Your Morning Anchor

Lock distracting apps. Meet with God.

Harbor & Cross gives Christian parents a daily verse, reflection, prayer, and action, then helps protect that time with optional Focus Mode sessions that temporarily block distracting apps.

Your card is waiting

Each morning, a new devotional card appears. Illustrated, hand-crafted, different every day.

Read the verse

A scripture chosen for parents. Not random. Not generic. Picked for what you're carrying.

Flip to go deeper

On the back: a reflection, a prayer, and something practical to do today.

4

Carry it with you

The action step fits your season of parenting. Two minutes that reshape your whole day.

It Knows Where You Are

Pick your season. The app meets you there.

Harbor & Cross season selection with Young Kids selected

A devotional about stillness tells a new parent to put the phone down during the next feeding. It tells the parent of a teen to sit in their teenager's doorway and pray. Same truth. Personal action.

I bought the app for my husband over a month ago. He’s on a 41-day streak right now and is enjoying the daily prayer time. We noticed the new update just rolled out with the screen lock option which he’s been looking forward to. We would highly recommend this app to help reconnect with the Lord.

Common Questions

What parents ask before their first morning.

How long does the daily devotional take?
About two minutes. Each morning you get one card: a verse, a short reflection, a prayer, and one practical action step for the day. If you want longer with the Lord, add an optional prayer lock.
Is Harbor & Cross for moms or dads?
Both. Harbor & Cross is a daily devotional for Christian parents — moms and dads alike — with cards personalized to your season of parenting, from expecting your first child to adult children.
How do the prayer locks work?
Prayer locks are built on Apple's Screen Time. Choose 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes, and distracting apps are silenced while you pray. It's completely voluntary — the app never locks anything on its own, and Emergency Unlock is always available.
How much does it cost?
Your first 30 mornings are free — no account, no card. After that it's $59.99/year with a 1-month free trial, or a one-time $129.99 lifetime purchase.
Do I need an account? What about my data?
No account. Everything runs on your device — the app works fully offline, shows no ads, and collects no data.
Which Bible translations does it use?
Verses are available in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), World English Bible (WEB), and King James Version (KJV).

Focus Mode

Set up to five prayer times a day. When one arrives, Harbor & Cross notifies you and offers to begin a short session — it never locks anything on its own. Or start Focus Mode at the touch of a button: tap the prayer lock to immediately lock distracting apps and set aside time for prayer. Either way it's just you and God, and Emergency Unlock is always available. Built on Apple's Screen Time, entirely on your device.
