A memorization app, not a reading plan
Many Bible apps are built for reading, listening, or highlighting. Holdfast is built for recall. The point is to find the words again later, not only to see them again today.
You keep passages in a library, practice them with as much support as you need, then try without the words in front of you. Spaced review brings a passage back when it is due, so yesterday’s work has a next step.
How Holdfast approaches Scripture memory
- Today shows the next small practice step instead of a crowded dashboard.
- Supported practice (read, blanks, first-letter cues) stays distinct from recall.
- A next review date keeps the return visible.
Who it is for
People who want a calmer Bible verse memory habit: a few minutes, one passage, an honest attempt. Features vary by platform and beta build. Holdfast does not replace a Bible translation app, and it does not invent Scripture text.

The public site explains the practice. The app is where you do it. Get the iOS or Android beta if you have access, or email support if you need a path in.
Common questions
Is Holdfast a free Bible memorization app?
The current beta does not charge to install. That is not a promise about later subscriptions or features. Store billing, if it appears, is handled by Apple or Google, not by emailing Holdfast.
Does it work offline?
Practice content is local-first. Optional account backup and restore is described in the privacy policy.
