About

InScriptur

Features
Read full description

InScriptur is a scripture memorization app that behaves like a quiet room. Memory doesn't fail all at once โ€” it decays on a curve. InScriptur uses FSRS, the open spaced-repetition algorithm serious flashcard tools rely on, tuned for whole verses instead of fragments. Review each verse just before you'd forget it, a handful of times over a few weeks, and it stays. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Three gentle exercises, one schedule: โ€ข Read โ€” the verse in full, one line lit at a time, no grading โ€ข First Letter โ€” only initials remain; tap one when you're stuck โ€ข Order โ€” fragments, shuffled; meaning puts them back together Every verse you keep grows a tree in your forest. Neglect one and you'll see the autumn coming โ€” a tree turning amber is a verse asking to be visited before it's gone. Nothing is lost quietly. Each week you're placed in a small league with a handful of other people. Verses practiced count; nothing else does. Light motivation, not a scoreboard. Free for everyone: every verse, every exercise, every theme. If InScriptur helps you, you can buy the developer a coffee from the Profile screen. Available translations: Berean Standard Bible, King James Version, World English Bible.
