Bread helps you hide God's word in your heart — one verse at a time. Unlike flashcard apps, Bread lets you practice the way memorization actually works: by speaking out loud. Record yourself reciting a verse, and Bread will score your accuracy instantly. No typing, no multiple choice — just you and the text. How it works: • Add any verse from the ESV, NLT, NIV, KJV, NKJV, or CSB • Practice at three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard • Recite out loud and see exactly where you nailed it (or stumbled) • Master a verse by scoring 90%+ on Hard mode • Keep it engraved by reviewing monthly for 4 months Stay motivated: • Track your practice streak • See your total time studied and verses mastered • Organize verses into collections by topic, book, or study plan Whether you're memorizing your first verse or your fiftieth chapter, Bread meets you where you are. Simple, focused, and built to help Scripture stick. "Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You." — Psalm 119:11
