Frequently asked.

Yes — completely. Every lesson, study tool, quest, and feature is available to every user at no cost. The Shop uses Mites (earned through quests), not real money. There are no ads, no paywalls, no premium tiers, no sponsorships.

The one exception is Lumen's AI chat, which has a daily credit limit of 5 messages. The developer personally pays for every AI conversation — see the Knowledge Center for full transparency.

Every AI message costs real money in API fees — roughly $0.001 to $0.01 depending on complexity. Since Gospify is free with no ads, the developer pays out of pocket for every conversation. The 5-credit daily limit keeps this sustainable while still giving everyone generous access.

The app uses prompt caching, lightweight-model routing, and offline-first answers to reduce costs 60–90% per message. And every other Lumen feature — topics, cross-references, word studies, flashcards, reading plans, maps, timeline — is unlimited and always free.

The default translation is the World English Bible (WEB), a modern, readable, public-domain translation. For verse-comparison features in Lumen, you can also view any passage side-by-side across KJV, NIV, ESV, and NASB.

Almost everything. All lessons, the daily verse, study content, flashcards, quizzes, reading plans, biblical maps, and the biblical timeline are stored locally on your device.

The only feature that requires internet is the AI chat in Lumen (Ask Lumen) — which sends your question to Claude and receives a reply. iCloud sync (iOS / macOS) and Supabase sync (Android) also require connectivity, but both are optional.

Unfortunately, once a streak is lost beyond the grace period, it cannot be recovered. The streak system is meaningful only because it's honest — restoring streaks on request would dissolve that meaning.

Your longest-ever streak is always remembered and displayed. And enabling a Sabbath rest day in Settings automatically preserves your streak once per week.

Only if you opt in. On iOS / macOS, enable iCloud Sync in Settings — your progress, streak, achievements, Lumen data, and more are synced to your iCloud. On Android, sign in with email, Google, or Apple — progress is synced to your private row in our Supabase database.

Without sync, your data is stored only on the current device. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what's synced and how.

No — Gospify is ecumenical. You can set your preference to Catholic, Protestant, or Both in Settings, and the app will tailor cross-references and select study units accordingly. The core lessons and study tools are designed to be respectful and applicable across all Christian traditions.

From a curated pool of 365 carefully selected verses — one for each day of the year. The selection is deterministic, so the same verse appears on the same date every year. You can look forward to revisiting meaningful passages annually.

Tap the daily verse card on the Today page to read it in full context, with cross-references and a Lumen entry point.

Lumen is powered by Anthropic's Claude. The system prompt explicitly requires it to:

• Explain verses, theology, and church history accurately.
• Respect both Catholic and Protestant traditions.
• Include specific verse references in every substantive reply.
• Never fabricate or invent Bible verses.
• Present multiple interpretive traditions fairly.

That said, AI replies are provided as-is for educational purposes. For important theological questions, consult your pastor, priest, or trusted spiritual advisor.

iPhone & iPad — native SwiftUI, requires iOS 17+. Includes Home-screen widget, Siri Shortcuts, Face ID journal lock.

Mac — a proper native Mac app with sidebar and ⌘1–⌘8 shortcuts, requires macOS 14 Sonoma+.

Android — Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, feature parity with iOS, shipping soon once in-app billing and the Lumen proxy land. See the platforms section on the home page for the latest status.

Your streak and library sync across every device you own.

Yes — every notification category is independently toggleable. Settings → Notifications has a master "Daily Reminder" switch at the top (one-tap silence everything), and below it eleven per-category toggles: daily verse, streak warning, review due, level close, welcome back, weekly summary, quest rewards, reading plan, verse of the week, holy days, and pilgrim journey.

Flipping a toggle off immediately cancels any already-scheduled notification for that category — you don't have to wait for the next one to "skip." Settings are device-local on purpose, so silencing on your phone doesn't silence your iPad.

Yes. If the "Holy days" notification toggle is on, Gospify schedules two alerts for the next feast on your tradition-filtered liturgical calendar: an eve-before notification at 7 PM the day before, and a morning-of notification at 7 AM on the day itself.

Coverage includes Advent, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Easter, Pentecost, Christmas, plus Catholic-only days (Assumption, Immaculate Conception, All Saints, Corpus Christi, Sacred Heart) and Protestant-only days (Reformation Day, Transfiguration Sunday, World Communion Sunday). Your Tradition setting controls which days appear.

Yes. Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German inflect adjectives and participles by grammatical gender, so a female user seeing "Estás listo" instead of "Estás lista" is a small daily wrong note. Settings → "How We Address You" offers three choices: She / Her, He / Him, or Prefer not to say (the default).

Your choice applies in two places: inflectable UI strings (powered by Apple's Foundation Morphology type) and Lumen AI responses (your preference is passed into Lumen's system prompt so generated text agrees with you). The choice stays on-device and only the broad category — feminine, masculine, or unset — is ever referenced.

English-only users: this setting has no visible effect, since English doesn't inflect by grammatical gender.
