The Forge Approach
No reading plans. No daily checkboxes. Just open any passage and start wrestling.
Open any passage in the built-in Bible viewer. A clean, distraction-free interface puts you face-to-face with the text. No clutter, just you and Scripture.
One insight, one card. Not endless scrolling through disconnected highlights.
Distill your observation, interpretation, or application into a single, focused note. One insight, one card. Simple, powerful, permanent.
Your understanding emerges visually, not buried in folders or trapped in the cloud.
Watch your understanding emerge visually. Note icons appear right in the Bible viewer wherever you've captured insights. Connect Genesis to Romans, building a web of understanding that's uniquely yours.
