PressOn, a graphite square with an e-ink screen showing today’s reading, Numbers 11 to 13, on a steel split ring

How it works

Today’s reading, at a glance

Today’s reading: Numbers 11–13.

E-ink keeps it on the screen all day, so a glance at your keys is enough.

Streak 5

Hold, then let go

The line fills in three steps over a second and a half.

Hold the bar on its side for a second and a half, until the line fills, then let go.

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

The time you read

Read today at 7:42 AM.

It stays on the screen until the next morning’s reading.

Tomorrow · Numbers 14–17

Watch the Bible fill in

13% of the Bible’s verses read.

A short press shows every chapter as a square; it returns to today by itself.

4,109 of 31,102 verses · 130 of 1,189 chapters

Made to keep one habit

1,189 chapters, one square each

Each lights as its verses are read, Genesis to Revelation.

The squares are there to bring you back tomorrow. The reading is the point.

PressOn, measured and inside

PressOn at an angle, 48 mm square and 9.2 mm thin

48 millimeters square.

As wide as two quarters side by side, with a steel eyelet for a split ring.

9.2 millimeters thin.

Inside, every part in its place, front to back. That’s the design; the prototype will confirm it.

At least two years on one coin cell.

At least two years with a reading marked every day; we estimate three to six. Nothing to charge, and a coin opens the back.

Sealed to IP67.

Rain, a spill, a drop in the sink: the production design keeps water and dust out. The first units will be tested to it.

Your phone, when you want it

An iPhone floating face up; PressOn touches its back, the phone shows a notification to open PressOn, the app opens on Today, and today’s reading, Numbers 11 to 13 with Start Reading, lifts out of the screen
On iPhone, tap the notification to open it. On Android, the touch opens it.

Touch your phone to PressOn, and today’s reading opens in the app.

  • Read it there

    Start the day’s reading in one tap, in the app’s Bible or the Bible app you already use.

  • Choose a plan

    M’Cheyne’s is built in. The app adds the Bible in a year, the New Testament in 90 days, Psalms and Proverbs in a month, or a plan you build.

  • Every day, written down

    What you read, when you marked it, and your notes.

  • A reminder

    At the time you choose.

The app never marks a reading. Only the press does.

iPhone and Android · English and 한국어

A year of reading, kept.

When the last chapter is read, every view turns white with black text and stays that way, without using power, until you begin again.

Hear when it’s ready.

Questions

What if I miss a day?

Nothing piles up. PressOn shows your next unread reading, whatever the date. In the app you can keep to the calendar instead, or spread what’s left over the days remaining.

Can I see past days?

Yes. A second short press shows your recent days, and the app shows the date of every reading.

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 one-year plan, a classic from 1842 with four short 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 CR2032 coin cell you replace with a coin; there’s nothing to charge. It’s designed to last at least two years with a reading marked every day (our estimate is three to six). The prototype will confirm it.

Which phones will the app work with?

iPhone and Android.

Why the name PressOn?

It’s named for Philippians 3:14: “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

When can I get one?

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