Cherub - The modern guide to ancient wisdom

by
Cherub is a free Bible reading companion built around the science of retention. Most people have trouble getting started, and finish a chapter feeling like nothing stuck. Cherub fixes that - with historical context before you read, an audio reader that follows along word by word, and an optional quiz to cement what you learned. Currently free with full Genesis support. More books coming soon!

I built Cherub to solve my own problem. I kept starting Bible reading plans and quitting, not because I didn't want to engage, but because nothing was sticking. I'd finish a chapter and realize I'd retained almost nothing. It was crazy to me that we are reading this book that's thousands of years old in the same way amidst our modern technology. So, I spent a few months building a reading companion that uses cognitive science; bimodal reading (audio + text simultaneously), historical context before each chapter, and spaced quiz questions after. All free, no catch. Genesis is fully built out. I'd love honest feedback from anyone who tries it: what works, what's missing, what would make you actually use this. Thanks for checking it out 🙏
