Two hours of church. 166 hours of everything else.
The week is teaching your kids something, constantly and confidently. Ten minutes a day puts the catechism, the Psalms, and the Scriptures into your family's memory instead.
- Free tier, forever
- No ads, no data brokering
- Everyone in the house, one text
- 166hours a week that are teaching your child something, whether or not anyone chose it
- 10minutes a day, short enough that nobody in the house has an excuse
- 6chief parts, memorized and explained, not recited once and forgotten
The whole inheritance, one tile at a time.
Start with the catechism. Keep going until you can read the Reformation in the languages it was argued in. It is a civilization's worth of thought, and it belongs to you.
- 01
The Small Catechism
Six chief parts, memorized, explained, and located in Scripture. The book Luther wrote for fathers to teach at home.
- 02
Creeds and Confessions
The Second Article without prompting, and then the Book of Concord that unpacks it.
- 03
Psalms and Hymns
The Psalter back in your memory, and hymns your household can sing without opening the book.
- 04
The Text of Scripture
Who Abimelech was. What the book of Judges is shaped like. Which passages bear on baptism.
- 05
Hebrew, Greek, Latin
The languages the faith was written in and argued in. A little at a time, on a Tuesday, until it holds.
- 06
The Reformation
The arguments, the documents, and why the people involved thought they were worth the risk.
Ten minutes, at your own kitchen table.
No lesson planning, no curriculum binder, no Sunday night scramble. The app decides what your household is due for and gets out of the way.
Open it after dinner
Spaced repetition brings each item back just before you would have lost it. Memory gets built on a schedule instead of on good intentions.
Everyone answers at their level
The nine-year-old gets the words. The adult gets the cross-references and the confession standing behind them. Same question, same week.
Talk about it
The app hands you the question. The conversation at the table is yours. That part was never going to be software.
Ten minutes in, and dinner sounds different.
I was confirmed in 1994 and could not have told you what the Second Article says. My nine-year-old corrected me on it at breakfast last week. I have decided to take that as a win.
Mark T.Father of three, Nebraska We had tried family devotions four separate times and quit four separate times. Ten minutes is short enough that nobody has an excuse, including me.
Anna R.Homeschooling mother, Ohio The thing I did not expect was what it did to the sermon. I hear the catechism underneath it now. It was always there. I just did not have the words to notice.

Take your children to church.
We mean that without qualification. In the Divine Service, God is doing something. His Law shows us our sin, His Gospel shows us our Savior, the body and blood are actually given for the forgiveness of sins. Nothing we build improves on it, replaces it, or belongs in the same category as it. If this app ever competes with Sunday morning for your family's attention, delete it.
No app converts anyone. No streak counter produces repentance. What an app can do is remove friction from the part that is ours to do, which is knowing the thing.
The catechism is free. Always.
Published early so nothing about it is a surprise later. It has to pay for itself to still be here in 20 years.

Pricing is proposed and not yet final. If it changes before launch, the waitlist hears it first, and the founding rate is honored either way.
The ones people ask first.
Is this supposed to replace church?
No, and if it ever starts to, delete it. The gifts are given in the Divine Service. This teaches the words, which is a different job.
What ages is it for?
A nine-year-old and a sixty-year-old work the same catechism question in the same week, each at their own depth. One household, one text.
Which tradition is this?
Confessional Lutheran, of the Book of Concord variety. We use the plain description because the shorter label has collected too much baggage to be useful.
When does it launch?
The catechism track comes first, and founding members get in before anyone else. Join the waitlist and you will hear the date before it is public.
Ten minutes a day, and a decision about who teaches them.
Not your attention. Attention is cheap and already overspent. Ten minutes, and the assumption that your children will know the faith only if someone sits down and teaches it to them, and that the someone is you.
