TheoPad is a specialized, local-first note-taking app designed for Jehovah’s Witnesses – ideal for your personal Bible study, congregation meetings, and the ministry.
The focus is on what matters most: writing without the constant need to switch between apps. When you type a Bible reference (NWT), TheoPad displays the text directly within your notes.
What TheoPad Offers:
📖 Automatic Bible Integration (NWT)
Simply type Bible references into your text (e.g., "Mt 24:14" or "Psalm 23:1-4"). The app automatically recognizes and links them, showing the verse from the New World Translation in a preview window. This keeps you in your writing flow.
📝 Focus on Your Text
A clean, distraction-free editor for your study projects. Use formatting like bold, italics, or lists to structure your thoughts for public talks or meeting comments—without any unnecessary clutter.
📂 Simple Organization
Organize your notes into folders or with tags – perfectly sorted for conventions, mid-week meetings, or shepherding topics. Pin your most important notes for quick access.
🔒 Your Data Belongs to You (Privacy First)
TheoPad stores your notes in a local database on your device. There is no data transfer to developer servers.
• No registration needed.
• No Tracking: We do not collect usage data.
• Backup Notice: If you have enabled Android System Backup (Google Backup), encrypted copies of your data are automatically stored in your Google Drive by the operating system.
🎨 Customizable Design
Use Dark Mode for comfortable reading during evening sessions or adjust the accent color to suit your personal style.
💾 Data Control & Backups
You have full control over your data. Create local backups of your notes and restore them whenever needed (e.g., when switching devices).
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Setup After Installation
Due to copyright regulations, TheoPad does not include pre-installed Bible texts. For the automatic verse recognition to work, you must perform a one-time import of the Bible file (RTF) from jw.org. The process is explained within the app and can be completed in just a few steps. Once set up, the app works completely offline.
