Holy Root
Read full descriptionHide full description
You hear a verse that stops you cold in a service, at a small group, on a podcast, or in your own quiet time. Days later the words are a vague memory and the reference is gone entirely. Holy Root captures the verse the moment it strikes, resolves it to real scripture instantly, and turns your notes into a study you actually return to. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Type "Jn 3:16" and watch it become the full verse. Or tap the mic and say it out loud, even a whole chapter. The capture sheet opens over whatever you were doing, so you never lose your place halfway through a sermon. CAN'T REMEMBER THE REFERENCE? Say what you do remember, like "the one about eagles' wings", and Holy Root finds it. Every suggestion is checked against real scripture before it reaches you, so you never save a verse that doesn't exist. SERMONS, KEPT Upload a sermon recording and get its five key takeaways, then save them for the week ahead. Took notes on paper? Scan the page and the words land in your note. A LIBRARY, NOT A FEED Every capture lands in a library you can search and revisit. Open an entry for the full passage, your own note, and study context: the history behind the verse, what a word carried in the original language, and where else the theme runs in scripture. A WEEKLY RHYTHM A weekly streak that fits a Sunday rhythm, never a daily guilt counter. A Monday recap of what you heard, and a home screen widget that keeps a verse in view. CIRCLES, PRIVATE BY DEFAULT A circle is your church, your study group, or a few friends. Share the notes you choose with the people you choose. Circles are joined by invite code or by a request the leader approves, never a public feed, and your private reflections are encrypted before they leave your phone. CHOOSE YOUR TRANSLATION Read and capture in KJV, NIV, or NKJV. Every saved entry records which translation it was served in. ONE ACCOUNT, EVERYWHERE Sign in with Apple, Google, X, or an email address. Everything syncs with holyroot.app, so you can capture on your phone during the service and study at your desk during the week. Holy Root is not a Bible reader. It is built for the thirty seconds after a verse lands, when you can still keep it. HOLY ROOT PREMIUM Start with a 14-day free trial. After the trial, full access continues as a subscription: Monthly $6.99 Annual $44.99 (save 46%) Your free trial converts to a paid subscription unless canceled at least 24 hours before it ends, when payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription then renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of each period. Manage or cancel it any time in your device account settings.
