Scripture unlocks the screen.

Clayviss is a faith-based parental screen-time app for iPhone and iPad. Your child reads the Dhammapada aloud to earn the screen time you allow — turning daily time in daily scripture into the key that unlocks the apps they love.

25% of what we receive after Apple's cut goes to your temple.

How the 25% works

Apple takes a commission on every subscription before any money reaches us. We donate 25% of what actually reaches us. We don't subtract anything else — not our costs, not banking fees, not overhead. Just Apple's cut, then 25% of the rest.

Start with a free week. No commitment.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.”Dhammapada

Phones are easy. Raising them in faith is hard.

Every Buddhist parent feels the pull — the endless scroll, the glowing screen, the worry that the things you value most are getting crowded out. You don't want to take the phone away. You want it to lead somewhere good.

How it works

Read aloud. Earn the screen. You set the rules.

A simple daily loop your child does on their own device.

01

Your child reads aloud

A short passage from the Dhammapada appears. They read it out loud — the phone listens privately, right on the device.

02

The screen unlocks

A good read unlocks the apps you chose, for the time you decided. When it's up, they read again.

03

You stay in control

You pick which apps lock, how much time each reading earns, and how much they read. Your child can't just turn it off.

04

You read too

Flip one toggle and Clayviss locks the apps on your phone the same way it locks your child's. Read the passage aloud to get back in — the same reading, and your child sees you do it. Your parent passcode opens it too, any time you need it. The reading is a choice you're making, not a trap you're in.

A reward, not a punishment

This isn't about taking things away.

Clayviss turns daily reading into the doorway to the things your child already loves. No nagging, no power struggles — just a steady habit of time in daily scripture, woven into ordinary screen time. Faith becomes the reward, not the chore.

Built for your family

You decide. Down to the minute.

Block off the right times

Lock specific apps during school, dinner, or bedtime — and choose exactly how much time each reading unlocks.

Your faith, your words

Read the Dhammapada in your own language, with more added over time.

Reading levels you choose

Gentle passages for younger kids or the full text for older ones. You set what's right for your child.

Fair to honest readers

A patient, private match works for kids with accents or hard words — and a parent override means no one gets stuck.

Give back to your community
25%

of what we receive after Apple's cut goes to your temple.

We donate 25% of what we receive after Apple takes its cut. If you don't name a temple, we donate it to a nonprofit Clayviss selects.

Apple takes a commission on every subscription before any money reaches us. We donate 25% of what actually reaches us. We don't subtract anything else — not our costs, not banking fees, not overhead. Just Apple's cut, then 25% of the rest.

Clayviss makes the donation as a company, so you do not receive a personal tax deduction.

Questions

What parents ask

What is Clayviss?

A faith-based parental screen-time app for iPhone and iPad. Your child reads a passage from the Dhammapada aloud to unlock the apps you allow, for the time you choose.

Where does the 25% donation go?

We donate 25% of what we receive after Apple takes its cut. If you don't name a temple, we donate it to a nonprofit Clayviss selects. Apple takes a commission on every subscription before any money reaches us. We donate 25% of what actually reaches us. We don't subtract anything else — not our costs, not banking fees, not overhead. Just Apple's cut, then 25% of the rest. Either way the money goes to a temple or a nonprofit — Bellalu Management LLC never keeps it. Full details are in the Clayviss Giving Pledge at clayviss.com/giving.

How much does it cost?

Monthly is $19.99/month and covers up to 4 devices. Large Family is $34.99/month and covers up to 10. Both start with one week free. You can also choose Founding Member ($299/year, price locked for life) or Founding Family ($499 one-time, lifetime access — 100 available). Locking your own phone is included free on every plan, every plan includes a free comprehension quiz, and we donate 25% of what we receive after Apple's cut to your temple.

Can my kids share one device?

Yes. Every plan covers a number of devices, not a number of children — if your kids share one iPad, that's one device on your plan. Whoever picks it up reads the passage to unlock it.

Is my child's voice private?

Yes. The reading is matched privately on the device — your child's audio is not sent off to a server.

Can my child just turn it off?

No. Clayviss is set up through Apple Family Sharing, so your child can't simply delete it or sign out to get around the lock.

When does it launch?

We're signing up founding families now. Reserve your spot and we'll email you before launch — no payment today.
