Members may join a church using an invite code provided by their pastor. Church membership data (your name, reading progress, and check-ins) is visible to other members of the same church.

If a founding pastor deletes their account or church, the church and all associated data (readings, daily plans, check-ins) will be permanently deleted for all members.

AI Features Disclaimer

AI-powered features — including verse explanations, chapter summaries, and Study Room conversations — are generated by an AI language model via OpenRouter and are provided for informational and devotional purposes only. These responses should not be treated as authoritative theological doctrine and are not a substitute for pastoral counsel, professional advice, or personal study of Scripture.

Free users receive one free AI-generated study use per day. Altar Pro subscribers receive unlimited generated study access. Availability and quotas are subject to change.

Acceptable Use

Users agree to use the app and its features solely for Bible study, theology, spiritual inquiry, and church engagement. Misuse includes but is not limited to:

Local-First Usage

Altar can be used without creating an account. Data created without an account is stored locally on your device. If you later create an account, your local data will be synced to our servers. You are responsible for backing up any data stored only on your device.

Intellectual Property

Bible texts included in the app are sourced from public domain translations. The app's design, name, branding, and AI-powered features are the intellectual property of the developer.

Limitation of Liability

The app and all content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. The developer shall not be liable for any damages arising from the use of the app or reliance on AI-generated content.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
