Doorpost beside other family tools.

There are good family calendars, good homeschool planners and good Bible apps. Doorpost exists because we wanted discipleship and the family's day in one place. Here is an honest look at how it sits beside the others, so you can choose what fits your home.

Which fits you

Where another tool may suit you better.

We would rather you pick the right tool than pick ours. Going by what each company says about its own product:

You want a display made for the job
Skylight Calendar and Hearth Display each sell their own screen. Doorpost runs on a tablet you already have.
You want phone apps from the app store
Cozi offers iPhone and Android apps. Doorpost is a web app you add to your home screen.
You want ready-made lesson plans
Homeschool Planet offers publisher-created lesson plans, sold separately from its subscription. In Doorpost you build your own course list.
You want faith and the day together
This is what Doorpost is for: the verse, memory work, prayer and devotions beside the calendar, chores and dinner.

Screen-time controls

A different job. Use them alongside.

Google Family Link and Apple’s Screen Time (part of Family Sharing) are a different kind of tool. Family Link lets a parent set screen time, approve new apps, set parental controls on Chrome, Play, YouTube and Search, and see a child’s location. Apple’s Screen Time offers Downtime, App Limits and Ask to Buy.

Doorpost does none of that. It does not block apps, filter the web or limit time on a device. If your children have devices, we would encourage you to use the controls from the company that made them. Doorpost works beside them: a child can ask for screen time in Doorpost, and a parent answers yes or not now.

Bible apps

Doorpost is not your Bible app.

The YouVersion Bible App is a free app to read or listen to the Bible, explore Bible Plans and pray. It is a place to read Scripture.

Doorpost does something narrower. It puts one verse in front of the whole family each day, helps each child memorize, keeps a log of your family devotions and holds a shared prayer board, all beside the calendar and the chores. It has three translations built in: the Berean Standard Bible, the King James Version and the World English Bible.

We expect most families to use both: a Bible, on paper or in an app, for reading, and Doorpost for keeping the Word in the middle of the day. More on why is in What we believe.
