An overview of what PewPad does on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — from the notes you take in the pew to the sermon you preach.
PewPad is one private app for your life with the Word — the notes you take on Sunday, the study you do at the kitchen table, the devotional before work, and, if you preach, the sermon from first draft to pulpit. This page is the index. Each feature has its own page below.
Church notes with Main points, Scriptures, Takeaways, and Questions. Tap Listen and PewPad keeps a transcript and opens every passage the preacher names, suggesting others that fit what's said. Highlights in five meanings, each with its own notes.
A Bible reader with introductions to every book, translations side by side, cross references, commentary, Greek and Hebrew word study, and verse notes. KJV, WEB, ASV, and BSB built in, licensed translations, and more than 500 open Bibles in other languages. Study and devotional templates, and search in your own words — typed or spoken.
A purpose-built sermon editor with inline Bible references, commentary chips, and word-study insertion. Sermon import for existing PDF, DOCX, and image manuscripts.
A Rehearsal Studio with a virtual congregation that responds to your pacing and pauses, a Ready for Sunday check the night before, and a pulpit-ready layout with sermon notes and active Scripture side by side, a countdown timer with wrap-up cues, dark mode tuned for sanctuary lighting, adjustable delivery font scale, and on-device voice reference activation so passages open hands-free.
Local transcript capture, sermon delivery history with planned vs. actual duration, a private homiletic memory that indexes every sermon by Scripture and topic, recency-aware illustration suggestions, Insights for preparation and Scripture coverage, and a Ministry Kit that turns one sermon into listener handouts, small-group guides, and recap emails.
No. Church notes, Bible study, highlights, and devotionals are for everyone. Preachers also get Delivery Mode, the Rehearsal Studio, and Ministry Kit.
No. PewPad helps you prepare, deliver, remember, and multiply sermons you author yourself. It does not generate sermon manuscripts.
One app for iPad (iPadOS 26+), iPhone (iOS 26+), and Mac with Apple silicon (macOS 26+). iPad is the pulpit device; iPhone has its own layout for writing, study, church notes, and preaching from a phone; the Mac runs the iPad app in its own window. An optional Apple Watch app (watchOS 26+) gives time cues while you preach.
Yes. The Bible text, commentary, sermon library, voice recognition, and AI-assisted features are designed to work without a live internet connection.
Take notes during the service while PewPad writes the message down and opens every passage the preacher reads.
