What we are building
Things Not Quite Yet
Ideas we have sketched and not yet built. Some are close, some are far off, and some may never happen.
pctrs.app
Series on the iPhone
A named set of photographs, linked together. It exists on the website and not yet in the app.
Calendars and books
Thirteen photographs at prices set by the photographers, printed and posted. Coffee-table collections in which a photographer is paid when their work is included. Both need a printer.
A gear exchange
The locker records what you shoot with and what you have retired. A place to pass a retired lens to someone who will use it.
pctrs on Windows and Linux
pctrs already works in any browser. An installable version would give it its own window and icon on a Windows or Linux computer, the way it sits on an iPhone.

Lending a book
Pick a book you own, pick a friend, pick a length of time, and send one link. Your library shows the book as out on loan and when it is due back, and their copy knows it arrived as a loan and says so. The file is sealed on the way across, so the server carrying it cannot read the book.
CarPlay
The book you are in the middle of, on the car screen: play, pause, skip back, jump to a chapter. Long drives are where a book being read aloud earns its keep, and the phone should stay in your pocket.
Another voice, and more languages
Apple's voices and the neural voices cover English well. A third engine and further language packs would widen what can be read aloud, weighed against keeping the reading entirely on your own device.
SchriftOhr on Windows and Linux
Your library and the book you are in the middle of, installed from the browser onto a Windows or Linux computer, so listening is not tied to Apple hardware.
MarkSchrift
Android, on Google Play
MarkSchrift for Android is in beta testing now. Next is the public release, so the same notes open on an Android phone or tablet.
Longer views of a week
The weekly file is the unit of work. A month or a year would be a way of looking across those weeks, rather than another pile of files to keep.
The Bible tools at rfrmd.com
More translations
Six are available today, five of them fully offline. Others could join as licensing allows.
A native app
The reader, the daily plan, and the Psalm prayer guide as an app on the App Store, with notes and reading progress following you between devices.
Reading together
A family or a small group following the same plan and seeing one another's progress, without turning a devotional habit into a scoreboard.
Supporting a piece of this
Put something toward one of these.
We make the apps because we use them ourselves, and we hope you find them useful too. The Bible tools at rfrmd.com are free and carry no advertising, though the servers behind them come with a monthly bill.
Give any amount through Stripe, or write and say which of these you would like it to go toward. A gift supports the work; it is not a purchase, carries no features with it, and is not tax-deductible.
