We don't have Bible plans. The plan is the Bible. Emmaus is a quiet room at sunrise for your soul. At the center of it is one plan: the whole Bible, one chapter a day, with a friend. The Emmaus Journey Proverbs first. Then the New Testament. Then the Old, front to back. You don't have to pick a plan or choose a start date—open the app and today's chapter is waiting. It's simply the next one you haven't read. Nothing to fall behind on There is no deadline and no such thing as behind. Miss a day, a week, a season—nothing is owed, nothing piles up, and nothing here counts what you missed. The next chapter is still just the next chapter. Walk it with a friend Invite one person to walk it with you, and you'll each see that the other read today. Not how far along they are—no position, nothing to compare. Just: they were on the road this morning too. You also see the prayers each of you chooses to share, plus daily rhythms and current focus, and either of you can send an encouragement. Prayers start private. Discipling runs one way: you see their shared walk, not the reverse. Either of you can end it anytime. Someone to ask Reach Leviticus and you'll have questions. The Emmaus companion can explain what you just read—who's speaking, what it meant then, why it matters now. Talk or type—about the chapter, or anything else you're carrying. It remembers what you've shared, and you control what it keeps. The rest of the day - Morning brief: who you are in Christ before the day asks anything—a verse, a short devotional, a prayer prompt from your list, one small step. About 90 seconds. - Nightly examen & weekly review: look back on your day with God and choose one focus for what's next. - Prayer journal: keep your requests, and celebrate answered prayer. - Scripture memory: hide the word in your heart with spaced-repetition review. - Future Self: dream with God about who He's calling you to become. Read it, or hear it All 66 books in public-domain translations: the Berean Standard Bible, King James Version, and American Standard Version. Tap Listen and hear a chapter read aloud—it keeps playing with your screen locked. Private by design No feed, no followers, no directory. Nothing is public. Journals stay private unless you deliberately send named walking partners a snapshot of the S.O.A.P. sections you select; prayer is off by default. Coach conversations and examens are never shared. View or delete what the app remembers, export your data, or delete your account—all in the app. Grace, never guilt Miss a day? You're met with welcome, not a frown. No streaks. Formation over performance—rootedness over hustle. A note on what Emmaus is—and isn't Emmaus is a spiritual-growth companion. It is not a church, a pastor, or a substitute for professional medical, mental-health, crisis, or counseling care. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a trusted person and to real help (in the U.S., call or text 988). The AI companion is software and can make mistakes; it points you to Scripture, prayer, and your local church—it never replaces them. You meet Jesus in the Word, not in an app. Subscription Emmaus is free to download. Eligible new subscribers can choose a monthly or annual plan and start with 7 days free through Apple. Apple shows the exact local price and terms before confirmation; when the trial ends, the selected plan starts automatically unless canceled. Plans are about $8.99/month or $69.99/year in the U.S. Everything you write stays yours if access lapses, and your walk picks up where it paused when you subscribe again. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://getemmaus.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://getemmaus.app/privacy Come as you are. The road starts today.
