ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ, ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫ਼ਤਿਹ

Pray before
you scroll.

SimranLock blocks distracting apps until you complete a moment of simran. Every phone pickup becomes a connection with Waheguru.

SimranLock Home Screen
The Problem

Your phone was designed to
steal your amrit vela.

You set your alarm for 4 AM. You reach for your phone to check the time. 45 minutes later, you've scrolled through reels instead of reciting Japji Sahib. SimranLock makes sure that doesn't happen. Before Instagram opens, Gurbani opens first.

How It Works

Two minutes of simran,
then scroll.

SimranLock redirects — it doesn't restrict. A sacred pause before every session.

੧

Tap a blocked app

You reach for Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube as usual. SimranLock gently intercepts.

੨

Choose your path

Today's Hukamnama, a mood-matched shabad, the Mool Mantar, or a Waheguru simran meditation.

੩

Read & reflect

Gurbani appears in Gurmukhi, transliteration, and translation. Pause. Breathe. Absorb.

੪

Unlock & continue

Your app opens. You've just completed a moment of simran. Your streak grows.

Today's Hukamnama
ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਗੁਰ ਮੁਖਿ ਧਿਆਇ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਮ ॥
ਸਭਿ ਕਿਲਵਿਖ ਦੁਖ ਕਾਟੇ ਮੇਰੇ
ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮ ॥
Mere man gur mukh dhiaa-i Har Raam.
Sabh kilvikh dukh kaate mere, gur poorai Har Naam.
O my mind, meditate on the Lord through the Guru's teachings.
All sins and sorrows are erased by the Perfect Guru and God's Name.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji · This is what your first unlock of the day looks like.
"

I used to lose my entire amrit vela to Instagram. Now, the first thing I read every morning is Gurbani — and it's only 30 seconds. My streak is at 47 days.
