Everything you need to take better notes
Every feature is designed around how people actually take notes during a sermon — fast, focused, and without fuss.
Distraction-Free Editor
A clean, minimal writing space designed for church. No clutter, no pop-ups — just you and the Word. The editor stays out of your way so you can focus on what your pastor is saying.
Auto-Save & Offline
Your notes save automatically as you type — even without internet. Close the app mid-sermon, come back later, and everything is right where you left it. Notes sync to the cloud when you reconnect.
Auto Verse Insert
Type a Bible reference like Romans 8:28, hit space, and the full verse text appears in your notes. No copy-pasting from another app. Choose from multiple translations including KJV, NIV, ESV, and NLT.
Rich Text Formatting
Bold, italic, headings, bullet points, and more. Format your notes the way you think — highlight key takeaways, create lists of action points, and structure your thoughts clearly.
Organised by Date & Church
Every sermon note is tagged with the date, preacher, church name, and location. Scroll back through weeks and months to revisit past messages and see your growth over time.
Share with Friends
Finished a great sermon note? Share it with your small group, family, or the whole congregation in one tap. Pastors can also share notes with their church using Preach Notes.
