Carry the Word. Every Day.
✦ scroll to begin ✦
A curated library of one hundred verses — Old and New Testament — surfaced by providence, not algorithm. Audio narrated in the King James voice of James Earl Jones.
Christmas. Easter. Pentecost. Ash Wednesday. And eleven more. The device knows the liturgical calendar and speaks the appointed word on the appointed day.
All four mystery sets — Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous. Eighty steps. Full prayer texts. Bead tracking. Pray the complete Rosary from a single device.
A five-minute prayer screen. Three crosses. Radiant light. Nothing to do but be still. It ends when you are ready, or after five minutes of silence.
✦ The Artefact ✦
JesusGotchi runs on an ESP32 microcontroller driving a 135×240 TFT display — the same resolution used in retro handhelds. This browser emulator is pixel-perfect to the physical hardware.
Press the buttons. Try every theme. Pray the Rosary. Enter the Reliquary. Sit with the Selah timer. Personalised devices greet their owner by name on first boot.
✦ The Word ✦
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.”
— Psalm 119:105
One hundred verses drawn from across the canon — surfaced one at a time, in silence, with full audio narration for every New Testament passage.
Scripture Gold · Dead Sea Blue · Holy Fire · Desert Psalm · Garden Tomb · Sacred Ash. Each changes the shell, screen, and every shade within.
Arduino C++ firmware for the ESP32. All schematics, code, and pixel art released freely. Build your own — the instructions are in the repository.
✦ Colour ✦
Hover to reveal. Cycle with a single tap on the device at any time. Your choice persists across power cycles.

✦ The Vessel ✦
JesusGotchi runs on an ESP32 microcontroller — the same chip powering thousands of maker projects. The firmware is open-source Arduino C++. Flash it to your own board, wire your own display, and hold the word in your hand.
All schematics, code, and pixel art live in the GitHub repository. The browser emulator you see above runs exactly the same logic — no translation layer, no compromise.
Build it. Flash it. Hold it. Or simply sit with the browser demo above and let the scripture find you.
