Remember what you hear. Understand what you read. Carry it into your day. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED A paid, auto-renewable HolyNote Premium subscription is required to continue after onboarding and use the app. The weekly plan may include a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers; the annual plan does not include a free trial. Prices, billing periods, and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Existing locally saved content remains readable if Premium later expires; creating new recordings, imports, Scripture studies, or AI results requires active Premium access. HolyNote is a personal space for sermon notes and Scripture reflection. Record a sermon or import an audio file, then ask AI to organize the source into a transcript, structured summary, Scripture references, insights, and review flashcards when supported by the material. SCAN SCRIPTURE WITH A REVIEW-FIRST FLOW Photograph a Bible passage or choose an image from your library. Text recognition begins on your device. HolyNote then helps identify the passage and lets you review or correct the detected verses before requesting an AI study. The scan photo itself is not uploaded in this flow. CAPTURE SERMONS YOUR WAY • Record live audio while adding your own notes • Attach a photo of a slide, handout, or key moment • Import a supported audio file from Files • Keep the recording and completed note in your local library TURN SOURCES INTO USEFUL NOTES Depending on the source, HolyNote can create: • A structured summary and key takeaways • A transcript, with timestamps when reliable timing is available • Scripture references and contextual insights • Reflection prompts, prayer, and review flashcards BUILD A GENTLE DAILY RHYTHM Move through Verse, Teaching, and Prayer in a short daily reflection. Resume where you left off, complete the day intentionally, and follow a streak based on your actual completed days. READ AND ORGANIZE Read Scripture offline, search passages, highlight verses, add personal verse notes, and return to saved passages. Pin important notes and organize them into folders. YOUR CONTENT AND AI Your note library and progress are stored locally on this device. When you choose an AI feature, the selected audio, reviewed passage text, link, or question is sent to the HolyNote service for processing. AI output can be incomplete or incorrect, so compare important conclusions with the original source and Scripture. Only record or process content when you have permission.
