Ever catch yourself reaching for your phone with a few minutes to spare, and instinctively opening social media? Redeeming Time is built to flip that habit. You tell it how long you have, and it suggests Bible books you can actually finish in that window.^1 Five minutes might open Obadiah, Jude, or Philemon; twenty-five could point you to Amos, Lamentations, or Galatians.^2 Progress through longer books is saved so you can pick up later, and reading plans invite you to keep going a few minutes each day instead of only doing one-off sittings.^1
Each reading starts with a short prayer to settle your heart, then three application questions help you take the Word into the rest of the day and share it with others.^4 Scripture opens from Bible Gateway, with KJV, ESV, and NIV on offer.^4 The reading experience has been rebuilt, with an improved flow for tackling longer books over time, a light mode, reminder alarms to help you read regularly, and the option to customise the app icon.^1 It is free on iPhone, iPad, and Android, and Apple also lists it for Apple Silicon Macs and Apple Vision.^1
Redeeming Time comes from Discipleship Tech, a UK Christian charity (No. 1178838) also behind PrayerMate, and was created by Andy Geers and James Doc.^2 Geers founded PrayerMate, and Discipleship Tech was founded in 2018 as the charity home for that work, which also made other projects such as Redeeming Time possible.^2 Jonathan Carswell of 10ofThose has recommended Redeeming Time to people who struggle to keep a daily Bible habit.^4
"The Redeeming Time app is just what I needed to turn my screen addiction into a discipline for building godliness." - Vince Gunn, in a Google Play review^6
"It has been a huge blessing in helping me to read whole books of the Bible at one sitting (or a few sittings for a larger book)." - Teresa P., in a Google Play review^6
