Private by design, not by setting

  • Only you can read your journal

    It stays on your phone, unless you turn on a backup that’s locked with a passphrase only you know. We never see what you write.

  • Transcribed on your iPhone

    On iPhones with iOS 26 or later, the sermon is turned into text on the phone itself.

  • Recordings are saved on your phone

    If audio has to go to a server to be transcribed, we delete it straight after.

  • No ads. No tracking.

    No ad networks and no tracking. AI only reads your sermon after you say yes.

Questions

Is Smible free?

Yes. Recording, notes, the Bible, daily lessons and streaks are free. Smible Plus adds podcast and audio file imports and family mode. You’ll see the price in the app before you subscribe.

Does my church need to be on Smible?

No. You can record any sermon yourself. If your church publishes on Smible, its sermons arrive as notes and lessons without you recording anything.

What happens to my recording?

Recordings are saved on your phone. On iPhones with iOS 26 or later, Smible transcribes them on the phone. On Android and older iPhones, or when the on-phone text isn’t clear enough, the audio goes to our transcription provider and is deleted straight after. Notes and lessons are written by our AI partner, and only after you agree.

Do I need an account?

No. You can record, read and learn without signing up. Sign in with Apple, Google or email when you want to sync, join a group or follow your church.

Which Bible translations are included?

The World English Bible, the King James Version and the Bible in Basic English are built in and work offline.

Can my children use it?

Through family mode (part of Plus), a parent adds child profiles. Kids get a picture story, a two-choice quiz and a sticker from each sermon, with no social features and no account of their own.

Try it this week.
