Sheaf
Original Catholic songs, and quizzes that get hard.
Sheaf has three artists of its own, from gospel soul to West Coast soft rock, with the words on screen to sing along. The quizzes start at the Hail Mary and end at councils and Church Fathers. There is also a page to read every morning, and thirty lessons to do together with your children.
For iPhone and iPad on the App Store, and for Android phones and tablets on Google Play.
What is in it
Four things, and none of them is homework.
Start with a song or a quiz. The morning page is the one to come back to each day, and the path is for sitting down with your children.

Songs
Original songs in gospel soul and West Coast soft rock, each artist with a page of their own. The words are on screen to sing along, and with Sheaf Pro the songs download to the phone, so a road with no signal is still a road with music.
-
Quizzes
Easy, Medium and Hard. Easy is the Hail Mary; Hard asks which council, which Father, which book. Three hearts a round, and a practice mode for the times nobody wants to be scored.
-
A page every morning
A verse, a short reflection and a prayer that keep the Church's calendar. The next two weeks are kept on the phone, so it is there before the signal is.
-
A path to walk
Thirty lessons through the four parts of the catechism. The saints, the sacraments, the prayers and the stories. Each one ends in a three-question check. It is written for ages seven to ten, to sit down and do side by side.
How it is made
Somebody read it first.
The songs, the daily devotionals and the lessons in Sheaf are made with AI. Every one of them is read by a person before it is published.
No rule makes us say that. We say it because you are reading this before you install anything, and you should know what you are getting. In the app, the songs carry the same mark on the screen you play them from.
Sheaf holds no ecclesiastical approval and claims none. A person reads every item for quality, and reviewed is the honest word for that.
Scripture comes from public-domain translations, and nobody retypes it. A verse is looked up in a fixed text, so it says what that text says.

Nobody is tracked
No third-party analytics or advertising identifier. Technical error reports go to our own server without your writing or a user identifier.
What you write stays here
The answers to the morning's reflection live in the app on that phone. They are in no backup of ours and on no server of ours, and they can be deleted by hand.
