A quiet moment every day
Begin the day with a verse, a thought and a prayer.
The Daily Reflection is the one thing that is always there: a verse to hold onto, a short reflection, a declaration to say out loud, and a prayer to carry with you.
- Quiet time: a gentle timer and calming sounds to help you be still
- A reminder at the hour you choose, in your own time zone
- Look back on any day you have walked through, from your calendar
- Hide the parts of Home you do not need. The reflection stays
Pray with the Bible
Words for the thing you are actually facing.
Scripture-based prayers for anxiety, grief, gratitude, new beginnings and more, each one built on verses rather than sentiment. Guided prayers walk you through a step at a time.
- A private prayer journal and your own prayer requests
- Mark a prayer answered and keep a timeline of God's faithfulness
- Ask a chaplain or mentor to pray with you
- Your journal and private requests are encrypted
Learn the Bible by heart
Thousands of questions, and a verse behind every answer.
Play a round on the books you choose. Every answer comes with its explanation and the verse it rests on, so a wrong guess still teaches you something.
- Memory Deck: learn one verse in four guided steps, then review it at the right moment
- Play privately with friends, join your community's quiz, or enter a scheduled tournament
- Track which books you have mastered
Know the whole story
All 66 books, with the background that makes them make sense.
A summary for every book, who wrote it and when, the themes that run through it, a timeline of what happened, and reading plans that take you through it a day at a time.
- Chapter summaries across the whole Bible
- Read a book summary, or listen to it
- Flashcards for the people, places and themes
Grow with your people
Faith is not a solo exercise.
Join a circle, or start one. Share a prayer wall, talk in threads, read the same plan together, and show up for the things your community has planned.
- Discussions, chat and a shared prayer wall
- Events you can RSVP to, and plans you read together
- Reply to friends and mention them with their @handle
- Invite someone with a link or a code
And the rest of it
The quieter things that make it liveable.
Works when the signal does not
Drafts save as you write, and anything you wrote offline is sent when you are back.
Share a verse properly
Any verse can go out as an image, or as plain text if that is what the moment needs.
Light and dark
A parchment canvas by day, deep ink at night, following your device unless you say otherwise.
6 badge tiers
Bronze through to Emerald, and a friendly leaderboard you can hide yourself from whenever you like.
10 quiet time sounds
Rain on a kalimba, a harp and a pad, chimes by a stream. A timer up to an hour, with a chime at the end.
Sign in the easy way
Apple, Google, or an email and password, then your face or fingerprint after that.
A look inside
