David is a daily devotional app built for Christian men. Each day: a Bible verse, a short reflection, a question to respond to, and a journal — done in 3-5 minutes. YOUR DAILY DEVOTIONAL Each day brings a fresh Bible verse, a short reflection, and a reflection question. The whole experience takes 3-5 minutes — perfect for your morning routine. JOURNAL YOUR THOUGHTS Capture what resonates. Write freely or respond to the daily reflection question. Your journal is stored in your account and visible only to you. DEVOTIONAL PLANS Go deeper with multi-day topical plans that walk you through real-life topics with daily scripture and guided reflection. Topics include fatherhood, leadership, purity, and marriage — each structured as a multi-day guided plan with daily scripture. READ THE BIBLE IN A YEAR The whole Bible is in the app — all 66 books, on your device, no connection needed. Follow the year-long plan at three or four chapters a day, and it shows up on Today next to your devotional so keeping it going is one tap a morning. Read a paper Bible instead? Mark the day done and keep your place. The reader is built for reading rather than looking things up: real paragraphs where the translators put them, poetry set as poetry, and nothing else on the page. The text is the World English Bible. Free for everyone, no subscription. LISTEN TO YOUR DEVOTIONAL David Pro can read each devotional aloud, with controls on your lock screen. On the free plan, you can listen to a preview. COMMUNITY Ask other men for prayer and share praise in the Community tab. TRACK YOUR STREAK Build consistency with a daily streak tracker. Small habits compound into lasting growth. DAVID PRO The Bible reading plan is free. Pro unlocks personalized devotionals, narration, unlimited journaling, and all devotional plans. $4.99/month, $39.99/year, or $79.99 lifetime.
