Build a daily habit with God. Each morning ScripturAI brings you a verse chosen for your season of life, a prayer written for you, and one question to sit with. Answer it and your streak grows. Five minutes a day, all of it grounded in Scripture. Daily Verse, Prayer & Reflection: Start the day with a verse picked for where you are right now, not a random one. Read it in your own translation, pray the prayer written for you, and answer one reflection question in your own words. Your streak shows on a calendar, a Grace Day can repair a missed day, and a home screen widget keeps today's verse in view. Reflection Plans: When you need more than a verse, pick a plan: 34 of them, each 5 to 7 days of daily reflections on one thing. Peace for an Anxious Mind. When Grief Is Heavy. Facing a Big Decision. Forgiving Someone Who Hurt You. Raising Children in Faith. The Sermon on the Mount. Ruth, David, Esther, and Peter. A plan day takes the place of that day's reflection, so you keep one habit and one streak. Talk with 50+ People from the Bible: Ask Jesus about a parable. Ask Moses what it is like to lead when you are afraid. Ask Paul about grace. Sit with Job in his suffering, or hear David on his own psalms. Each one speaks in their own voice, grounded in Scripture, with verse references you can tap to read in context. They are AI portrayals, and they will tell you so if you ask. Ask Anything About the Bible: A passage you cannot make sense of. A decision you are facing. What Scripture says about forgiveness, anxiety, or purpose. Ask, and get a thoughtful, verse-backed answer: not a generic one, but guidance rooted in the Word, with every verse a tap away. It Remembers Your Season of Life: Mention once that you are grieving, newly married, or waiting on an answer, and ScripturAI carries it into tomorrow's verse, prayer, and conversations. You never have to start over. What you share stays private, and you can delete your account and everything in it from Settings. Catholic and Protestant: Choose your tradition and the Bible you read. Catholic readers get the Catholic Public Domain Version with the deuterocanonical books; Protestant readers get the King James Version, World English Bible, and more. Your daily verse is chosen with your tradition in mind. 140+ Bible Translations: Read in the King James Version, World English Bible, American Standard Version, Catholic Public Domain Version, and many more, in dozens of languages. Tap any verse in a conversation to read it in context. Bookmark the verses that matter and sort them into collections. Free and Premium: The daily verse, the Bible reader, bookmarks, and the first day of any plan are free. Premium unlocks conversations with all 50+ characters, the daily reflection and prayer, and every day of every plan. One subscription, monthly or yearly. It renews automatically, and you can cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
