You're in worship and the message hits home β€” but by Wednesday, it's slipped away. The verse you wanted to hold onto, the thing God was speaking to you... gone. Pewly is here so that never happens again. Tap record and stay fully present. Pewly listens to the sermon, writes it down for you, and hands you clean, organized notes - the key points, every scripture that was quoted, and what to carry into your week. No more scrambling to keep up. No more forgetting by Tuesday. WHY PEOPLE LOVE PEWLY - Be present, not scribbling - let Pewly take the notes so you can actually worship. - Never miss a verse - every scripture the preacher quotes is pulled in, full text right there. - Make it your own - edit anything; it's your walk with God, in your words. - Carry it into the week - action items and a gentle midweek nudge to live out Sunday. - A prayer journal too - write what you're praying for, and rejoice when it's answered. HONEST, FROM THE START Your core notes are free forever - never locked behind a paywall. And Pewly Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Growing closer to God shouldn't bill you every week. FREE FOREVER: unlimited notes, scripture lookup, and your prayer journal. PEWLY PRO (pay once): AI sermon organizing, scripture auto-index, iCloud sync, export, and shareable verse cards. Scripture text is the public-domain World English Bible. Your notes stay private - on your device and your own iCloud.
