Learn a verse in halves, recite it from memory, and Verse brings it back just before you would forget it. About ten minutes a day.
Most Bible apps help you read. Verse helps you keep what you read, with a short review each day timed to the edge of forgetting.
Read a verse twice, split in two, then say it back from memory. Pick the next word, type first letters, or recite it out loud, from Gentle to Strict.
Each morning you see only the verses that are due. Recite one cleanly and it waits longer before it comes back. Slip, and it returns sooner.
Look up a reference or a word, read the chapter around it, and add it to your list. Topics, the best-known passages from every book, and creeds and prayers too.
Short, and the reason the app exists. Read it twice in halves, then recite it. That's the whole method.

Verse keeps what it needs to schedule your reviews, and nothing it would need to sell.
How we protect youThy word have I laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.Psalm 119:11 · American Standard Version
Read a verse twice in halves, recite it, and Verse brings it back just before you would forget it. The gap grows every time you get it right.
A verse is easier to hold in two pieces. Verse splits each one at its natural pause, has you read both halves twice, then asks you to recite the whole thing without looking.
Forgetting moves fastest in the first 24 hours, so the second look comes early. After that the gap keeps growing, until a verse holds for months.
Each morning you get only the verses that are due. Nothing piles up, and nothing slips.
New verses arrive at the pace you choose: one, two or four a month. The reviews are spaced for you, so a busy week never buries you.
Streaks & grace daysVerse counts every word you miss. How a review goes decides when the verse comes back.
Recite it with almost no slips and the verse climbs a rung. The next review waits longer.
The verse stays on its rung and comes back tomorrow for another try.
It steps down a rung into a shorter gap. Nothing is lost, and it climbs again as you recover it.
Psalm 119:11 takes about ninety seconds.
Pick the next word, type each first letter, or say it out loud. Each mode has three levels, from Gentle to Strict.
Every other word ahead is tinted, four words to choose from.
American Standard Version. Tap the mode button on the right to switch between What’s next and First letter, and to change the level.
Pick the next word from a handful of choices. Stricter levels tint less of what's ahead and add more choices.
Only first letters show. Tap each one on the keyboard and the word comes back. Strict shuffles the keys and turns hints off.
Recite the whole verse aloud and watch the words light up. In the iPhone app, with speech processed on your device.
| Gentle | Standard | Strict | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What's next | Every word ahead is tinted, and three words to choose from. | Every other word ahead is tinted, four words to choose from. | Nothing ahead is tinted, seven words to choose from. |
| First letter | Every word ahead is tinted, and the next letter glows on the keyboard. | Every other word ahead is tinted. | Nothing ahead is tinted, keys are shuffled and hints are off. |
A cleaner run, a harder mode, a later stage and a longer streak all pay more.

Verse is a small, independent app for memorizing scripture: a short review each day, timed so what you learn stays.
Most of us have tried to memorize scripture. We read a verse, read it again, and a month later it's gone. Rereading feels like learning, but it isn't recall.
Two things make a verse stick: saying it from memory, and doing that again just before you would forget. Verse is built around both. You learn a verse in halves on day one, and after that every session is recall, spaced so the gaps grow as the verse settles.
The app is named for Psalm 119:11, the first verse you learn in it. That verse is the whole idea: the word, laid up in the heart, where it's there when you need it.
Scripture is shown as the translation has it. Context notes are written for study and don't push the view of any denomination.
No ads and no data sales. Members who find Verse worth keeping are the only way it makes money.
Seven days free, a reminder on day 5, and cancelling takes one step. No calls, no retention maze.
The verse the app is built around, and the first one you learn.
The iPhone app is coming soon to the App Store. The web version is here now.
New believers, lifelong readers, youth leaders, and anyone who has lost a verse they once knew.
We read every message. Read our mission, or get in touch.
We measure Verse by what you can say from memory, not by how long you spend in the app.
A verse you've memorized goes where you go: into a hospital waiting room, a hard conversation, a sleepless night. No screen required.
So Verse is built to get out of the way. Ten minutes a day, only the verses that are due, and a schedule that stretches the gaps until a verse holds for months. When a verse settles, the app stops asking for it except for a monthly check.
A short queue you can finish before breakfast. Nothing piles up if you miss a day.
After day one you're always reciting from memory. That effort is what makes a verse durable.
A settled verse is a win, not a reason to keep you scrolling. The ladder has an end.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.Colossians 3:16 · American Standard Version
