Sermon prep is two tasks forced into one — structuring your argument, and rehearsing your delivery. Most tools do one or the other: outliners that never leave the screen, or teleprompters with no sense of structure.

Verbatum does both.

From prep to pulpit

One keystroke from mind map to delivery.

See the timer running, scrub the timeline, read at your own pace. The map becomes the manuscript.

Time

Know how long before you walk up. See how long is left while you preach.

Full screen

Nothing but the words.

Writing mode strips away every control. The room goes quiet. What's left is what you're working on.

Your work, your files

Your sermons, forever.

Plain text files you can open in any editor. No accounts. No lock-in. Sync through iCloud if you want to; carry a USB stick if you don't. Your work outlives any app.

Start preparing this Sunday.
