## What is Statio?

Statio — Space for Spiritual Growth

Statio is a daily practice for your spiritual life — scripture, prayer, reflection, and community, woven into the rhythm of your day.

The name comes from the ancient monastic tradition of pausing before worship. That's what Statio is built for: intentional moments that form you over time, not another app competing for your attention.

START WITH SCRIPTURE
Read through the Bible with a plan shaped around the church calendar. Bible Chat brings an AI conversation partner into your reading — ask questions, explore the text, and go deeper at your own pace. Import your YouVersion reading history and pick up right where you left off.

PRAY WITH INTENTION
The Prayer Wall gives your community a shared place to lift needs and give thanks. Carry your church's prayer list with you, add your voice to requests, and mark when God answers.

REFLECT EVERY EVENING
Wind down with five gentle prompts — Gratitude, Grace Moments, Emotions, Prayer, and Petition. The Evening Reflection gives your day a meaningful close and carries your answers straight into your journal.

JOURNAL WHAT GOD IS DOING
A private journal tracks your spiritual journey. Finish a study, a session, or an Evening Reflection and tap "Journal this" — your content seeds the entry so you can move straight to writing. Over time, it becomes a record of how God has moved in your life.

GROW WITH OTHERS
Circles, Small Groups, and Family Circles give you a place to study and stay connected with the people you worship with. Gather works offline over Bluetooth when your group is together without reliable Wi-Fi — no connection needed to meet.

FOLLOW THE SACRED CALENDAR
Advent, Lent, and the seasons of the Christian year surface on your Today screen with a study prompt. The liturgical calendar gives your personal growth a shared rhythm with the broader church.

Statio is for people who take their formation seriously. Not a social feed. Not a notification machine. A quiet, intentional space to grow.

Download free. Grow deeper.

What's New in Statio 2.3.7

Evening Reflection, redesigned
The Evening Reflection experience has been rebuilt from the ground up — a rich sunset canvas, per-step color washes, botanical accents, and emotion chips that feel intentional at the end of the day. The hero card on your Today screen now fills the full width with a dynamic quote and a single "Start Reflection" tap.

Reflection flows into your journal
When you finish an Evening Reflection, a single tap carries all five of your answers — Gratitude, Grace Moments, Emotions, Prayer, and Petition — straight into a new journal entry, pre-filled and ready to deepen. Works on iOS, Android, and web.

Journal pre-population from every session type
Not just Evening Reflection — Circle, Small Group, and Family sessions now offer a "Journal this" tap at the close of the session. Your session content seeds the entry so you can move straight to writing.

Liturgical season on Today
A new hero card surfaces your current liturgical season — Advent, Lent, Ordinary Time — with a study prompt and artwork. Past seasons are browsable below. The season label is shown during named seasons and hidden during Ordinary Time to keep the screen clean.

AI Family Plan timing gate
The AI Family Devotional plan card now waits until your configured family time is near before surfacing, so it doesn't nag you at the wrong moment. You can also dismiss it for the day.

Photorealistic sunset hero
The Today screen hero image moved from a gradient silhouette to an AI-generated photorealistic sunset — same warmth, more depth.

Gather: offline BLE sessions
When your group meets in person and Wi-Fi is spotty, Gather now works entirely over Bluetooth. The circle steward starts a session; nearby phones join automatically when they come into range. Session activity syncs to the server the moment any device reconnects — encrypted end-to-end before it ever leaves the room. Works for Family Circles and standard Circles on both iOS and Android.

Bug fixes
- Liturgical season label was missing on the Today screen after a cold launch — fixed
- All Small Group participants now reach the Completed screen with the journal CTA, not just the leader
- Prayer Wall settings moved to the correct location on Android (Profile, matching iOS)
- iPad no longer shows a duplicate nav button on the Today tab

### 2.3.0 — 2026-07-21

Find Your People, Right Where You Are

This update makes Statio smarter about your local faith community.

• Nearby churches — Statio can now use your location to surface churches
  near you and show relevant local content. Your location is only accessed
  while the app is open and is never stored or shared.

• Circle layout polish — Standard and Family Devotional circles now display
  consistently across all device sizes. Everything lines up the way it should.

As always, thank you for trusting Statio with your church community.
We're building this for you.
