is a gentle guardrail, not a lockbox. You can pause blocking for a set period, or skip a single session. The goal is to give you a moment to pause — not to trap you.

BibleShield ships two public-domain translations bundled on your device: KJV (King James Version) and ASV (American Standard Version).

Yes. All scripture ships bundled on your device — BibleShield works fully offline, with no network connection required.

BibleShield is designed to be lightweight. It only reacts when a blocked app opens, so it has minimal impact on battery life.

Open Settings and choose “Stop Daily Blocking,” or remove apps from your blocked list. You can also revoke the Accessibility and Usage Access permissions in your Android settings to fully disable it.
