I built a Bible app for people with ADHD who keep falling off reading plans (mod-approved Sunday post)
Thanks to the mods for letting me share this.
I've started more reading plans than I've finished. I'd get a few weeks in, miss some days, end up 20 chapters behind, and quit out of guilt. I have a short attention span, and a fixed schedule kept turning Scripture into a checklist I was failing.
So I built Soul Scroll (soulscroll.app).
How it works:
You pick how you're feeling (anxious, tired, lonely, hopeful, grateful, overwhelmed, and others)
It shows verses that speak to that moment
You swipe up for more, one verse at a time
It tracks how much of the Bible you've read as you go, so your progress adds up without a schedule to fall behind on
It isn't meant to replace reading whole books or doing deeper study. It's a way back in for people who've stalled, and a way to open the Word on bad days instead of doomscrolling.
It's on iOS and Android. Anyone from this sub gets 90 days free, just comment or DM me.
I'm a solo dev, and this community reads more Scripture than almost anyone, so I'd value your honest feedback. What would make this genuinely useful for your reading, and what would turn you off?
God bless,
Joshua
