Frequently Asked Questions
What is Psalmlog?
Psalmlog is a journaling app that puts what you're facing next to what the Bible says about it. Share what's going on, by voice or text (anxiety, a decision, a relationship, a conflict at work), and get relevant Scripture with a reflection and a next step in about a minute. It works offline too, and journaling templates help when you don't know where to start.
How does it work?
Choose a topic (like anxiety or a decision you're weighing), or pick a journaling template with a starter question and Bible verse. Then share your situation by voice or text, whichever you prefer. Psalmlog contextualizes what you wrote in light of what Scripture says about that topic and gives back the key biblical principles, a practical next step, and some encouragement. The whole thing takes about a minute.
What situations can Psalmlog help with?
Any life challenge where you're looking for biblical wisdom: difficult decisions, family conflicts, workplace stress, financial worries, grief, health struggles, parenting challenges, relationship questions, anxiety, forgiveness. If you're wondering what God's Word says about your situation, Psalmlog can help you find relevant Scripture.
Is this meant to replace my pastor or church?
No. Psalmlog sits alongside your church. It's for the moments between Sundays when you need guidance: late at night, early morning, or whenever life doesn't wait for office hours. Many users find it helps them come to pastoral conversations better prepared.
How is my privacy protected?
Your voice recordings are never stored. In the mobile apps, audio is sent over an encrypted connection, transcribed, and immediately discarded. Only the written transcript is kept, as your journal entry. Your journal entries are stored securely in your private account, never sold, and never shared with advertisers. We use AI services to generate guidance, but under terms that prohibit them from training on your data. What you write stays private.
Is the guidance actually from the Bible?
Yes. Every response is grounded in Scripture. The AI's job is to contextualize what you wrote in light of what the Bible says about that topic; the wisdom itself is God's Word. You'll always see the specific verses being referenced.
I'm skeptical about AI for spiritual guidance. Should I be?
Healthy skepticism is wise. Pairing AI with your prayer life can feel strange at first. Psalmlog isn't your theologian, and it doesn't replace your pastor, your church, or the Holy Spirit. It's a tool that helps you bring your real life to God's Word, find what Scripture says about your situation, and respond. Think of it like a concordance that reads your whole entry instead of one word; the wisdom is drawn from the Bible, and the technology just gets you there faster. As one member put it, Psalmlog “marries technology with historical truth and wisdom so beautifully.”
What makes Psalmlog different from just Googling Bible verses?
A few things. It works from what you actually wrote, not from keywords. You can speak or type, whichever suits the moment. Journaling templates help you start, offline mode lets you journal anywhere, and each response comes with practical application attached to the Scripture. And if you're in crisis, it points you to real help.
How much does it cost?
Psalmlog offers a free tier with 3 journal entries so you can experience it firsthand. Paid plans start at $9.99/month for Seeker (or $8.33/month billed annually) with 30 sessions a month. Faith Builder is $19.99/month (or $14.99/month billed annually) with unlimited sessions, 30-day context, voice journaling, and Psalmcast. Shepherd at $34.99/month (or $24.99/month billed annually) is also unlimited and adds 3-6 months of context, unlimited voice, and the weekly spiritual pulse. Every plan, including Free, gets the full six-part biblical feedback. All paid plans include a 7-day free trial.
Do I need to be online to use it?
No. There's an offline mode, so you can journal on your commute, in the car, or anywhere without signal. Your insights get processed once you're back online.
Why do you charge for this? Shouldn't the Bible be free?
Good question. Reading the Bible should be free, and it is. What costs money is the AI, the voice transcription, offline access, and the people who build and support the app. We think it's worth it for the time it saves you, and we put profits back into making the app better for believers and non-believers alike.
I'm part of the LDS Church or a Jehova's Witness. Does this app speak to me?
Certainly, Psalmlog is still helpful for you. We want everyone to find truth in God's Word. That said, we do not recognize Book of Mormon or Doctrine and Covenants as Scripture. We also do not draw from New World Translation. We focus on the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God.
Which devices is Psalmlog available on?
Psalmlog is available on the web at app.psalmlog.com, no download needed. There are also iOS and Android apps for existing users.
Can I share insights with my small group or family?
Yes. You can share selected insights as images, which works well for small group discussion or for encouraging a friend. You choose what to share; everything else stays private.
