What we’ve shipped

Follow a cross-reference, tap a verse in a note, or open a passage from bookmarks or search and a "← Back to..." chip appears under the top bar. Tap it to return to your exact spot. Multiple jumps stack — tap again to keep stepping back. Verse links inside your notes work the same way.

On iPad, a Record button is now in the Reader top bar. One tap starts recording; a live timer panel docks beside the passage and a Minimize option lets you keep reading with a small pill in the bar. On iPhone, "Record a sermon" in the ⋯ menu now starts a take in one tap. The recording indicator pulses with your voice level.

Ask a question or open a chat from your Journal, Library, or a note and the conversation appears beside what you're reading — no sheet over the text. Tap "Add to note" on any finished answer to send the quote to your open note.

Selecting a verse while a study tool is open narrows it to that verse — tap "Back to whole chapter" to restore the full view. The reading plan bar opens the plan in the panel instead of a sheet. Tap the margin dot beside a verse to see which of your notes mention it.

Tap any note in the Notes tool to edit it right there in the panel. Tap a verse reference inside the note and the Reader jumps there.

If your connection drops mid-sermon, your edits are safe. Notes save to the phone the moment you type and sync when you're back online. The header shows "Saved on this phone" until the server confirms. New notes open immediately even offline, and the app warns you before signing out if any notes haven't synced yet.

No more spinners or empty screens when you have no connection. Every screen shows what's saved on your phone with a short message about what you can't do offline. Screens load themselves when the network returns.

no longer interrupts the sermon. The mic shows "Recording in progress" instead.

no longer reappears if you had unsent edits for it. The edits are recovered safely on the phone.

now shows up on all your devices.

, the "purchase being confirmed" notification now shows from any screen, not just from the chat.

now shows its result below the button, not crowded into the Terms and Privacy row.

now open the linked note in the app.

in reading plans now parse and jump to the right passage.

no longer show an error banner after a successful retry.

that could let a signed-in user erase another account's search and memory data has been fixed.

Notes, Words, Refs, Context, and Ask each have a button in a rail on the side of the screen. Tap one and it opens a panel next to what you're reading — no sheet slides up over the text. The reading column stays centred and clear.

Selah splits a long note into sections before it reads it for themes, people, and beliefs. A split could land in the middle of an emoji. The database refused to save that section, so the note failed on every retry and never added anything to your graph. Splits now always fall between characters, and the failed notes are picked up again on the next retry.

Writing the same reference twice, or using short and long forms like "Rom 8:28" and "Romans 8:28", added the same pill to the Journal entry twice. Each reference now appears once.

In 211 WEB verses (mostly Psalms), the title line and the word "Selah" showed literal <b> and <i> marks in the Reader, search results, verse previews, scripture blocks in notes, shared verses and the daily message. The title now reads as a quiet italic line and "Selah" in italics. Your highlights on those verses stay exactly where they were.

Selah is now an MCP connector: add https://selah.so/api/mcp in an assistant that supports MCP connectors (Claude, for example), sign in with your Selah account, and the assistant can read scripture, save notes, prayers and captures, search your notes, add to a note, check and mark today's reading, and start or generate a reading plan — all against your own account. Connecting creates a Selah account if you don't have one (free tier). Anything saved this way shows up in Selah marked as coming from the assistant, and you can remove the connection from the assistant's settings at any time. Nothing the assistant does can rewrite or delete existing note text, change your settings, or reach a translation Selah doesn't hold the rights to. Guide: /docs/connectors.

The app's source wasn't accepted by the Stream's validator; it is now, and app-made entries are labelled "App" instead of falling through to "Web".

It scrolls instead of running off the bottom, opens above the caret when the keyboard is up (it was measuring the wrong viewport inside the app's note editor and opening under the keyboard), rows are a real 44px tap target on touch screens, and a tap no longer dismisses the menu before it registers. Arrowing keeps the selected row in view. Same fix on the web editor and in the app's note editor, which share the bundle.

The heartbeat and retention crons' candidate queries and the admin directory read the Stripe ∪ Adapty union (plusEntitlementSql, effectivePlanUnion) instead of plan = 'plus', so an App Store–only subscriber now receives Plus-only nudges and shows as Plus in admin. This was a documented known gap from the Adapty mirror (0140).

In-app purchases are handled by Apple/Google with Adapty managing the subscription; the policy now says so and discloses the purchase-history and usage data shared for refund decisions. Apple requires the disclosure before any tester runs an IAP-enabled build.

That shape parsed as empty and the nudge was silently skipped.
