Struggling to make Bible memory stick? The Bible Memory App (formerly Scripture Typer) uses a proven three-step system — Type It, Memorize It, Master It — that engages kinesthetic, visual, and auditory learning to help Scripture move from short-term recall into long-term memory.^1 With over two million downloads and thirty million verses memorized, it's one of the most widely used Scripture memorization tools available on iOS, Android, and the web.^2
The app's core mechanic asks you to type just the first letter of each word in a verse, building muscle memory while you internalize the text. A spaced-repetition review system schedules verses for follow-up at optimal intervals so they don't fade over time. PRO features add flash cards, heat maps that highlight your trouble spots, audio recording for hands-free review, and speech recognition.^3 The newer Bible Intelligence tier layers in AI-powered cross-references, original-language word studies, and historical context — designed around the principle that "Scripture interprets Scripture."^4
Founded by Brett and McKenzie Golson in Birmingham, Alabama, Millennial Apps launched the platform in 2010 as a personal project to memorize God's Word. Brett, a computer programmer who studied memorization techniques in college, built the app around the conviction that "the Bible is the foundation of how we hear from God" and that memorization helps believers "more clearly hear His voice throughout the day."^5 The app supports 10+ Bible translations including ESV, NIV, KJV, NASB, NLT, and Reina-Valera 1960 in Spanish.

"In six years, this App has helped me master over 2,000 verses. I've also utilized the app to take on the challenge of memorizing large chunks of scripture including the Sermon on the Mount and the book of 1 John." — Lane Corley, church planter and Send Network catalyst^6
"It's incredible how the Lord will bring up occasions for which having the verse you took the time to memorize can benefit yourself, used in encouraging others, witnessing, or rebuking the lies of the enemy." — App Store review^3
