devo

A Bible app for your small group

Share with your friends, or just the group you choose.

Most Bible apps want an audience: more followers, more feed, more time in the app. devo wants the opposite. You read the Bible with your friends, and you can make a group to share with just some of them, like your church small group or your roommates. The people who actually know you, reading alongside you, with no public feed.

Friends, or just a group, you pick

Add the friends you trust. Then share each reflection with all of them, or create a group and share with just that group instead. Your church small group, your roommates, two or three friends, whoever it is. You choose the audience every time you post.

No public feed, no followers, no algorithm

Make your reflections public and you start writing for strangers. The honesty drains out and the performance creeps in. devo keeps it private, so what you write is for the people you trust with it. There’s no number to chase and nothing deciding what you see. No leaderboard, no ranking, no feed. Just your friends’ reflections, in order, when they post them.

Post to unlock: write before you read

You can’t lurk. Read today’s verse, write your own reflection, and that unlocks your friends’. Everyone shows up, or no one sees anything. That’s the post-first devotional idea devo is built on.

A shared tree your group grows

Your streak is a little tree that grows on the days you and your friends show up. Miss one day, it’s fine. Miss two in a row and it withers. It’s kept in your past trees, remembered, not erased. A forgiving streak you grow together, not a number you grind alone.

Your reflections stay yours

You decide who sees each one: just you, your friends, or a group you made. Nothing is public unless you choose it. And you can add the reflections you want to your profile, so the ones that mattered are easy to come back to.

Free, no ads, no paywall

devo is free. No ads, no subscription, nothing to upgrade. If that ever changes, you’ll hear it from me first, not from a paywall.
