Papyrus Join the waitlist

Coming February 2027 · Tolle lege

Your handwritten study notes, on every verse they're about.

Photograph a page from your study notebook. Papyrus reads your handwriting, finds every passage you wrote about, and files each note beside its verse. The next time you open Philippians 2, your notes are already there.

How it works

From the notebook page to the passage.

No retyping and no tagging by hand. Write the way you always have; Papyrus does the filing.

  1. A handwritten notebook page on Galatians 3, captured in the Papyrus scanner.

    1

    Scan the page

    Use the camera, or pick a photo you've already taken. Any notebook, in your own hand.

  2. Papyrus has read the page and found nine notes, each labeled with its verse, such as Galatians 3:1 and 3:2.

    2

    Papyrus reads it

    Your handwriting becomes text, and each note is matched to its verse, even from a "(v.2)" in the margin. Check it over, then save.

  3. The Philippians 2 reader with a handwritten note opened beside verse 6.

    3

    Open your Bible

    A small mark appears beside every verse you wrote about. Tap it and your note is right there with the text.

Actual screens from the app, using real notebook pages on Galatians 3 and Philippians 2.

All in one place

Your Bible, notebook, lexicon, sermon notes and prayer list. One app.

Most of us study with a Bible app, a paper notebook, a lexicon on the shelf and sermon notes in a drawer. Papyrus keeps them together and ties every one of them back to the text, so what you learn is there the next time you read.

I

Ask Scribe

A study partner that knows your notes. Ask what you've written about faith, or how your Philippians notes connect to the Greek. Scribe answers from your own scanned pages, sermons and journal, and tells you where you wrote it.

  • Searches everything you've scanned, written and recorded
  • Notices connections between notes, sermons and passages

Scribe is a tool for study and reflection, not a substitute for your pastor or your church.

Scribe answering 'How do my Philippians 2 notes connect to the Greek word morphe?' by quoting the user's own note on Philippians 2:6.

II

Sermon Scribe

Record the sermon on Sunday, or paste a YouTube link. Papyrus writes up the outline, key quotes, the passages cited and questions for reflection, with a full transcript, and marks every cited verse in your reader.

  • Overview, main points, key scriptures and quotes
  • Questions to reflect on during the week

The notes are a draft you can edit, never a substitute for sitting under the preached Word.

III

Strong's Greek and Hebrew

Press any word in the King James text to see the Greek or Hebrew behind it: the original word, its transliteration, Strong's number and definition. Every indexed word is covered, Old Testament and New.

  • The full Strong's dictionary, built in and offline
  • Notes on a word stay with that word
The lexicon for 'form' in Philippians 2:6: Greek μορφή, morphē, Strong's G3444, meaning shape; figuratively, nature.

IV

A journal and a prayer list

Write reflections and devotionals, keep the people and requests you're carrying, and mark each day you pray for them. When a prayer is answered, record how.

  • Requests by topic and by person, with a daily focus
  • Answered prayers kept, not deleted
  • Export your journal as a PDF

V

A Bible set like a printed one

Source Serif type on warm paper, a drop-cap chapter numeral, and verse numbers that hang in the margin so the text runs clean. Read in paragraphs or verse by verse.

Six translations are built in and work offline: the King James, Berean Standard, World English, American Standard, Young's Literal and Webster's. Compare any verse across them.

Philippians 2 in the King James Version with a large chapter numeral, section headings, and small marks beside verses that have notes.

And more

  • Notebooks. Keep scanned pages together by study, in order, and search everything you've ever written.
  • Reading plans and memory verses. Daily plans with devotionals, and verses to commit to heart.
  • Highlights and tags. Mark verses and gather them by theme.
  • Works offline. The Bible text and lexicon live on your phone.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
