The reading screen

The reading screen is the main view. It shows:

The current reading reference (book, chapter, or passage)
A timer (on by default)
A prayer prompt based on the passage
A notes section
A Bible Gateway link (shown by default, can be hidden)
A "Mark as complete" button

When you mark a reading as complete, Scripture Moment saves your progress and loads the next reading. Come back any time — you will always see your next passage, not missed days.

Reading screen with Bible Gateway link and collapsed Prayer, Time, and Notes sections — Default reading screen.

Reading screen with Bible Gateway, Prayer, Time, and Notes visible and expanded — All tools visible.

Minimal reading screen with only the passage reference and Mark Done button visible — Minimal screen after hiding optional tools.

Prayer prompts

Each reading includes a prayer prompt — a short sentence or question drawn from the passage to help you move from reading into prayer. The prayer summary is on by default. You can hide it in Settings if you prefer a simpler screen.

Notes

The notes section is on the reading screen. Write what stood out or a prayer response. Notes autosave while you write and can also be edited from your reading history later.

Reading history

The history screen lists all your completed readings in reverse order. Tap a card to expand it and see:

The reading reference
The prayer summary for that day
Your notes (editable)
The date completed

History screen with an expanded completed reading card, prayer summary, and editable notes — Tap a history card to review the prayer summary and add to your notes.

Reminders

Enable morning, afternoon, or evening reminders from Settings to keep a consistent reading cue. The reminder is a gentle nudge; it does not penalize you for missing it. Phone notifications work best after Scripture Moment is installed on your phone.

Settings

From Settings you can:

Toggle the timer on or off
Toggle the prayer summary on or off
Toggle the notes section on or off
Hide or show the Bible Gateway link
Set morning, afternoon, or evening reminders
Switch light/dark theme
Change your language
Change your reading plan or scope
Export your data

Settings screen showing Bible link, Prayer summary, Timer, and Notes toggles — Reading tools can be shown or hidden from Settings.

Bible Gateway link

Bible Gateway links are shown by default and can be hidden in Settings. The link opens the passage in Bible Gateway using a matching version for your selected reading language where available.

Scripture Moment does not host Bible text. The Bible Gateway link opens the passage in your browser or the Bible Gateway app.

Export

From Settings, you can export your reading history and notes. The export includes all completed readings, prayer summaries, your notes, and completion dates. Use this to keep a personal record or move your data to another tool.

Languages

The app supports multiple languages for the interface, reading plans, and prayer prompts. Switch languages from Settings at any time without losing your progress.
