Wrinkly is a free Scripture-memory app from Oakwood Software Consulting that helps you hide God's Word in your heart through reading, games, and recall tests rather than rote drill.^1 Pick a passage, read it, play with it, then test what stuck, a loop built so memorization feels like time with Scripture, not a chore.^1
You can follow suggested goals that range from a single verse to several passages, or build a personalized goal of your own, and a streak tracker helps you stay consistent.^3 Wrinkly currently supports 44 Bible texts in 57 locales, so you memorize in the translation you read.^7 The consumer app is free for everyone, with no ads, and your progress syncs across iPhone, iPad, Android, and the web when you sign in with the same email.^2^5
Ryan O'Dowd started Wrinkly in 2022 after he and a friend challenged each other to memorize passages and found that reading before bed or listening in the car was not enough. In a faith.tools interview he said: "there was a need for something more engaging and interactive to drive intentional time in Scripture and to aid in committing the verses to memory. And so, Wrinkly was born!"^4 He built the app at Oakwood Software Consulting and still ships it as maker-led work.^4
Teachers can create classroom goals, assign readings, verse lessons, and memory tests, and follow student progress through a separate teacher portal.^5 Camps, missions teams, schools, and youth groups can run verse-memory fundraisers while Wrinkly tracks pledges, invoicing, and payments.^6 The classroom and fundraising services for organizations are separate from the free consumer app; see the schools page for how that pricing works.^5
One Android reviewer wrote in June 2026: "I have tried many scripture memory apps but this is the one I keep going back to and the one I recommend to friends."^3
