## What is Joya Live Experience?

Joya is the app that finally helps you put your phone down and live the moment.

When you arrive at a party, a concert or an event, you turn on focus mode: distracting apps and the camera pause for the duration of the event. The result: you're truly present, with the people around you — not behind a screen.

It's 100% voluntary: you choose to turn on focus mode, and you can take your phone back at any time (at the exit, at the end of the event, or from your iOS settings).

FOR GUESTS
• Join an event by scanning a QR code (or an NFC tag).
• Switch to focus mode: enjoy the moment, distraction-free.
• Capture a few memories right inside the app.
• Earn rewards for staying present.
• Take your phone back whenever you want.

FOR ORGANIZERS
• Create experiences where your guests are truly there.
• Follow your event live.
• Reward the most present guests.

Joya never accesses your activity: the app only applies the blocking that you authorized yourself, via Apple's Screen Time API (Family Controls).

Live the moment.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-27

Your party now ends exactly when you say it does.

Set the closing time when you create your party, and every guest's phone
unlocks by itself at that precise moment — automatically, to the minute.
No waiting, no guessing, nothing to do at the end of the night.

Also in this update:
• Phones are reliably released the moment a party ends, even if the app
  was closed
• Parties can now run across several days
• Smoother, faster monitoring for organizers
• Various fixes and performance improvements

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-24

You now set the exact time your party ends.
Pick the closing time on the clock when you create your
party, and every phone unlocks at that time — automatically,
to the minute. No more waiting, no more guessing.

Also in this update:
• Smoother, faster party monitoring for organizers
• Clearer notifications when your party is about to close
• Various fixes and performance improvements

### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-20

NEW IN-APP PURCHASES IN THIS VERSION
Three consumable "capacity top-up" products:
  com.joya.live.topup.50
  com.joya.live.topup.100
  com.joya.live.topup.500
They add extra guest places to an event already in progress.
They are sold to ORGANISERS, not to guests.

This release strengthens the heart of Joya.

• More reliable blocking: phone breaks, granted social windows
  and influencer badges now apply correctly, including when the
  app is closed and across midnight.
• End of event: rewards, scores and levels are now properly
  awarded to every guest.
• Leaving the venue: detection is far more cautious. No guest is
  removed from an event by mistake because of an inaccurate
  location reading.
• New for organisers: capacity top-ups. When your event reaches
  the number of places you paid for, you are notified and can
  add places one step at a time, without buying a whole new
  tier. Guests keep coming in while you top up.
• More reliable notifications and many stability fixes.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-15

What's new: guest search in the live monitor, stronger protection against focus-mode bypass, re-entry after the organizer re-authorizes a guest, and stability fixes (breaks, QR codes).

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-13

Stronger security: sensitive data is now stored in the device Keychain.
- Fixed scheduled phone breaks that cross midnight.
- Reliability and stability improvements.
