Everything for gathering your Bible notes

However a note starts life - typed, handwritten, or a PDF handout - it ends up in the same place, linked to Scripture, and easy to find again.

Capture

Type it, photograph it, or drop in a PDF

Write straight into Ingathery with a simple rich-text editor and an editing toolbar (or markdown if you prefer).

Or reach for your phone. Photograph a page from your paper notebook, or export handwritten notes from an app on your tablet/iPad or E Ink tablet, and Ingathery automatically straightens, crops, and improves the image so it's clear and easy to read back. No squinting at a wonky, badly-lit photo.

  • Multiple pages at once, kept in order
  • Photo, colour document, or mono document modes, whichever suits the page
  • PDFs: sermon handouts, study sheets, scanned pages - viewable right alongside your other notes
Walking by faith, not by sight

Paul's confidence isn't in circumstances — 2 Corinthians 5:7 says we walk by faith, not by sight. That echoes what he says in Romans 8:24-25 about hope we can't yet see. Reminds me of Hebrews 11:1 too.

References recognised automatically, no tagging required
A convenient extra

Every reference, ready to open

As you write, Ingathery recognises Scripture references and turns them into live links. You never have to tag anything by hand (but you can add references manually if you want to).

Tap a reference and a passage panel opens right there: the text itself, your own notes on those verses, ranked cross-references, overlapping topics, and dictionary entries. All without losing your place.

Connections

Nothing you write sits in isolation

This is the part a generic notes app can't do. Every note connects to the Bible, and to your other notes, automatically.

Ingathery's Scripture page, showing every book of the Bible with a note count on the ones you've written about

Browse by book

See a map of where you've written notes across the whole Bible. Every book, every chapter, with a note count wherever you've written something - so you can see at a glance where your study has gone deep, and where it hasn't yet. Tap through and jump straight to any passage.

A topic page in Ingathery, showing classic passages from the built-in concordance alongside the user's own notes

A built-in concordance

Open a topic, e.g. Perseverance, and see the classic passages associated with it, plus every note you've written that touches it. Zero filing required.

A dictionary entry in Ingathery, looked up from within a passage

A dictionary, right where you need it

Look up a name or place without leaving what you're reading. It's the extra layer of context that makes a note worth revisiting.

Threads

String related notes together into a named, ordered trail, with your own commentary connecting each one. Watch a line of thought build over weeks or years.

Resurfacing

A daily panel gently brings back notes worth revisiting. Something from a while ago, or from this time last year. So what you've learned keeps working on you.

Share what you've gathered

Send any note to someone else with a one-off share code. They get their own copy, no account required to view it, but they can save it to their own Ingathery. Broadcasting to a whole small group or church is on our roadmap.
