Potentially Asked Questions

Harvous is a space to save, organize, and find your Bible study notes. Think of it as a home for all those notes from reading the Bible, listening to sermons, and attending study groups—organized automatically so you can actually make sense then, now, and later.

Harvous is a notes app designed to complement your Bible reading experience. Use it alongside your favorite Bible reader app or physical Bible. When you type a scripture reference, that scripture text is automatically generated as a note for you. We currently support BSB, ESV, KJV, NKJV, NIV, NLT, NET, NASB 1995 , CSB, AMP, and MSG.

Harvous works on any device with a modern web browser. For a better mobile experience on your tablet or phone you can “Add to Home Screen” and it becomes more like an app.

It's completely free to use. There will be paid features soon, but nothing now. Expect paid features to have the classic monthly or yearly subscription option.

A thread is a collection of related notes. Instead of organizing by date or book, threads let you group thoughts by topic or theme or however you want. This is your breadcrumb of study.

Just you, unless you want to share it with others. If you decide to share there will be a unique sharable link that is created.

Nah. Harvous works for anyone exploring the Bible - whether you're curious, new to faith, or been studying for years. Your questions and thoughts are welcome, wherever you are.

At this time there are no group features but paid group features will be coming later.

This is a hot topic. We have strong stances on where and how AI should be used in Bible study. Right now there are no AI features for the core note taking experience. However, we do have exciting plans for paid features in the future. Think Duolingo for Bible study ;)

Absolutely! Just go to Settings > My Data and you'll see export options.

Yes.

Hey, I’m Derek! I'm a Christian, husband, and dad to 2 dogs and 2 cats. By day I make websites full-time. In my freetime I work on Harvous (which I made primarly for me) and God-willing I will work on this full-time one day to then work on it for many years to come.

My journey with God started in 2016. It took a friend of mine asking me if I go to church and then a pastor and the church to open my eyes, ears, and heart. After 3 visits I got saved and since then my life has been one wild ride. 5 years later I'd get a calling from God centered around Proverbs 25:2 to build a tool with my creativity that only I knew how to make.

Before You Go

I made Harvous because I need to remember the Bible, better. Maybe you do too.

Maybe you're tired of scattered notes that disappear. Maybe you've had those moments where scripture clicks, but by next week, it's gone.

Harvous is my attempt to solve this. Not perfectly. Not revolutionarily. Just... thoughtfully.

If that resonates, I'd love to have you try it. You can always email me derek@harvous.com
