Faithful in the small things.

Life with God is a gift, not a grade. werkLife keeps the day’s verse, a few small practices and Sunday’s sermon in one quiet place, and helps you notice Him in the ordinary hours in between.

For iPhone. Small steps, no scores, no account.

The Today screen. Lamentations 3:22–23 sits on a parchment card at the top. Below it, the day runs as a timeline: Read today’s passage under “After I pour my coffee”, Pray for today’s three and Call Mom under “On the drive in”, then a Now marker. The four taps, Thank You, I saw You, Help me and Be near, are docked at the bottom.

“Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much.”

Luke 16:10

Today

The day, with the Word at the top.

Today is where you do things. It holds one verse, a few small practices, and room to notice where God met you.

  • The day’s verse first. Today opens on one verse, set on parchment, the only paper thing on the page. Take a moment with it, or carry on with your day.
  • Practices on a timeline. Each one sits under the moment you tied it to, in your own words (“After I pour my coffee”), on a rail colored by morning, afternoon and evening. A Now marker shows where the day has got to. What’s later is dimmed, not hidden.
  • Done, a small step, or rest. Tap a practice’s circle when it’s done, or swipe for its small step or to rest it. A small step counts as showing up. The week shows as dots, never bars or percentages, and there’s no streak to keep.
  • Look back, in the evening. As the day closes, the verse card becomes Look back: the practices you kept, the moments you tapped, one question, and Amen.
The evening Look back. Under “Be still a moment. He was in all of it.” come the day’s verse, the practices kept and the moments tapped, some with a short note such as “Coffee with Sam”. Then the question “Where did today feel heavy, or Him far?”, a box to write in, and an Amen button.
In the evening, the verse card becomes Look back.

Seeing God in the little moments

Four quick taps.

They’re docked at the bottom of Today all day, where a thumb can reach them. Each one is a short prayer. A tap is enough, and a word or two can follow. There are no counts, ever.

  • Thank You
  • I saw You
  • Help me
  • Be near
Thank You
For something good, as it happens.
I saw You
For a moment you noticed Him at work.
Help me
For what you can’t carry alone.
Be near
For the hard hours. A lament, with no words needed.

Sermons

Sunday, carried into the week.

Sermon notes that keep up while you listen, and go somewhere afterward.

  • Points and verses as you type. A point becomes a heading. Type a verse like Eph 2:10 and it’s tagged right in the line, ready to open.
  • Calls to action, onto Today. Tie one to a moment in your day (“On the drive home”) and it waits on Today’s timeline until it’s done.
  • Series, counted for you. A new note fills in from your last one on the same day of the week and carries a running series on. Its week is counted, never typed.
  • A one-minute wrap-up. Carry it: the main idea, calls to action, a verse for the week, who to pray for, and topics. All of it is optional. The verse you choose leads Today for the next three days.
  • Find it again. Browse by sermon, by topic, or by verse (everywhere a verse has met you), or search across all of it.
  • Yours to keep. Done saves the note as a plain-text file, wherever you choose.
The Sermons tab. A This week card carries Ruth 2:12 from Thursday’s note, with its main idea and a call to action. Below are the Sermons, Topics and Verses filters, a search field, and notes grouped by where they were heard, each with its series week.

Carry it, the wrap-up after a sermon note: what was the main idea, calls to action, a verse for the week, who to pray for, and topics, each filled in or left blank, then a Finish button.
Carry it: the wrap-up

Read

A shelf, not an obligation.

Everything you read, and what you took from it.

  • Continue, never behind. A plan opens to its next day: the first one you haven’t read. A missed week is never “behind”.
  • Open the Bible. Read any passage on your own. Tap a verse, or two for a range, to quote it into your note.
  • Devotionals, with their guides. A devotional’s day brings its own guides, before or after the passage, and questions that open a box only when you tap them.
  • A reading log. One line per read, marked by kind (the day’s verse, a plan, on your own, a book), with a pencil where you wrote something.
  • One read, wherever you mark it. Finish a plan’s day from Read or from a practice on Today, and it’s done in both places.
The Read tab. Continue shows day 13 of 45 of John in short passages, with today’s passage on parchment and a link to read it. Below are another plan in progress and the reading log, one line per read by day.
Continue a plan, or open the Bible anywhere.

The church year

Openings, drawn in pencil.

Each day starts with a short welcome: the date, a greeting and the day’s verse, with a moment to sit with it. On the days that matter, the welcome draws itself.

  • Advent. The wreath is sketched on parchment and the first candle lit. Each Sunday, a candlelighter carries the flame on to the next.
  • Christmas Day. The story draws itself in graphite, from the road to Bethlehem to the stable, and the Christ candle is lit.
  • New Year’s Day. An Ebenezer: one more stone is lowered onto a cairn, and the moment asks where the Lord helped you this year.
  • Lent. An olive spray grows one leaf a day, by the calendar, not by how Lent is going.
  • Good Friday to Easter. A sealed tomb on a quiet hillside. On Easter morning the seal breaks and the branch blooms.
  • And more. All Hallows’ Eve, Thanksgiving, St. Valentine’s Day, and the first day of each season.

With Reduce Motion or VoiceOver on, every opening appears finished.

The welcome on the first day of Advent: “Good morning.” above an evergreen wreath with four candles, drawn in pencil, the first one lit. Below it, “Advent begins today. This week we light the candle of hope and wait for His coming.”
