## What is Barzel?

Barzel is the devotional app for Christian men: a verse with a reflection every day, the whole Bible with reading plans, personal habits and consistency groups with your friends.

IRON SHARPENS IRON
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." (Proverbs 27:17). Barzel means iron in Hebrew, and the app exists for exactly this: men walking together, sharpening each other, every day.

TODAY'S WORD
Every day, a verse chosen for the real life of a man, with a short and direct reflection to apply today. Your streak of days lights up, and one missed day a month is covered by grace, because consistency is not perfection.

PRACTICAL ACTION
Three times a week, a concrete action tied to the verse. Not to know more. To do it.

THE WHOLE BIBLE, WITH READING PLANS
All 66 books inside the app, in the Berean Standard Bible, with highlights and adjustable font size. Reading plans from five days to the whole Bible, from the Gospels to Psalms and Proverbs, for you and for your group. Every day you read counts toward your Consistency.

YOUR WEEK HAS A NUMBER
Monday to Sunday, Barzel measures the Word, your action, your habits and your group in one score from zero to one hundred, with a chart by days, weeks and months. Every Monday morning your weekly summary arrives by email.

CONSISTENCY GROUPS
Create a group with your friends, choose the habits of the challenge (workout, reading, prayer, whatever you decide) and check in every day, with a photo or video as proof if the group requires it. Ranking, feed, comments and Sharpen: the Barzel way of saying "I am with you."

GROUP READING
The whole group reads the same plan, the same chapter on the same day. Finishing the reading marks the check-in on its own, and everyone sees who has read today.

PERSONAL HABITS
Track your own habits with streaks and a monthly calendar. Only you see them.

MILESTONES
Nothing here comes easy. Medals for days in a row in the Word, in reading and in training, to remind you where you came from.

SHARE THE WALK
Ready-made images of the verse and of your weekly summary for Stories and WhatsApp.

GOD, FAMILY, WORK AND TRAINING
A man's life does not split into boxes. The same consistency holds on all four fronts.

APPLE HEALTH
If you choose, Barzel reads your workouts from Apple Health to mark your training habits. Your health data stays on your iPhone.

Start today. The Word is already with you.
