Your words are already planted. Rooted helps them grow. Rooted is Bible memorization designed like a practice — not a product. No accounts. No subscriptions. No streaks. No push notifications. Just a quiet, beautiful space to let Scripture settle into your heart. How It Works: The Garden Every verse you save is planted. As you practice, it grows: • Planted — freshly saved, ready to tend • Sprouted — taking shape in your memory • Blooming — becoming familiar • Rooted — written on your heart Your garden is a living picture of what you're memorizing. Watch it fill with color as the Word takes hold. Practice That Meets You Where You Are Rooted uses spaced repetition to surface verses when you're about to forget them. Four practice modes let you grow at your own pace: • Gentle — read slowly, answer with support • Guided — recover key words from memory • Phrase — type key phrases with structure • Full Recall — type the entire verse from memory No timers. No pressure. Come back when you're ready — your garden will be waiting. What's Included • Two bundled translations: ASV and KJV • Five curated starter collections: God's Nature, Salvation, Faith & Strength, Holy Living, Love & Mission • Create your own collections from any verse in Scripture • Share beautifully designed verse cards and garden summaries • Works completely offline, no internet required, ever • Light and dark mode Why Rooted Is Different Most memorization apps are built to keep you coming back. Rooted is built to help you carry the Word with you when you leave. • One-time purchase. No subscriptions. No ads. • No account required. Your data stays on your device. • No streaks or guilt. Practice is a rhythm, not a quota. • No gamification. Growth, not points. "I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." — Psalm 119:11
