Before the Scroll
Before your phone touches your mind.
An app that holds your distractors hostage until you’ve spent ten minutes with Him. Your streak grows as a tree.
First 500 spots lock $29 lifetime. No spam.
Your phone wakes up before you do.
“It's the first thing I reach for to comfort me before I even say good morning to the Lord.”
“The algorithm was awake before I was.”
“By the time I'm done scrolling, the first hour of my day is gone.”
What it does
Three things, then it gets out of the way.
Hard block. No skip.
Pick the apps that own your morning. We close the door until you have spent time with Him. No timer trick, no emergency override that defeats the practice.
Five minutes with God.
A short, scripture-led flow: today’s verse, a reflection, a prayer. Five-minute floor. Pick a longer rhythm when you are ready.
A tree, not a streak.
Your practice is a watercolor tree that grows. Miss a day and it waits for you, scripture says so. No red numbers, no shame.
The morning loop
A practice, not a productivity app.
- 01
Pick your distractors
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, anything that owns your morning. We start with smart defaults and you adjust.

Wake up to the gate
Tap a blocked app and instead you see today’s verse, your tree, and a Begin button. There is no skip.
- 03
Five minutes, then your day
Walk through verse, reflection, prayer. The tree grows. The gate releases. The day begins on the right foot.
The tree
Your practice, painted.

From the founder
“My phone used to wake me up. Now God does.”
I am Marques. I built Before the Scroll for the version of me who picked up the phone before he picked up his Bible. Three years of willpower, app timers, B&W screens, leaving the phone in the kitchen. By lunch the app was back. By Tuesday the rule was gone.
So I built the thing I actually needed. Not a productivity hack. A daily practice that tithes the first ten minutes of my day to God before the phone touches my mind, then gets out of the way for the rest of the day.
If this is where you are too, I would love for you to be one of the first 500. We will build this together.
Marques
Even ten minutes counts.
The tree grows when you do.
One email when the app is ready. That’s the whole list.
