About

Verbatum

Read full description

A sermon is two tasks in one: structuring your argument and speaking it at the pulpit. Most tools do one or the other. Verbatum does both — a mind-map editor for shaping the sermon, and a Speech view that strips every distraction once you walk to the pulpit. THOUGHTS MODE Outline your sermon as a mind map. Every heading is a branch; every sentence is a leaf. Reorder by drag, fold sections away, see the whole argument at a glance. Reading-time estimates show next to every branch, with a running total against your target so you know how long the sermon will be before you walk up. SPEECH MODE Plain prose, large type, generous line height. A quiet timer, an unobtrusive ruler, and a progress runner that lets you see — without reading the clock — how much sermon is left. No menu bars, no editing controls, no notifications. Nothing between you and the words. YOUR FILES, YOUR FUTURE Sermons are saved as plain Markdown files on disk. No accounts, no lock-in, no proprietary format. Open them in any editor; carry them on a USB stick; sync through iCloud Drive if you want to. Your archive outlives any app. PRIVACY Verbatum has no backend, no telemetry, no analytics. Your sermons never leave your device unless you put them somewhere yourself. REQUIREMENTS macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later. iPadOS 17 or later.
