STAY PRESENT FOR THE SERMON Sunday Notes helps you follow the message live, see Bible references as they are mentioned, and return to the moments that mattered afterward. SEE SCRIPTURE AS IT IS PREACHED Start recording and follow the sermon through a live transcript. When Sunday Notes recognizes a Bible reference, it appears on screen for you to tap. Open the passage in the built-in KJV Bible, see the referenced verse highlighted, and return to the message without losing your place. HEAR THE MOMENT AGAIN Sunday Notes creates playable insight cards from meaningful sermon moments. Read the takeaway, play the corresponding sermon audio, and save or share the moment, not just a text quote. YOUR COMPLETE SERMON, ORGANIZED After the service, revisit: • The sermon recording and transcript • Bible references mentioned during the message • An AI-generated overview and key takeaways • Themes and practical applications • A concluding reflection and prayer • Playable, shareable insight cards • Your own timestamped notes BUILD YOUR SERMON ARCHIVE Search past sermons by title, transcript, Scripture or theme. Organize messages into folders, mark favorites, and return to important teachings throughout the week. MORE WAYS TO CAPTURE A MESSAGE Record a sermon in church, import an audio file, or process a supported YouTube or direct audio link. LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN Your saved sermon library and recordings are stored on your device. Audio and transcript text are sent to processing providers when transcription and AI features are used. No Sunday Notes account or cloud sermon library is required. Sunday Notes uses AI to organize and summarize sermon content. AI-generated material may contain mistakes and should be checked against the transcript, original audio and Scripture. The built-in Bible currently includes the King James Version. Live transcription, imports and AI processing require an internet connection. Please make sure your church or preacher permits personal recording. A Sunday Notes Pro subscription or free trial is required to enter the app and process sermons. Subscription terms and pricing are shown before purchase.
