How I feel

A verse for the hard nights.

Anxious, alone, grieving, tired, grateful: real verses for each feeling, from a public topical index, checked by a person. Crisis resources are always free and always visible.

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28 · BSB

Grace days

A streak that forgives.

Your streak is an anchor, not a flame. Two grace days every week, free and automatic. A streak is never sold or “repaired”.

Prayer journal

Your prayers stay on your phone.

Write down who you're praying for. When a prayer is answered, it becomes a stone on your Ebenezer wall. Nothing leaves your device.

The Ebenezer wall

Afterward, Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.”

1 Samuel 7:12 · BSB

Questions

Is the Bible really free?

Yes. Reading, search, highlights, notes, your streak, grace days, cards and today's reading are free, forever. Plus only adds plans, the archive and extras.

Is any of it written by AI?

No. Every verse comes word for word from a public Bible translation bundled in the app. Reflections and prayers are written ahead of time. There is no chatbot, and nothing speaks in the name of God or Jesus.

Which translations are included?

Berean Standard Bible, King James Version and World English Bible; Reina-Valera 1909 and Nueva Biblia Viva; Bíblia Livre; Luther 1912 and Elberfelder 1905; Louis Segond 1910 and Darby; and the Japanese Bungo-yaku. All free and offline.

What happens to my prayers and notes?

They stay on your phone. They are never sent to us, to analytics or to anyone else. App analytics only counts neutral events, like opening the reader, never what you read, write or search.

What if I can't afford Plus?

Tap “I can't afford it” and you get six months of Plus, free, with no questions and no card.

Which tradition is it written for?

Reflections are short and ecumenical, written for every Christian tradition and for people who are just exploring. No prosperity teaching and no quotes from celebrity authors.

When can I try it?

Ankyra is in final testing for iPhone and iPad. Join early access and we'll email you your TestFlight invite before launch.

Android?

Not yet. Ankyra is for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

Five minutes with Scripture. Every day.

A real verse, a short reflection and a prayer, with grace days when life gets in the way. Free. Get the beta before launch.
