Features

Everything in the first release of Penned Grace.

01Writing

Three modes: Trace, copy or type. All three count toward the day.
Pens and weights: Fountain pen, pencil or ballpoint, with five line weights. Pressure-sensitive pens like Apple Pencil and Samsung S Pen vary the line with pressure; fingers and basic capacitive styluses vary it with speed.
Writing grids: Dots, a four-square grid, a cross grid, or no grid.
Auto-advance: Pause for 1.2 seconds and the next word comes up. You can also step back and forward yourself.
Eraser, undo, clear: Made a mistake? Erase it and write again. Clear wipes the current character, and Undo brings it back.

Built-in translations: The Berean Standard Bible and the Chinese Union Version 1919 (Traditional and Simplified), offline.
Downloadable translation: The World English Bible, when you want it.
Parallel view: Open a second translation beside the passage.
Search: By reference or keyword. English word stems are matched.
Favorites: Keep the verses you want to write again.

Verse of the day: A 90-day rotation plus readings for five seasons of the church year. The day turns over at midnight.
Writing plans: Six free: Meeting Jesus in 7 Days, Psalm 23, Promises of Peace, the Sermon on the Mount, Psalm 119 and Advent in 28 Days. Four with Premium: Psalms in 30 Days, Proverbs in 31 Days, Philippians Selections and All of Philippians, with the first 3 days open to everyone.
A quiet pause: A moment of stillness and one of 30 prayers before writing. Easy to turn off.
Daily reminder: Off, 7:00, 12:00 or 21:00. Scheduled on your phone alone, never through a server.
Calendar and milestones: See each day’s mark on a calendar. Twelve milestones stay once earned.

On your phone first: Everything is stored on the device. Every feature works without signing up.
Nothing is uploaded: Your writing never leaves your phone. We cannot see it.
Part of your device backup: Your writing is included in your iCloud backup on iPhone and iPad, or your Google backup on Android, so it comes back when you restore a new device from that backup.
Delete everything: Deleting the app removes everything stored on your phone.

Three interface languages: English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, chosen separately from the translation.
Devices: iPhone and iPad with iOS / iPadOS 16.4 or later, and Android phones and tablets with Android 7.0 or later.
