Hold Fast: A still small feed

Hold Fast is a still, small feed of scripture: one verse at a time, set on a calm photograph, with nothing to sell and nothing tracking you.

Scroll the way you already do, but land on the King James Bible instead. Each card shows one verse, centered and easy to read. Stay with the ones that speak to you. Hold Fast learns what you linger on, save and share, and it learns on your device only. Those signals never leave your device.

READ • A calm vertical feed of Old and New Testament verses (King James Version) • Tap Open chapter to read the whole chapter. When a long verse doesn't fit, Full verse opens the chapter at that verse, highlighted • Save verses to come back to • Share or save any card as an image

KEEP THE HABIT • A gentle daily reading streak • Optional reminders at the time you choose • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus an Apple Watch app and complications for a verse on your wrist • Pick a look that suits you

A SMALL, KIND COMMUNITY (OPTIONAL) • Leave a short note on a verse for others to read, and appear on the streak board under a display name you choose • Every note is checked for kindness on your device before it's shared • Report, hide or block anything that isn't uplifting • Delete everything you've shared at any time: Settings › About › Delete my shared data

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Hold Fast shows no ads and has no analytics, no tracking SDKs and no separate account • Shared notes and your streak-board name use your iCloud account through Apple's CloudKit; everything else stays on your devices • Hold Fast doesn't collect your contacts, location or photos
