Grafted is a Bible reading and note-taking app built on a simple idea: your notes should live next to the scripture that prompted them. Read a chapter, take a note, and next time you return, it's right where you left it. Private by design. No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Your highlights, bookmarks, and notes are yours. And with Premium, they sync across your devices encrypted end to end, so no one but you can read them. Not even us. Everything in one place. No more reading in one app and writing in another. No more losing a note a month later. Your highlights, bookmarks, and the verses you're memorizing stay tied to the chapter they came from. Made to remember. Track memorization progress, mark the verses that matter, and study without the app getting in your way. Built for people who read carefully and want to remember what they find.
