A keychain for a daily Bible reading plan

Today's reading,
on your keys.

PressOn is a small e-ink square for your keyring. It shows the day's reading. Hold the bar on its side to mark it read, and watch the whole Bible fill in, chapter by chapter.

Today

Today's reading, at a glance

The day's reading stays on the screen, so a glance at your keys is enough.

No phone to unlock and nothing to charge. E-ink keeps it there all day.

The bar

Hold, then let go

Hold the bar on its side until the line fills, then let go, and the day is marked read.

A bump in your pocket marks nothing, and a press right after a mark undoes it.

The screen keeps the time you read until the next morning brings the next reading.

Below it, tomorrow's reading and the last seven days.

Progress

Watch the Bible fill in

Every one of the Bible's chapters has a square, lit as its verses are read.

A short press shows it, then your recent days. The device returns to today by itself.

Chapters130 / 1,189
Verses4,109 / 31,102

Reading plans live in phone apps and on paper, where they're easy to put off. PressOn keeps the day's reading in view, and makes marking it read a small, physical act.

Your Bible, your translation

The plan

The Bible in a year

Genesis to Revelation in 365 days, about three chapters a day, loaded from the app.

By a touch

Your phone, when you want it

Touch your phone to it to choose a plan, change settings, or see the date of every reading.

The end of the plan

Finish, and it turns white.

When the last chapter is read, every view turns white with black text: a small medal on your keys.

Questions

Does it show the Bible's text?

No. It shows references, such as Numbers 11–13, so you read in the Bible and translation you already use.

Do I need the app?

Not to keep reading. M'Cheyne's plan, four readings a day, is built in, so PressOn works from the first press. The app loads other plans, such as the Bible in a year shown on this page, changes settings, and shows the date of every reading.

How is it powered?

A coin cell you replace with a coin; there's nothing to charge. We're measuring how long one lasts on the prototype.

Which phones will the app work with?

iPhone and Android.

When can I get one?

PressOn is in development. Leave your email and we'll write when there's news.
