Exegeter
Sermon prep and tracking

From first idea to pulpit, all in one place

Study, outline, write, schedule and remember every sermon you preach. Exegeter keeps your notes, your calendar and your preaching history together, on your phone or your desk, even when the signal drops.

The way a sermon actually grows

Every sermon moves through the same stages you already work through. Exegeter just keeps track so nothing slips.

  1. Idea

    Catch the text or thought the moment it comes, before you lose it.

  2. Study

    Gather observations, cross references and open questions in one place.

  3. Outline and manuscript

    Shape the points, then write out what you will say.

  4. Preached

    Mark it delivered, note what to change, and it joins your history.

Notes built from the pieces of a sermon

Not one long document. Each piece is its own block, so you can move things around and see the whole shape at a glance.

  • Scripture, big idea, observations, illustrations, applications, quotes, prayers and more
  • Drag to reorder, or use the arrows on a phone
  • Lock any block as private so it never leaves your notes
  • A sketchboard to map the message before you outline it

Know what is coming, and what is open

Put sermons on the services you preach, at home or away. Exegeter shows you the Sundays and Wednesdays that still need a sermon.

  • Calendar, week view and series planner
  • Open slots for every service you preach, and a way to mark a week as not meeting
  • A flag when something is not ready within a few days
  • Preach it again, or start a new version for another audience

Everything you need, nothing you do not


Scripture built in

Type a reference and drop the passage into your notes. The King James text is included and works offline.

Repeat check

See when you last preached a passage or a similar idea, before you are halfway through writing it again.

Version history

Go back to an earlier draft of any sermon. Restoring one saves your current notes first, so nothing is lost.

Preaching history

Totals by month, Bible books you have covered, and the themes you keep returning to or have never touched.

Pulpit mode

Large, clean type with a timer against your target length. It keeps the screen awake and works with no connection.

Optional AI helpers

Suggested topic tags and a smarter repeat check. You choose whether to turn it on, and you approve every suggestion.

Made for the phone in your pocket

Install it on your home screen like any other app. Read your notes, make changes and add ideas anywhere. Edits sync when you are back online.

  • Works offline, including editing a sermon
  • Live updates between your phone and your computer
  • See which devices are signed in, and sign out of all of them with one tap

Your notes are yours

Sermon notes are personal, and some of what a pastor writes down is private. Exegeter is built with that in mind.

Private blocksMark any note as private. It stays out of exports and is never sent to an AI model.
One account, one set of notesNothing is shared with anyone else unless you choose to export it.
Take it with youBring in your Obsidian notes, and export back to Markdown whenever you like.
