Selah סֶלָהA clock that makes you pause.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install an app?

No app store needed. Open the full-screen clock in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen: on iPhone, tap the Share button in Safari and choose "Add to Home Screen"; on Android, tap the three-dot menu in Chrome and choose "Add to Home screen." It then opens full screen.

What's the difference between the webapp and the physical device?

The webapp is free and runs on any screen you already own. The physical device is a small e-ink clock for the nightstand, built for people who want the same verse-per-minute idea without a phone in the room. It's still in development; sign up on the homepage to hear when it's ready.

What happens at a minute like 4:58, where there's no verse?

Chapter 4 doesn't have a 58th verse anywhere in the Bible. Minutes like that show a verse drawn from a small rotating pool chosen for rest, clearly marked as a "Selah moment."

Why King James and Berean Standard Bible, and not NIV or ESV?

Both KJV and BSB are public domain; the NIV and ESV are not. Tap "Open" on any passage and it takes you to bible.com, which opens the chapter in whatever translation you already use.

When does the device ship, and how much will it cost?

The device is still being designed and tested. Cost and ship date are TBD.

Is this AI?

Yes, in part — here's how. More than 14,000 verses in the King James Bible have a chapter and verse that could match a clock time — every "3:16," every "4:13," and so on. A simple script found the matches; AI helped judge which ones read well on their own. Then I chose the final verse for each of the 720 minutes myself, one at a time. The scripture is just scripture.

Can I use 24-hour time, another language, or a different canon?

TBD.
