## What is Anchora?

Anchora puts one Bible verse on your Home Screen and Lock Screen and changes it every morning, even when the app is closed. Turn on the evening verse and you get a second one each day, at a time you choose. Want the next one now? Tap "Next verse" in the app.

EVERY VERSE, NO UPGRADE NEEDED
• 1,616 hand-picked verses in three translations: the World English Bible (public domain), Ivan Ohiienko's Ukrainian translation (CC BY-SA), and the Russian Synodal translation of 1876 (public domain)
• The reference always sits under the verse
• No repeats: a verse comes back only after you have seen all 1,616
• Save the verses you want to keep, and share the verse of the day or a saved one as a card sized for social media stories and messaging apps
• Home Screen widgets in small, medium, and large sizes on iPhone and iPad, plus Lock Screen widgets
• 10 plain colors and 8 patterns for the widget
• Verses and widgets work offline, and the app collects no data: no account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking
• The app sends no notifications, keeps no streaks, and shows no pop-ups

ANCHORA PRO
Pro changes how the verses look, never how many you get.
• 492 photo backgrounds, light and dark: sea, sky, mountains, hills, fields, roads, rivers, desert, snow, and candlelight
• All 140 patterns
• 48 backgrounds for share cards
• The text color is chosen for each picture, so the verse stays readable on light and dark photos
Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, so there is nothing to renew or cancel.

The app is in English, Ukrainian, and Russian. Verses appear in Ukrainian or Russian if your iPhone or iPad is set to that language, and in English otherwise. You can change the translation in the app's settings.
