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 into threads that 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 (NET Bible) is automatically generated as a note for you.
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.
Your "My Home" is actually a space that has all your threads and notes. Any space you create (shared spaces coming later) is a focused area made up threads and notes you've chosen to have together.
A thread is a collection of related notes. Instead of organizing by date or book, threads let you group thoughts by topic or theme. One note can live in multiple threads, because your thoughts connect in different ways. You can also choose to share these with a link anyone can access.
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.
Nope. 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.
Right now, Harvous is great for personal study. You can share a thread or note with others. However, specific group features are coming later with shared spaces. Until then, your personal notes work great for preparing to lead or participate in groups.

When you reach 1,000 notes, upgrade to unlimited for $36/year or $6/month. All your notes remain accessible and searchable. The paid plan unlocks creating additional notes
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).
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
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.
