Be equally yoked. Stay in the Word, together. Reading the Bible alone is easy to skip. Yoked keeps you in the Word with a friend, your spouse, family, or your whole small group, so a daily Bible habit finally sticks. You set a weekly goal, check in each day you read, and hold the line for each other. How it works 1. Pair up. Invite a partner or start a group over Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, or a code. Starting on your own? Read solo and invite someone later. 2. Set your goal. Pick how many days a week you'll be in the Word. 3. Set the stakes. Miss your goal and you owe: coffee, dinner, your call. 4. Check in daily. Snap a BeReal-style photo, or post a screenshot of what you read with a selfie in the corner. 5. Get your weekly recap. Every Monday your week comes back as a story you can share to Instagram. What's inside - Real accountability, not another lonely tracker. People who notice when you show up (and when you don't). - Photo and screenshot check-ins. Simple, honest proof you read today. Capture a page straight from the Bible tab, and save any check-in to your camera roll. - Weekly recaps. Your week as a shareable story: days in the Word, who hit their goal, and who owes who. Every past recap stays on your History shelf. - Reactions, comments and chat. Double tap a check-in to react, leave a comment, or talk in your group's thread. - Nudges. Send a gentle reminder when someone hasn't checked in yet. - Streaks and history. Every week at a glance, plus the books and chapters you've read. - The whole Bible, offline. KJV, WEB, ASV and a Catholic Bible, plus Spanish, Korean and Polish translations. Highlight, take notes, and send a verse straight to your partner's Home Screen. - Widgets and Live Activities. See your partner's check-in photo or verse on your Home Screen, and whether you're both in the Word today right on your Lock Screen. - Reflections. Type or dictate what a passage meant to you. - Gift a month. Give a friend a free month of Yoked Pro. - Dark mode, and the app in English, Spanish, Korean and Polish. Yoked Pro Pro gives you access to everything, including groups, reflections, and your full history. One subscription covers your partner or your whole group. Choose monthly or annual; the annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Perfect for Christian couples, friends, families, small groups, discipleship pairs, and anyone building a consistent quiet time, devotional, or Bible reading plan. Two are better than one. Get yoked, and stay in the Word, together. "Do not be unequally yoked..." (2 Corinthians 6:14) "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me."
