AI sermon notes app
Most sermon notes end on Sunday. Lumin is built for the week after: import the published sermon or make a personal recording when you have permission, get the heart of it, and carry one sentence with you until next Sunday.
By Wednesday, Sunday can feel far away
Even a sermon that lands deeply has to compete with work, family, notifications, and everything waiting beyond the parking lot. Lumin gives the message a quiet way back into the week.
Lumin's answer is not better note-taking during the sermon. It is what happens after: the sermon becomes a digest you can question, and one sentence from it — the Anchor — travels with you through the week, on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, until you set it down or pick a new one.
How it works
What a digest looks like
Every processed sermon becomes one quiet page: the sermon's title, preacher, and date; a short generated summary; the Scripture passages it stood on; memorable lines verified against the transcript; a few questions worth sitting with; and one line you can choose to carry into the week.
Lumin keeps the source and its own synthesis visibly distinct: verified sermon lines remain the pastor's words, while summaries, questions, and next steps are labeled as generated aids.
What sermon notes apps do — and where Lumin differs
Sermon notes apps are genuinely useful at what they do: record in the room, transcribe, summarize, and file the result by date. Lumin can import a published sermon or make an optional personal recording when you have permission, but capture is only the beginning.
Where they stop is Sunday. The notes go into a list, and the list goes quiet. Lumin is built for the part they leave off:
For pastors
Lumin is a supplement to your preaching, not a substitute for it — and it is built to say so. The sermon chat works from what you actually said, and when a listener's question belongs with you, Lumin points them back to you, not away from you.
It will not counsel in your place or adjudicate doctrine for your congregation. Transcript-matched sermon lines, labeled Lumin Translation verse text, and Lumin's generated synthesis remain visibly distinct.
Common questions
Can Lumin record a sermon in church?
Importing a sermon your church already published is the default. If you have permission to record, Lumin also offers an optional personal recording mode. It requests microphone access and saves the recording to your private library for processing; shared sermon and Anchor links never include the audio.
What does Lumin do with a sermon?
Lumin listens to the whole thing and gives you a digest: a summary, the key Scripture passages, and a plan for the week. Every sermon also gets its own chat, so you can keep asking questions of what was actually said.
Who owns my sermon library?
You do. Your library is tied to you, not to a church account. If you change churches or listen across congregations, it stays with you.
Is Lumin meant to replace the sermon or the pastor?
No. Lumin works from what your pastor actually preached and points you back to them. When a question belongs in your church, Lumin says so.
