Scripture before scroll.
Shepling locks the apps you choose until you finish a three-minute Scripture step each day, and a small lamb named Tovi walks the Psalm 23 path with you as you keep going.
How it works
Three minutes, then your phone is yours again
Step 1: Lock
Pick the apps that tend to swallow your mornings. Shepling pauses them with Apple's Screen Time until today's step is done.
Included in Full path, free for 7 days.

Read one verse, sit with one question, then press and hold Amen. Your apps open again the moment you do.
Today's verseThe LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psalm 23:1 BSB Step 3: Walk
Each day you finish, Tovi moves one stop along Psalm 23. Miss a day and the path simply waits; a weekly grace day keeps your streak.

Meet Tovi
A small lamb who walks the path with you
Tovi is curious, gentle and a little clumsy. Give your lamb any name you like. Every morning, Wren the bird brings the day's verse, and Tovi waits at the next stop on the path.
Tovi never sulks, scolds or keeps score of the days you missed. When you come back, the path is still there.

Who makes this
A note from the people behind Shepling
We built Shepling because our phones kept getting the first part of the morning before Scripture did. The intention was always there. The habit wasn't.
So we made the tool we wanted: the apps you choose stay closed each morning until you've spent three minutes with a verse, a question and a short prayer. Then your phone is yours again.
A few promises. Reading the Bible in Shepling will always be free. We won't sell your data or show you ads. Your reflections are yours alone. And Tovi will never make you feel guilty for a missed day; the path waits.
The Shepling team
Scripture comes from the Berean Standard Bible. For people who choose the Catholic tradition, readings from the deuterocanonical books come from the World English Bible, Catholic Edition.
FAQ
Questions
Which apps can Shepling lock?
Any app you pick from your iPhone's own list, through Apple's Screen Time. You choose them, and you can change the list whenever you like. The app lock is part of Full path, free for the first 7 days.
What happens if I miss a day?
Nothing bad. A grace day each week keeps your streak, and the path waits for you. When you come back, Tovi is right where you left off.
Which Bible translation do you use?
The Berean Standard Bible, word for word. If you choose the Catholic tradition, readings from the deuterocanonical books come from the World English Bible, Catholic Edition.
Is Shepling for my church tradition?
Shepling is for Christians of every tradition. You tell us yours when you start, and the path follows it.
Who can see my reflections?
Only you. Your flock sees your lamb, your first name and whether you have said Amen today, and nothing more.
Is there an Android version?
Not at launch. Shepling is made for iPhone.
When does Shepling launch?
