Why Righteously Was Made
Righteously is a daily Bible, prayer, and journal app that helps you build a daily faith rhythm with Jesus: three short steps a day, on a roadmap through the whole Bible. Here’s why it exists.
It Started with a Sermon Note
I was taking notes on my phone during a sermon, in the plain notes app it came with. The pastor read a verse, and I wanted to link it right into that day’s notes so I could find it again. I couldn’t. The verse lived in one app and my notes in another. So I ended up forgetting about it because it wasn’t in one place.
Around the same time, my wife kept telling me she wanted to read the Bible every day. She kept trying, but the apps she found felt general and templated, made for someone else. Nothing felt made for her. So bringing everything into one place, and helping her keep a steady rhythm, became the first goal.
Everyone Said the Same Thing
Friends, family, church home groups, and Christian content creators online all told me some version of it:
- They started strong with daily reading, then drifted.
- They forgot to pray, or didn’t know what to pray about.
- Some had never read the Bible all the way through.
- Most only thought about Scripture once a week, at church.
What they asked for was simple. It was a way to see their Bible progress visually and have guidance on what to pray about each day. They wanted one place for reading, devotionals, prayer, and stylized biblical notes, and something in general to keep them in God’s Word between Sundays. That’s how Righteously came to be.
What Makes Righteously Different
Most Bible apps have reading, devotionals, and a journal. Righteously does too. The difference is in how they work.
A Roadmap, Not a Checklist
Reading plans are usually a list. Hit a long reading stretch and end up at 1 Kings and it’s hard to see how far you’ve already come. The Journey lays the Bible out as a roadmap instead, book by book from Genesis to Revelation, so it feels like walking a road, one book at a time.
A Journal Built for Sermon Notes
Link the verse your pastor is preaching right into your notes, start a Reflection with that day’s devotional verse already added, or add any verse you want to journal about. Bold, italicize, highlight, and add lists. Then sort everything into Bible Notes, Sermon Notes, and Reflections, to find it again midweek.
Three Short Steps a Day
Read today’s devotional, pray through the day’s prayer topic, and read on in the Bible, manually or through the visual roadmap. Finish all three to add a day to your streak and keep your daily rhythm with Jesus consistent one day at a time.
Reminders and a Weekly Verse
Turn on a Quiet Time reminder, and it nudges you only on days you haven’t finished your three steps. And every Sunday, a Verse of the Week arrives to start your week in God’s Word.
Simple by Design
No Ads, No Endless Feeds
Nothing to scroll through. Open the app, take today’s three steps, and get on with your day.
Yours to Delete Anytime
Delete your account and everything in it, right from the app, whenever you want.
Who It’s For
Righteously is for anyone who wants a steadier daily rhythm with Jesus. It was shaped by millennials, Gen Z and the next generation of people following Jesus, teens 13 and up included, because they kept telling me the tools they had didn’t fit. It works for families too: the Family Plan gives Premium to up to four people, and each person keeps their own quiet time on their own account.
