✦ What's Inside ✦
Old and New Testament. One verse surfaced each day — not by algorithm, by providence. Full audio narration for every New Testament passage.
All four mystery sets — Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, Luminous. 80 steps. Full prayer text on every screen. Bead position tracked throughout.
Christmas. Easter. Ash Wednesday. Pentecost. And ten more. The device reads the date and speaks the appointed word on the appointed day.
A five-minute prayer screen. Three crosses. Radiant light. Nothing to do but be still. Ends when you are ready, or after five minutes of silence.
Scripture Gold · Dead Sea Blue · Holy Fire · Desert Psalm · Garden Tomb · Sacred Ash. Your choice persists across power cycles.
Four devotional pixel-art scenes — Praying Hands, Sacred Heart, Golgotha, Jerusalem — each unveiled pixel by pixel from darkness into light.
Personalised devices greet their owner by name on first boot. A devotional gift that knows who it belongs to.
Arduino C++ firmware for the ESP32. All schematics, code, and pixel art released under MIT. Build your own — the instructions are in the repository.
75 MP3 clips of New Testament verses narrated in the voice of James Earl Jones. Plays in the browser demo — hardware audio planned.
