The pitch
What Votional Does
Studies consistently show that churchgoers forget 70–90% of a sermon within one week. The Sunday-to-Monday drop-off is so predictable it has a name among pastoral researchers. People leave church genuinely engaged — moved by something, resolved to apply something — and lose most of the substance before Tuesday.
This is not a failure of faith or attention. It's a failure of the follow-through infrastructure.
Votional is that infrastructure. With permission, open the app before the service begins and start live transcription. Votional creates a real-time draft and suggests likely scripture references for review. After the service, you can correct the transcript, verify references in context, and keep the reviewed note searchable.
Then the Daily Bread begins. Every morning of the week, Votional generates a short, personal devotional drawn from your own sermon notes — not generic content, but your pastor's message resurfaced for your daily walk. By the following Sunday, you've engaged with the sermon seven more times.

Founder
About the Founder
"The gap between what gets said from the pulpit on Sunday and what actually sticks by Tuesday is enormous. I built Votional because the sermon deserves to outlast the weekend."
— Jared Schultz, Founder
Jared Schultz is the creator of Votional, an iOS and Android sermon note-taking app. Frustrated by the Sunday-to-Monday gap, he built a tool that can transcribe sermons in real time, suggest likely scripture references for review, and generate personalized Daily Bread reflections from the user's own notes.
Votional launched in April 2026. Jared is based in Oklahoma. Learn more at votional.com.
Testimonials
What Users Are Saying
"I've tried Apple Notes, Evernote, and just giving up. Votional is the first app that actually fits how Sunday mornings work."
— Early user
"The Daily Bread devotional is the thing. By Thursday I've forgotten the sermon. But the devotional brings a piece of it back every morning. That changes the whole week."
— Early user
"I'm a seminary student. I use it for every class, not just sermons. Reviewing the suggested scripture references alone saves me 20 minutes per session."
