Verses - Bahá'í Memorization

Verses turns prayers you love into prayers you know by heart.

Tap a word to hide it. What's left is a prompt — read the passage aloud and your memory fills the gap. Hide a few more each time you return, until the page is empty and the prayer is yours.

THE LIBRARY IS ALREADY THERE • 225 prayers — obligatory, general, occasional, and special tablets • The Hidden Words of Bahá'u'lláh, all 153 • 249 Ruhi quotations — every one the courses ask you to memorize, Books 1 through 8 • Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, 'Abdu'l-Bahá, and the Báb Search for a half-remembered phrase, or browse by section. Nothing to download.

MEMORIZE AT YOUR OWN PACE • Tap any word to hide it — tap again to bring it back • Long-press the passage to hide or reveal all of it at once • Long prayers divide into short passages you can move between freely • Nothing is locked, timed, or gated — start anywhere, stop anywhere

RECITE ALOUD • Speak the passage and Verses follows you word by word • Speech recognition happens on your device

BRING YOUR OWN • Paste any text you want to learn — a quotation, a poem, a passage in any language • Break it into passages wherever the meaning breaks

QUIET BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-in • Your passages, your progress, and your recordings stay on your iPhone — nothing is sent unless you send a report • No ads, no leaderboards, and reminders only if you ask for them • A simple record of how many words you've hidden each day — encouragement, not obligation

Verses is built around one belief: memorization isn't a test to pass, it's a way of carrying words with you. Hide what you know. Read what you don't. Come back tomorrow.
