UpperRoom
Keep the sermon. Live the week. No subscription traps.
The offline-first Bible note taker and sermon recorder that keeps your notes safe, makes them findable years later, and helps you live them out during the week.
Hey Product Hunt — I'm Stan, and I built UpperRoom because I lost
my sermon notes.
Not dramatically. No crash, no scandal. My notes app just... stopped.
A subscription lapsed. An account error. Years of Sunday mornings,
small-group discussions, and half-finished thoughts about Romans 8
— gone.
So I started building the app I wished existed.
Why I built this
Every note app I tried in this category had the same three problems:
the notes were hard to find six months later, the pricing was a
weekly subscription dressed up as a free app, and nothing exported
cleanly enough to trust. I wanted something that recorded the sermon,
timestamped every note I typed, and kept the whole archive
searchable for years. Something that exports everything in one tap,
for free, even if I disappear tomorrow.
What's different about UpperRoom
- Bidirectional audio-text linking. Every note you type while
recording is stamped to the exact moment in the audio. Tap the
timestamp later and the recording plays from that sentence.
- Offline-first, export-always. Notes and audio save locally
first. The app works in a church basement with no signal. Export
to Markdown, PDF, and text is free—always—even if you stop using
the app.
- Fair pricing. The free tier does everything that matters:
capture, search, export, review. The paid tier is $48-$60/year, or $6.99/month
. No weekly billing. No trial-to-subscription
conversion.
What feedback would help most
I'm one person building this, and I want to know where it actually
breaks for real people. The questions I care most about:
1. Does the timestamping actually work for how you take notes?
I built it around my own habit of typing fragments during the
sermon, but I know other people write full sentences, draw
diagrams, or don't type at all. If the core mechanic doesn't fit
how you listen, I want to know.
2. Is the free tier fair enough to trust? I've deliberately kept
export and search free. If you've been burned by a notes app
before, does this feel different, or does it still feel like a
trap waiting to close?
3. What's missing that would make you switch? I know Selah
doesn't do everything. Tell me what the dealbreaker is.
Happy to answer anything about the build, the pricing, or why I
think the weekly-subscription model in this category is broken.
