"Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:9 A doorpost is where the words went. Somewhere you pass every day, on your way out. The Doorpost keeps the apps you name closed until you have written out a verse from your Bible by hand. Not tapped. Not swiped. Written. One screen, one box. Type the reference and the words, and your apps open for the rest of the day. Then they close again, and tomorrow needs another verse. HOW IT WORKS Choose the apps you reach for without deciding to. The Doorpost holds them shut using Apple's Screen Time. When you want them, open The Doorpost, open your Bible, and copy the verse across. Get it right and everything opens until your day resets. Get it wrong and you are told what is missing, never what to write. WRITTEN FROM A REAL BIBLE The Doorpost checks what you typed against the text of the verse you named, so it knows the difference between a verse and a sentence. It is deliberately forgiving about translation and unforgiving about effort: your ESV, NIV, NKJV, CSB or NASB wording will pass, and stopping half way will not. Tell The Doorpost which Bible you read and it judges you fairly against it. Choose the King James and it holds you to the King James exactly. A verse rests for 30 days after you use it, so the same easy favorite cannot carry every day. There are 31,102 to choose from. QUIET BY DESIGN No streaks. No badges. No notifications. No leaderboards. No accounts. Nothing that turns this into another app demanding your attention. Set your own reset time if you are up past midnight, so the evening does not end mid-sentence. PRIVATE The Doorpost collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. It makes no network requests at all beyond the App Store. The Bible is bundled, so everything you type stays on your device. iOS never even tells The Doorpost which apps you chose. It only ever holds tokens that the operating system alone can read. THE FULL VERSION The Doorpost is free to use: writing a verse to unlock your day always will be, in every translation the app carries. Unlimited blocked apps, whole categories, websites, and your own daily reset time come with the full version: $2.99 a month, or pay $19.99 annually. SCRIPTURE Verses are checked against the Berean Standard Bible and the King James Version, both public domain. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Doorpost at none against Bible Typing's shown. Bible Typing's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
