Noia turns the reach for your phone into a moment with Scripture. The apps built to take a minute and keep an hour stay shielded until you spend a moment in the Word. Keep a short Bible verse to open them — or switch to meditation mode and simply sit with a verse. A brief grace period follows, then the shield quietly returns on its own. Friction, by design. Not to shame you — just to put one good thing between you and the habit. HOW IT WORKS • Choose the apps that take more than they give. • Open one, and Noia meets you with a calm shield instead of the feed. • Keep a verse to unlock it — no verse, no scroll. • Enjoy a short grace period, then the shield returns automatically. SEVEN WAYS TO KEEP A VERSE Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and locate-the-verse are free. Noia Plus adds recitation, order-the-passage, guess-the-reference (Wordle-style), and first-letter recall — gentle memory games graded privately on your device, so a wrong answer is never a trap. MEDITATION MODE Not in the mood for a quiz? Sit with the verse instead. The shield lifts while you breathe — no timer to lose, just quiet. VERSE OF THE DAY A new verse each day, on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Free for everyone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your Screen Time data and your quiz answers never leave your device. No ads. No trackers. Nothing sold. FREE & NOIA PLUS Blocking and three unlock formats are free forever. Noia Plus unlocks every quiz format, unlimited blocked apps, custom study plans, meditation timing, and calm color themes. Scripture is provided in the King James Version, with English Standard Version (ESV) quizzes available free. Be still, and know. Then get on with your day — lighter. — Noia Plus is an auto-renewing subscription: $4.99/month or $34.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Celebration Church at none against Noia's 2. Celebration Church also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 6) and device support (4 vs 2). Noia's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
