Homeward is a Catholic-first app for daily prayer, Scripture, and private reflection, with an AI companion that cites its sources and stays within clear boundaries.
Open the doorWrite to us — support@homewardbible.com
A private Bible-reflection app — not clergy, therapy, or a sacrament.
Some evenings call for a quiet review. Others leave something unresolved. Homeward helps you slow down, consider Scripture, and choose what comes next.
One practice with two expressions: Prayer for Today — settle, the day in the Church Year, a passage of Scripture chosen for the day, a moment to listen and respond, one step, a closing prayer — and the Evening Examen: arrive, give thanks, review, name, choose. No streaks. No punishment for missing a day.
Bring what is weighing on you, and the companion asks one question at a time, attaching Scripture only from Homeward's own Bible library. Ask about the faith, and the answer comes cited from the Church's own sources — with its sources shown, and with an honest ‘This is best answered by someone who can know the particulars’ when a question is not one a companion should settle.
An AI companion grounded in Catholic teaching. Every Scripture passage is drawn from Homeward's Bible library, and every citation is verified before it appears.
It is not confession to clergy, spiritual direction, therapy, or a sacrament. It cannot grant absolution, determine whether you are forgiven, or speak for God.
A library of the whole Catholic canon, read on a scroll. Search a passage or bring a question; Homeward shows the text, its citation and the surrounding context — never an invented quotation.
World English Bible (Catholic) · Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition · Bible Crampon (1923) · Biblia Sacra Vulgatæ Editionis (Clementine Vulgate) at launch · every citation verified against the text
Your entries live in a cloister garden: a month with a gold mark on the days you wrote, a folio for the day, the notes you carry forward. Encrypted on the device before they are stored and never synced. Your journal and Examen entries are never uploaded; a carried note leaves the device only when you choose to bring it into a reflection, and the one step you carry is stored sealed to your device's key so tomorrow can ask how it stands.
The seasons, feasts, and observances that shape the Christian year.
Catholic by default. Feasts with a longer scroll open it for members of Homeward Plus; the first passage is free to read.
Take a candle, place it, and carry the flame to it; it burns down in real time. Nothing here is sold, and your candles never leave the device.
Your reflections form a private record you control.
Bring your notes to a priest, a counselor, or a trusted friend when that would help. Homeward is a companion for reflection, not a confessor, a spiritual director, or a substitute for your parish.
Prayer for Today, Scripture, the Candle Chapel, the Church Year, and the complete written Evening Examen are free without a membership. They will remain so.
Homeward Plus opens with the public launch. Nothing is charged today.
Homeward is free to download. Homeward Plus is an optional subscription bought inside the app through the App Store or Google Play: planned at US$59.99 a year after a 7-day free trial (about $5 a month, billed $59.99 once a year), or US$9.99 a month. It renews automatically at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings; the free trial becomes the annual plan unless cancelled before it ends. Free trials and introductory offers, when we make them, convert to a paid subscription at the disclosed price unless cancelled before the trial ends. Eligibility limits may apply. Prices may change; your store shows the exact price in your currency, and the final price and terms are shown in the store before you buy.
Homeward is built and operated by Ilia Libelman, a self-employed individual in Israel. Homeward is not operated by a company; an Israeli limited company is planned. Write to support@homewardbible.com — a person reads every message.

It opens unlimited Reflect conversations, the Weekly Review and the Church Year's event scrolls.
Homeward is Catholic-first: answers about the faith are grounded in Catholic teaching and cited from the Church's own sources, the calendar is Catholic by default, and the Bible library carries the whole Catholic canon. It is an independent project and carries no ecclesiastical approval; your own church and tradition remain the authority.
No. Reflect is an AI companion, not a person, not clergy, and not a sacrament. It never speaks as God or Jesus, never grants absolution or assigns penance, and never diagnoses. It is not confession, spiritual direction or therapy.
Only from translations stored in Homeward's own database, never from the AI. Today those are public-domain editions; their names and attribution lines are on the Licenses page.
Your journal, the Examen and your carried notes are encrypted on the device before they are stored and never synced. Your journal and Examen entries are never uploaded; a carried note leaves the device only when you choose to bring it into a reflection, and only as part of that turn. There is no account: a key on your device stands for this copy of the app. Nothing you write trains AI, and nothing is sold.
