Catholic Shepherd vs Nephi's Gate

Welcome to the official mobile app of The Catholic Shepherd Catechism Ministry. The Catholic Shepherd Catechism Ministry is an independent ministry that aims to Inspire, Encourage, and Provide solid Catholic Doctrine for the sake of building up the True Church of Jesus Christ, His Holy Catholic, and Apostolic Church. “Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ,” says Saint Jerome. In order to spread the word of Christ as a Roman Catholic it is essential that one knows their faith and what the Church teaches, has taught, and will always teach. Therefore, The Catholic Shepherd encourages scripture reading and the study of the Catechism of The Catholic Church which echoes back what we believe and have always believed. Lastly, it is vital that we follow Holy, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium which has preserved the Truth of the Teachings of Jesus Christ.

Nephi's Gate helps you build a daily Book of Mormon reading habit — by keeping your most distracting apps locked until you've finished. Set a daily reading goal, choose which apps to block, and open the gate each day by completing your scripture study. It's that simple. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Nephi's Gate is a subscription app. A subscription is required to use all features, including app locking, daily reading goals, streak tracking, Live Activities, and iCloud backup. Choose the plan that fits you: • Monthly — $2.99/month • Yearly — $19.99/year (best value) • Lifetime — $39.99 one-time purchase Start with a 7-day free trial on any subscription plan. Cancel anytime. HOW IT WORKS • Set a daily reading goal (as little as 5 minutes) • Select the apps you want to block — social media, games, streaming, or anything else • Each day, your chosen apps are locked until you finish reading • Once your goal is met, the gate opens and your apps are restored • Miss a day and the streak resets — stay consistent to keep it alive BUILT FOR CONSISTENCY Streaks are a powerful motivator. Nephi's Gate tracks your current streak and your all-time best so you always know how you're doing. A daily reminder keeps you on track, and a customizable reset time means the schedule works around your life — not the other way around. READ IN THE APP OR BRING YOUR OWN The built-in reader includes the full text of the Book of Mormon. Pick up right where you left off — your last position is always saved. Prefer to read in the Gospel Library or another app? That works too. Just open Nephi's Gate, start your session, and read wherever you like. ICLOUD BACKUP Turn on iCloud backup to save your settings and streak data. If you get a new device, everything is restored automatically. LIVE ACTIVITIES See your reading progress right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you read. Nephi's Gate uses Apple's Screen Time framework to enforce app blocking, so it works at the system level — no VPN, no workarounds. For the family: Nephi's Gate is designed for personal use on your own device. Parental controls and family management are not currently supported.
