About Matu: Bible & Prayer Lock

This app helps you study the Bible while blocking digital noise, so that you can spend more time with God. The world wants you to be distracted and draw you away from God. This app was built to do the opposite: to encourage you to pray, and to help you avoid the days when your focus gets drawn into the world and you forget, or can't find the time, to read the Word or pray. 3 WAYS TO HELP YOU SPEND MORE TIME WITH GOD: • PRAYER LOCK: Choose a prayer time - usually early in the morning or in the evening. After the set time, when you try to open any app, it won't open. Complete a 12-second calming exercise and then your prayer with God, to be able to continue. • FOCUS MODE: Need to concentrate for a set period, such as during a church service? Lock your phone for a continuous stretch of time. • ACCOUNTABILITY LOCK: If you haven't ticked off reading the Bible and praying, your phone locks automatically until you do. THE BIBLE • 17 translations across 14 languages: English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Finnish, Swedish, Swahili, Indonesian, Filipino and Estonian • Read in zen mode • Tightly integrated with the Journal, Notes and AI chat, with backlinks for quick navigation between all of them • Verse explanations directly inside the reader • Highlight, note or love a verse and it appears in your Journal • Connect related verses across the Bible using tags, such as Wisdom, Jesus or Temptation TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • How often you've prayed and read the Word • How far you are through the Old and New Testament, and how many chapters you get through each day • Your favourite books and verses • A consistency heatmap showing your activity day by day, and which chapters you read on each one MATU, THE DOVE - AI CHAT • Ask about a verse's context or meaning straight from the Bible reader • Brainstorm conversation starters with the idea picker, so you never run out of topics, with 100+ suggested questions • Connect your existing notes and get feedback and ideas for what to write next NOTES • Integrated with the Bible reader, so you can write a verse inside a note, tap it, and go straight to that verse in the Bible • Import and export your notes • Markdown fully supported, so you can bring your notes over from Notion or Obsidian • Every word is indexed, so anything you wrote is easy to find months later JOURNAL • Everything you save in the Bible reader lives here: highlights, verse notes and loves, each with a quick link back to where the verse sits in the Bible, plus Ask integration • See all your verse connections through tags • Use the Journal calendar to see when you saved which verses • Filter your saved verses by book ALSO • Dark mode, with an automatic evening schedule Support: [email protected] Terms of Use (EULA): https://getmatu.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://getmatu.app/privacy

What’s new

Version 2.4.0 · Updated October 2, 2026

Matu 2.4.0 • "Verses for when you feel" is new in Bible search. Twelve topics, from Anxiety and Fear to Gratitude and Peace, each opening hand-picked verses in your own translation. • Share a verse as a picture. Select verses in the Bible or open today's verse, pick a background and a square or story shape, and send it anywhere. • "Ask Matu about your reading" on Your Journey: one tap asks what to read next, for a prayer from what you read recently, or to reflect on your week. • A highlight, a love and a note on the same verses now show as one card in your Journal, and By Book lists your saves in Bible order. • Notifications now arrive in your morning wherever you are, never in the middle of the night and never two at once. • Your Bible translation no longer resets to English, opening the app offline takes you straight to your Bible, and signing in shows your own notes and tags right away.
