Every screen, honestly.

These are screenshots of the running application, captured from a demo church. Nothing here is a mockup or a roadmap promise โ€” if it's pictured, it works today.

๐Ÿ“– Lessons & the authoring workflow

We give your church the lesson books it needs, from nursery to eighteen — every one read by a person before it reaches a child. Each carries the story, the big idea, a memory verse, something to do and a quiz with its answers, and we add to your church’s library as you need more. From there your teachers write their own: draft → submit for review → an admin publishes. Edit a published lesson and it goes back for re-approval automatically.

  • Age groups from nursery through to eighteen
  • Story, big idea, memory verse, activity, prayer and answerable quiz questions
  • Drag lessons into teaching order — per class group
  • A “Taught” column showing when each lesson was last delivered

โ–ถ๏ธ Teach mode

A full-screen presenter view built for a volunteer standing in front of twelve six-year-olds. Steps through story, memory verse, each quiz question, activity and prayer โ€” with type big enough to read from the back.

  • Aโˆ’ / A+ to size the text for the room
  • Swipe, arrow keys or the dots to move between steps
  • Tap to reveal quiz answers
  • Screen wake lock, so it won't sleep mid-story
  • Finish with "Mark completed" and record who learned the verse

๐Ÿ“– The Bible, in the room

The whole King James Bible is built into teach mode. Open it on any lesson and it turns straight to that lesson's passage โ€” no searching, no second device, no borrowing a phone from a parent.

  • Opens on the lesson's own reference, with the verses highlighted
  • Every book and chapter a tap away when a child asks — or swipe to turn the chapter
  • The same Aโˆ’ / A+ sizing as the rest of teach mode
  • Works with no wifi โ€” the text ships inside the app, so a church hall with no signal is fine

๐Ÿ‘ฆ Class groups

Your age bands, however you run them. Groups drive who sees which lessons, whose attendance a teacher can take, and how the reports are sliced.

  • Teachers assigned per group
  • Teachers only ever see their own classes

๐ŸŒณ Growth seasons

Set your ministry year's start and end, and Grained scales the seven stages so Harvest lands exactly at the end of your season โ€” whether that's 40 weeks or 52. Past seasons become a child's forest.

  • Live preview of weeks and the Harvest target as you pick dates
  • Progress bars on the parent and teacher views adapt automatically

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง What the parents see

Sunday ends and the lesson usually ends with it. Parents get their own sign-in showing what their child learned, the memory verse to practise during the week, and the tree they are growing โ€” so the conversation carries on at the kitchen table.

  • Each child's lessons: completed, missed, and what is coming next
  • The memory verse in full, ready to practise at home
  • Badges earned, and their place on the Growing in Christ path
  • Church announcements, without another app to install

๐Ÿ“ˆ Reports

Child progress, class progress, attendance and lesson completion. Every report is scoped to who's asking โ€” a teacher sees their classes, an admin sees the church.

  • Per-child badge drill-down
  • Out-of-scope children simply aren't reachable

๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Public pages โ€” events & giving

Publish an event and your church gets a public page parents can register on without an account. Same for fundraising appeals, with a live progress bar against your target.

  • Ticket types with fixed prices โ€” editing an event later never changes what someone already paid
  • Parents register without an account, and no church administration is ever exposed
  • Online card payments are coming soon; today each registration and gift is recorded for you

๐Ÿ“ฑ It's a phone app too

Grained installs to a home screen as a PWA. Every list becomes stacked cards on a small screen instead of a table you have to scroll sideways โ€” because attendance gets taken standing up, not at a desk.

  • Installable, with offline-ready assets
  • Hamburger navigation and touch-sized targets
