Ever walk out of church on Sunday and realize by Monday you've already forgotten the sermon? Sermon Keeper is a purpose-built iOS app that lets you record the service, take timestamped notes in the moment, and walk away with an AI-powered transcript and summary — so nothing that spoke to you gets lost.[^1] Tap once to start recording. Add notes anytime during the sermon and each one saves the exact timestamp — tap it later to jump straight back to that moment in the audio. After the service, AI transcription turns the full recording into text and pulls out the key points automatically.[^2] Type a reference like "John 3:16" and the full verse appears in a card (KJV, with more translations coming). Snap a photo of your open Bible and Sermon Keeper generates a SOAP study journal entry — Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer — ready to revisit any day.[^2] Built by solo indie developer Artur Subbotkin, Sermon Keeper launched on the App Store in early 2026 and is already on version 1.1.0 with active development.[^2] The app is designed for busy churchgoers, Bible study groups, and new believers who want to capture sermon insights without the friction of a general-purpose notes app. Everything syncs to iCloud, no account required, and recordings stay on your device.[^1] ### Notable - Full English and Spanish interface for a global Christian audience[^2] - Folders for organizing sermons by series, pastor, or topic[^2] - Export notes via email or plain text for sharing with small groups[^1] - Active blog with sermon note-taking guides and app comparisons[^3] [^1]: https://sermonkeeper.app [^2]: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sermon-keeper-ai-bible-notes/id6758739935 [^3]: https://sermonkeeper.app/blog/
