# Onboarding

> What happens when you first sign up for GodFocus — set your name, choose your goals, and get started in under a minute.

# Onboarding

When you create your GodFocus account, a short onboarding flow walks you through setting up your devotional practice. It takes less than a minute and helps GodFocus personalize your experience from day one.

## The Onboarding Steps

Progress dots at the top of the screen show you where you are in the flow. There are five steps in total.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Welcome — Enter your name">
    GodFocus greets you and asks: *What should we call you?* Enter your first name so the app can greet you personally on the Home Dashboard. Tap **Continue** to move on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Goals — What brings you here?">
    Choose the goal that best describes why you are here. This helps GodFocus tailor your experience:

    * **Daily Prayer** — Spend consistent time talking with God.
    * **Bible Study** — Read and reflect on Scripture daily.
    * **Silence & Stillness** — Practice being still before God.
    * **All of the Above** — A balanced daily devotional practice.

    Select one and tap **Continue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scripture Need — What's on your heart?">
    Tell GodFocus what you are going through right now, and it will show you a relevant Bible verse. Options include:

    * Anxiety or Worry
    * Seeking Direction
    * Need Strength
    * Growing in Gratitude
    * Deepening My Faith
    * Loving Others Better

    When you select an option, a personalized verse appears on screen. You can also skip this step if you prefer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reminder — Set your daily time">
    Choose what time you would like to receive a daily push notification reminding you to spend time with God. The default is 7:00 AM, but you can pick any time that fits your schedule. You can always change this later in Settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done — You're all set!">
    GodFocus confirms your setup and shows your personalized verse one more time. Tap **Start First Session** to dive right into your first guided prayer session.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can update your name and reminder time at any time in Settings. Your goal and scripture selections are saved locally to help shape your experience.
</Tip>

## What Happens Behind the Scenes

During onboarding, GodFocus:

* Saves your display name to your account so every screen greets you personally.
* Enables daily reminders at the time you chose.
* Detects your timezone automatically so notifications arrive at the right local time.
* Stores your goal and scripture need to personalize future sessions.

## Skipping Onboarding

If you prefer to explore on your own, you can tap **Skip for now** on the reminder step. You will go straight to your first session, and you can always configure reminders later in Settings.
