Scripture Memory helps you memorize Bible verses and keep them for life — using spaced repetition that brings each verse back for review right before you'd forget it. Built around The Navigators' Topical Memory System® (TMS), with 480+ verses organized by topic — assurance of salvation, quiet time, the Word, prayer, faith, victory, and sharing Christ — plus the extended TMS Series. WHY IT WORKS • Spaced repetition (SRS) schedules reviews at the perfect moment for long-term recall • Type-to-recall testing — first letter, full word, or the whole verse • A simple daily queue with gentle goals, so a few minutes a day is enough STAY CONSISTENT • Streaks and a weekly progress strip keep momentum going • Home-screen widgets show your current verse and stats at a glance SUPPORT ACROSS VERSIONS • NIV (1984 & 2011) • iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad Start with one verse today. The Topical Memory System® is a discipleship resource of The Navigators. Scripture Memory is an independent study companion and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Navigators.

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.
