Release
Berea is in open beta
The Bible app that follows along with the sermon is now open to testers on TestFlight — free, no waitlist, and no account to create.
Berea is open for testing. It’s free, there’s no waitlist, and there’s nothing to sign up for — join the beta on TestFlight and it’s on your phone.
What it does
Tap once when the sermon starts. Berea listens for the passages being preached — whether they’re named outright or only quoted in passing — and turns to each one as it comes. Your eyes stay on the page instead of a search field.
When the message ends, you keep it: the transcript, an outline, and questions to sit with during the week.
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. Acts 17:11 · World English Bible
The Bereans listened to the preaching with open Bibles, then went and checked it for themselves. That’s the whole idea, and the reason the app carries their name.
What to know before you install
- iPhone, iOS 26 or later. There’s no iPad or Android build yet.
- It works offline. The full Bible text ships inside the app, so reading and searching never touch the network.
- There’s no account. Nothing to create, nothing to log into.
- Audio is never stored. Sound becomes text as you go, and only the text is kept — on your device.
Two optional Premium features do send data out for processing, both off until you turn them on. The privacy policy explains exactly what moves and what stays put.
Telling me what’s broken
The most useful thing you can send is a passage Berea missed — or one it turned to that the preacher never mentioned. Screenshot it and choose Share Beta Feedback in TestFlight.
