An iOS study companion that answers questions about scripture with citations, searches semantically, and keeps working with no signal — the AI runs on the phone using Apple's Foundation Models.

The interesting part

  • 01

    Offline-first was the constraint that shaped everything: on-device inference, local vector index, sync when there's a connection.

  • 02

    Answers carry citations back to specific verses. An uncited answer is worse than no answer here.

  • 03

    Guided journeys turn open-ended study into a structured programme with progress, streaks and badges.

  • 04

    A FastAPI backend handles auth, the heavier chat path, journeys and annotation sync.
