## What is Cornerstone?

Cornerstone is a beautiful, distraction-free Catholic Bible and faith companion. Read Scripture, study using the Baltimore Catechism, pray, and build a daily habit that's as playful or as prayerful as you want — overwhelmingly available offline.

READ THE CATHOLIC BIBLE
• The complete 73-book Catholic Bible, including the Deuterocanonical books, with several trusted translations to choose from.
• Clean, reverent reading with adjustable text and a restful dark mode by default.
• Bookmark verses, highlight passages, and keep private notes.
• Listen to Scripture with built-in audio playback.

WISDOM OF THE CHURCH FATHERS
• Verse-by-verse commentary from the early Church Fathers and saints.
• See how Christians have read Scripture for nearly two thousand years.

LEARN THE FAITH
• Study the Baltimore Catechism with structured, easy-to-follow lessons.
• The lessons are a quick, fun way to learn the faith whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner.

PRAY EVERY DAY
• Guided audio devotions: pray the Rosary, all four sets of mysteries,
  along with the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Angelus. A warm, unhurried
  voice leads every prayer, with the words on screen to follow along or
  simply listen. Works offline like everything else.
• A library of traditional Catholic prayers, always at hand.
• A guided confession companion with an examination of conscience and a step-by-step walkthrough.
• Sunday Mass readings to prepare for or revisit the liturgy.

MAKE IT A HABIT, YOUR WAY
• Turn daily formation into a game: earn experience, keep your streak alive, and watch your pilgrim rise in rank from Seeker to Saint.
• A daily Bible quiz and guided reading plans to test and grow your knowledge day by day.
• Gentle, optional reminders so you never miss a day.
• Prefer stillness? One tap turns on Quiet Mode, hiding XP, ranks, and celebrations for a focused, contemplative reader. Your progress is always kept either way.

SHARE THE WORD
• Create beautiful verse images to encourage family and friends.

YOURS, ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
• Use Cornerstone fully offline, no account required.
• Or create a free account to back up and sync your progress across devices. Completely optional.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Cornerstone works fully offline. Your reading, notes, and highlights stay on your device, unless you create an optional account to sync them across your own devices.
• We never collect the text of the verses you read or the words you search.

Whether you are returning to Scripture, preparing for the sacraments, or simply want to grow closer to God each day, Cornerstone gives you a solid foundation to build on.

"...built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone." (Ephesians 2:20)
