in five minutes a day.

Take the 60-second quiz

Free. Personalized. Takes a minute.

The promise

Three things we won't do.

01

We won't take more than five minutes of your day.

Every Solomeh session is built to fit between a coffee and the bus. Open the app, read the day's passage, reflect, close. The depth comes from showing up, not from sitting longer.

02

We won't make you feel behind.

Miss a day, miss a week, the journey waits. No streak shaming. No "you're falling behind" notifications. Solomeh's gamification celebrates consistency, not performance.

03

We won't preach at you.

No "amados" or "anointed for breakthrough." Just Scripture, presented with care, by people who know it well and don't show off. The Word doesn't need a hype man.

How it works

Four steps. Then a habit.

  1. Step 1

    Take the 60-second quiz.

    Tell us where you've been with the Bible, where you want to grow, and how much time you have. The quiz is calm, not clinical. No "rate your faith from 1 to 10."

  2. Step 2

    Get your personalized path.

    Solomeh builds your first 30 days. Wisdom (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes), peace (Psalms), or faithfulness (the Gospels), based on what you said. Each day takes five minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Show up daily.

    One passage. One reflection. One short practice. The app remembers where you stopped. Pick up exactly there tomorrow.

  4. Step 4

    Watch the habit form.

    By day 30, you've read, reflected, and remembered more than most people read in a year. Streaks build. Practice deepens. Scripture stops being a chore.

In the app

Built for the five minutes you actually have.

Streaks that celebrate, never shame.

Day 1, day 30, day 200. Solomeh marks the moments that matter without making the missed days feel like failure.

One verse. One reflection. One tap.

The daily practice is short by design. The depth comes from returning, not from staying longer.

Scripture was meant to be lived, not checked off. The problem was never the Word. It was the path to it.

Why Solomeh

Not another Bible app.

There are 1,200 Bible apps in the App Store. Most of them are libraries with a search bar. Solomeh is the one designed for the practice itself.

Most Bible apps

A library. You open it, you scroll, you close it. No path. No progress. Same energy as opening the Notes app.

Solomeh

A guided practice. Open the app, the day is ready for you. Five minutes. Then you close it and go live your life.

Most Christian apps

Loud. Performative. "Beloved, today the Lord places on my heart…" before you've had your coffee.

Solomeh

Calm. Confident. Reads like a wise friend, not a stage preacher. Mature in faith, restrained in voice.

Most reading plans

"Read the Bible in a year." Day 4 you're in Numbers asking why this exists. Day 5 you're done.

Solomeh

Short, themed, personalized. The Bible is big. Solomeh meets you where you are and goes at your pace.

Frequently asked

Questions, honestly answered.

Is Solomeh free?

Yes. The core daily practice is free, forever. A premium tier with deeper studies and longer reading plans will be available later, but the daily five minutes that build the habit are always free.

Do I need to be religious to use Solomeh?

No. Solomeh is built for anyone who wants to engage with Scripture, whether you grew up in church, you're returning after years away, or you're curious for the first time. The tone is calm, never preachy. You set the pace.

How is Solomeh different from YouVersion or Hallow?

YouVersion is a library, you open it and scroll. Hallow is monastic, Catholic-coded, somber by design. Solomeh is a guided journey with real progression, in a tone that's warm without being performative. Five minutes a day, gamified for consistency, built for the kind of habit that quietly changes how you live.

How does the quiz work?

The quiz takes about 60 seconds. You answer a handful of questions about your background with the Bible, where you want to grow, and how much time you have on a typical day. Solomeh builds you a personalized 30-day starting path. Nothing in the quiz is graded. There are no wrong answers.

What translation of the Bible does Solomeh use?

The default is the NIV in English. You can switch from settings to ESV, NLT, KJV, or others as we add them. We picked the NIV as default because it balances accuracy and readability for a daily practice. Translation purists are welcome.

Can I use Solomeh offline?

Yes. Once your daily passage is loaded, you can read and reflect without a connection. Sync resumes when you're back online. Designed for commutes, planes, and quiet moments where signal is the least of your worries.

When will the Solomeh app be available?

Soon. The app is in final testing for App Store and Google Play. Take the quiz now to lock in your starting journey, and we'll send you a heads-up the moment the app is live. No spam, just a single message when it drops.

Why is it called Solomeh?

Solomeh comes from the Hebrew root Shalom, peace and wholeness. It's the same root that gave the world Solomon, the wise king, and Salome, the disciple who followed Jesus to the end. Three threads in one name: wisdom, peace, faithfulness. It's also short, distinctive, and pronounceable in any language.
