What this place is, and how to find your way around it.
What CanticleScript is
CanticleScript is Scripture, sung. Passages of the Bible become songs — you can read the text, listen to what others have made from it, make a song of your own, and keep the ones that stay with you.
Finding your way around
The bar along the bottom holds five doors:
- Read — the Bible and the Stories drawn from it.
- Create — make a song from a passage.
- Listen — your songs and playlists, the whole Bible in song, and what the community has shared.
- Explore — the community: songs, collections, journeys, voices, people, and the Chapels.
- Me — your personal hub: saved songs, people you follow, your history and rhythm.

Search from the search disc at the top of a section. It searches where you are standing: Scripture and the Stories under Read, your own library under Listen, the whole catalogue on the Canon.
Songs you download are kept on this device and play without a connection — they live under Downloads, where you can see what each one costs in space and remove any of them.
Making a song
Open Create. There are a few ways in — begin from a passage, from a thought of your own, or from scratch — and each leads to the same short path:
- Choose the scripture — a passage, or a Story that carries one.
- Name the feeling you bring to it.
- Choose the sound it should wear.
- Review, then let the song be woven. It arrives in Listen when it is ready.
If you step away mid-way, your draft keeps your place and the wizard reopens where you left off.
Reading, and the room around a passage
Readis one shelf of all seventy-three books, grouped by the canon’s movements. Open a book and choose how to read it: Bible for its chapters, or Stories for the narratives drawn from it — each one a short road of passages you can carry straight into Create.
Inside a chapter, select verses to enter that passage’s room — the place where the songs and reflections made from those verses gather. From there you can listen, reflect, or carry the passage into Create.

Listening
Listen holds three views:
- Songs — your library. Your playlists sit at the top of it; everything you have made or kept follows.
- Canon — the whole Bible in song, in order. Pick up where you left off, or open any book.
- Community — songs and collections other people have shared.
Reflections, 🕊 and ♥
A reflection is a few words you write in response to something — kept privately in your journal, or shared for others to read. Every shared reflection is anchored: to a passage, or to a song.
Readers can leave one quiet mark on a reflection — 🕊 when it is anchored in a passage, ♥ when it is anchored in a song. One mark, and the kind follows the anchor.
Your daily rhythm
Today’s reflection offers a verse and a prompt each day. What you keep in your journal stays private, untouched by any AI; sharing is always a separate, deliberate step.
