Pulpit Delivery Mode for iPad

Preach from your iPad with sermon notes and active Scripture side by side.

Most Bible apps are built for study. Most notes apps are built for writing. Most slide tools are built for what the congregation sees. PewPad's Delivery Mode is built for what the preacher carries into the pulpit — sermon notes on one side, the verse you are about to read on the other, and nothing distracting in between.

Sermon notes and Scripture, side by side

The signature Delivery Mode layout splits the iPad screen into a large, readable manuscript pane and an active Scripture pane. Tap any reference in your notes — or speak it — and the corresponding passage opens beside the manuscript. You never break eye contact to find a verse, and you never lose your place in the sermon.

Both panes are tuned for pulpit reading: typography is calibrated for distance, line-height is comfortable, and a parchment-style background reduces glare under sanctuary lighting.

Timing cues without turning preaching into a presentation

Set a planned duration before you walk up. A discreet countdown timer keeps you informed without dominating the screen, and PewPad surfaces gentle cues at 15 minutes remaining, 5 minutes remaining, and a final wrap-up nudge — so you can land the message without watching a clock.

Built for low light, long sermons, and live reality

Dark mode is not an afterthought; it is the default for evening services and dim sanctuaries. Adjustable delivery font scale lets bifocal-wearing pastors read at any size. An exit confirmation prevents accidentally swiping out of Delivery Mode mid-message. And every preview before delivery shows you exactly what the pulpit screen will look like.

Hands-free Scripture lookup during preaching

PewPad pairs Delivery Mode with on-device voice reference activation. Speak naturally — "turn to John 3:16," "let's look at Romans 8," "read with me from Ephesians 2" — and the passage opens in the Scripture pane without you tapping a thing. Speech recognition runs on the device, so audio never leaves your iPad.

Frequently asked

Does Delivery Mode have a sermon timer?

Yes. Set a planned duration before you start. A countdown timer runs alongside your notes and surfaces warnings at 15 minutes remaining, 5 minutes remaining, and at wrap-up — without dominating the screen.
