The thinking workspace
Pastors Small groups Personal study

Study Scripture the way you already think.

Parakleo is a visual workspace for Scripture. Drag a verse onto the canvas and it keeps its reference and translation — connect it, question it, and build from it instead of losing it in another notes app.

Ask PK
John 3:16 · NIV

For God so loved…

Romans 5:8

While we were still…

"So loved" — the scale of the gift.

Ask PK

Both ground love in a costly act, not a feeling.

You shouldn't need six apps to prepare one lesson.

Why Parakleo

Bible software gives you depth. Whiteboards give you space. Parakleo gives you both.

Many people keep Logos as the bookshelf and Parakleo as the workspace. Notes apps hold paragraphs — Parakleo holds connections.

One canvas, the whole study

A verse arrives with its reference. A note captures the thought. Ask PK finds the thread between them — without switching apps.

John 3:16 · NIV

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son…

Romans 5:8

Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this…

"So loved" — the scale of the gift matches the scale of the love.

Ask PK

Both passages ground God's love in a costly act, not a feeling.

Read · Capture · Connect · Think — in one workspace
01

Every verse remembers where it came from

Drop a highlight on the canvas and it arrives with reference, translation, and context — not a loose paragraph you'll have to look up again on Sunday.

02

Ask PK guides — it doesn't preach for you

Study Mode shapes how PK responds: questions and hints when you want to discover, direct answers when you're ready. Your voice stays yours.

Open a template and start in seconds

Bible Study, Sermon Builder, Mind Map — each one lands as editable objects on the canvas, not a static PDF you'll fight with later.

What each step means in Parakleo
  1. 1
    Choose — start with structure From Home, pick a template (Bible Study, Sermon Builder, Mind Map, and more) or a blank canvas. Templates land as editable objects with preset sections — not a static PDF. Free includes three core templates; PRO unlocks the full library.
  2. 2
    Read — stay in the passage Open the Bible reader in the Source panel: translation, book, and chapter locators built for touch. The Read layout keeps scripture beside your canvas so you never lose the text while you work.
  3. 3
    Capture — save what matters Highlight a verse and drop it on the canvas — reference and translation travel with it. Notes, text blocks, and library entries become durable objects you can find and link again later.
  4. 4
    Connect — see the thread Drag objects on the canvas and draw connection threads between passages, notes, and ideas. Group and frame sections — especially useful for sermon flow or study maps.
  5. 5
    Think — arrange until it clicks Reorganize spatially: frames, groups, notebook pages, and ⌘K quick actions. Thinking happens by moving and relating objects — not only typing in a sidebar.
  6. 6
    Understand — guided, not generic Ask PK reads your workspace context. Study Mode shapes the response: questions and hints in Guided mode, fuller synthesis when you choose Direct. PK guides — it does not preach for you.
  7. 7
    Create — teach from the board Use Create to generate a sermon outline, study guide, or similar output from your selection or canvas. Free includes limited monthly outputs; PRO adds export to Word and PowerPoint and higher limits.

Questions

Is Parakleo still in beta?

Yes. We're in public beta — the core workflow works, but we're actively improving. If something feels off or you have a suggestion, email [email protected].

Will Ask PK write my sermon?

No — and that's intentional. Guided mode asks questions and offers hints first. PK works from your workspace, not the open web. Your voice stays yours.

How is this different from Logos or a notes app?

Logos is a research library. Notes apps hold paragraphs. Parakleo is where you connect what you read — passages, notes, and AI responses on a canvas you can see and rearrange.

What's free vs PRO?

Free covers solo study — reader, three core templates, library, Create, and base Ask PK limits. PRO adds sharing, full templates, export, and deeper AI. Founder pricing (public beta): $3.99/mo for your first 18 months, then $6.99/mo as long as you stay subscribed. Organization plans are separate — PRO on your personal account first, then ORG billing in Settings.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes — Parakleo runs in your browser and is built touch-first. Native iOS and Android apps are coming soon.

When will Organization plans be available?

Organization workspaces are available in public beta — $49/mo includes 30 member seats (+$15 per 10 extra seats). You need PRO on your personal account to create an organization, then ORG checkout in Settings. Leaders (and admins/owners) can share a board with the entire org — up to your seat count. Ordinary org members can invite up to 20 people per board. Everyone else sees boards only when invited or when a leader enables org-wide access. For team onboarding, contact [email protected].
