Christian Journaling Apps | Document Your Journey Tools

Pencil Bible is a digital Bible journaling app designed for iPad users, offering tools for drawing, note-taking, and visual engagement with Scripture. The app includes a free tier with limited annotation (up to 10 chapters), while full access requires a paid subscription or one-time purchase. Premium Bible translations are sold separately, and features may vary by platform.

Spirit Notes is a church-focused note-taking app designed for Christians to record sermons, Bible studies, and personal revelations. It combines high-quality audio recording with timestamped notes, auto-complete Scripture references, and a customizable Bible reader. Notes can be organized by preacher, topic, or event, and shared via a single link that includes text, audio, and images. The app offers free features but full access—including syncing, advanced Bible tools, and unlimited recordings—requires a paid upgrade

Overflow Quiet Time Companion is designed to help believers love God and love others “from the overflow” of a consistent, Spirit-led devotional life. Built by two brothers in Christ, it works alongside popular Christian apps—like YouVersion Bible, BibleProject, Through the Word, Soulspace, Pause, and Twelve Discipleship—to create a deep, connected quiet time experience.

Restore + Revive Journal is a daily guided journaling app designed to help believers deepen their walk with God through consistent, Spirit‑led reflection. Using a simple voice‑to‑text interface and over 450 days of prompts, it encourages honest conversations with the Lord about real‑life topics. While the app can be downloaded for free, continued use beyond the initial 30‑day access requires a paid subscription.

Blank Spaces Launcher is a minimalist iOS home screen tool designed to remove distractions and help users reclaim focus. It replaces cluttered app grids with a clean widget that gives quick access to only the most important apps, mutes badges, and hides icons to encourage intentional phone use. While it promotes digital well-being, it is developed by a commercial entity and operates on a subscription model: $3.99/month, $17.99/year, or $23.99 lifetime, with a 7‑day free trial.

Church Notes is a Bible‑integrated note‑taking app that automatically inserts Scripture into your notes as you type references. It supports multiple translations, offers offline access, and includes devotional templates such as the S.O.A.P. method for personal study and sermon notes.

Life Bible is a subscription‑based Bible study app developed by Tecarta, Inc., offering multiple translations (including NIV, ESV, NLT, KJV, and more), daily reading plans, devotionals, and study tools. It features offline access, audio Bibles, verse highlighting, note‑taking, and cross‑reference tools. While free to download, most premium translations, study resources, and devotional content are locked behind in‑app purchases or a recurring subscription (Life Bible Plus).

BibleMood is a minimalist Bible app that pairs Scripture with ambient music and mood-based themes. Users select emotional states like “anxious,” “grateful,” or “hopeful,” and receive curated verses with calming backgrounds, devotionals, and guided prayers. It’s designed to support mental wellbeing through biblical reflection and journaling. While spiritually themed and emotionally sensitive, BibleMood is operated for profit by Walk with Jesus Ltd., and is not affiliated with any nonprofit ministry.

Anchor: Christian Affirmations is a subscription-based app developed by Rooftop Labs, LLC. It provides daily check-ins, gratitude journaling, confession prompts, and AI-powered encouragement rooted in Scripture. While the app is designed to help believers deepen their walk with Jesus, it operates as a commercial product with in-app purchases and subscription fees rather than as a nonprofit ministry initiative.

Dreamnl is a Christian dream journal app designed to help believers reflect on their dreams with prayerful attention. Using AI, it generates gentle overviews, reflection questions, and prayers to guide users in bringing their dreams before God. While it emphasizes spiritual formation and avoids “decoding” or generic symbolism, the app is operated by a private company (Made Responsively Ltd) with a commercial structure, making it a profit-modeled entity rather than a nonprofit resource.
