Get closer to God by opening social media. Your thumb can find your feed in the dark. Before the alarm, in the grocery line, at every red light. Type the Verse takes that reflex and puts Scripture inside it. Type the Verse locks the social media apps you pick. When you go to open one, you type today's Bible verse first. Get it right and the app unlocks for the amount of time you set. When time runs out, it locks again. Day one, the whole verse is on screen and you copy it. Every time you get it right, one more word is hidden. A couple weeks of checking social media with Type the Verse and you're writing the entire verse from memory. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that pull you in. 2. Open one and Type the Verse stands in the way. 3. Type today's verse. Your app opens. The lock returns later, and so does the verse. Every unlock is the whole verse. The words you have not learned yet are on screen. The words you have learned, you supply. Miss one, try again. WHY TYPING WORKS Reading a verse is not the same as knowing it. Writing a verse from memory beats re-reading it by about 52% a week later (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006, Psychological Science). Psychologists call it retrieval practice. The words are hidden one at a time on purpose: recall that costs you nothing teaches you nothing. An hour of typing, spread across a few weeks, and a verse is yours. WHAT YOU GET - A verse library in the translation you already read - Berean Standard Bible by default, with WEB and KJV in Settings - A page that fills with light as each verse comes back to you - A 90-day journey and a streak that asks for one minute, not one hour - Practice any time without spending an unlock - An emergency unlock that always works, because a blocker that traps you gets deleted - A reminder the day before your free trial ends, so nothing charges you by surprise No account, no cloud, no tracking. Everything lives on your phone. Type the Verse uses Screen Time permissions to shield the apps you choose. It never sees what you do in them. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Type the Verse Premium unlocks the app: every verse, every translation, and your complete journey. - Premium Yearly: from $29.99 per year, after a 3-day free trial - Premium Monthly: from $5.99 per month, after a 3-day free trial The exact price is shown in the app before you subscribe, and varies by region.

Type the Verse's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
