Sermon Journal: Bible Notes

This is a sermon recorder and church notes app. Record the sermon, type your notes as you listen and keep every Sunday in one place. Each note is stamped with the time, so later you can tap it and hear that part of the message again. The full Bible is built in and works offline. No ads, no subscription, no account.

SERMON RECORDER APP
• Record sermons with one tap. Recording keeps going with the screen off or while you use other apps
• Pause, resume and stop from the notification, so long services are no problem
• Replay at 0.75× to 2× speed, skip back 10 seconds and see your notes as markers on the timeline
• Standard quality uses about 29 MB per hour; high quality about 58 MB per hour

CHURCH NOTES LINKED TO THE AUDIO
• A sermon notes app built for the pew: file each note as a Note, Key point, Verse, Action step or Prayer
• Notes taken while recording get the time. Tap the time to hear that moment again
• Tap Moment to mark part of the sermon without typing, then fill it in after the service
• Add the speaker, church, series, date and Scripture passages to every sermon
• Notes for church, Bible study, small group or a conference, with or without a recording

BIBLE NOTE TAKER AND RECORDER
• Type a reference like John 3:16, Rom 8:28-30 or Ps 23 and the verse text appears in your church sermon notes
• References inside any note are underlined; tap one to read the passage
• The complete World English Bible, offline: read by book and chapter, search every verse, copy verses and add them to any sermon
• Use it as a Bible and sermon note taker, and as my Bible journal for Bible study: a Bible study journal app for all your Bible notes

RECORD AND TRANSCRIBE
• Turn a recording into a transcript right on your phone, using your phone's own speech recognizer
• Each line has its time: tap it to jump to that part of the recording
• Needs Android 13 or newer with an on-device speech model, which most recent phones can download in a few minutes. Accuracy depends on the room and the microphone, and names or verse numbers may need fixing

YOUR SERMON JOURNAL
• Every sermon in one library, organized by month
• Search titles, speakers, passages, notes and transcripts
• Star the messages you want to come back to
• Share your sermon notes as text with your small group, a friend or your notes app: key points, Scripture with the verse text, notes, action steps and prayers

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• My sermon notes stay mine: recordings, notes and transcripts are saved only on your phone
• This app doesn't have internet access. Nothing is uploaded
• No ads, no account, no tracking

GOOD TO KNOW
• Some churches have a policy on recording services, so ask if you're not sure
• For the clearest audio, sit where you can hear the speaker well and away from the air conditioning
• Scripture quotations are from the World English Bible, which is in the public domain
