Help with the app and the bookmark.
Ruach is an iOS app paired with a physical NFC bookmark. When you want focused time with God, tap your bookmark to begin a digital fast. Your selected apps lock until you tap your bookmark again to end the fast.
My bookmark isn't pairing. Hold the top of your iPhone against the bookmark — the NFC reader is in the upper portion of the device, not the center. If pairing still doesn't work, try a different NFC tag if you have one. Any standard NTAG213-compatible tag will work.
My apps aren't locking when I tap my bookmark. Make sure you've granted Screen Time permission to Ruach during onboarding. Open the iOS Settings app, go to Screen Time, and confirm Ruach has the permissions it needs.
I lost my bookmark. You can pair a new NFC tag from the Settings screen in Ruach. Tap the gear icon, then "Re-pair Bookmark." Any standard NFC tag will work.
I'm stuck — apps are locked and I can't unlock them. Open Ruach and tap "End Digital Fast," then scan your bookmark. If you can't find your bookmark, deleting and reinstalling Ruach will fully reset the app and unlock your apps.
Does Ruach work without an internet connection? Yes. Ruach runs entirely on your device. No internet connection is needed for any feature.
Does Ruach collect my data? No. Ruach collects no data of any kind. See the privacy policy for details.
