Mount Pleasant, North Carolina

Apps and media rooted in Scripture, built to last.

Stone and Scroll Studios is an independent studio making Bible apps and ministry media for everyday life. Our first app, Scarlet Thread, turns the morning scroll into time in the Word — Scripture one card at a time, every thread leading to the cross.

A weathered stone and an unrolled parchment scroll on a wooden table, with a scarlet thread woven across the parchment — Stone for what endures. A scroll for what is written. A scarlet thread running through it all.

The Studio

Why “Stone and Scroll”?

The name is the mission in two words. Everything we make stands on both.

Stone — truth that doesn’t move

Apps come and go. Feeds churn by the hour. We build on the one foundation that has outlasted every empire, language, and technology since: the unchanging Word of God.

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” — Matthew 24:35 (NKJV)

Scroll — the Word, written down

Before print, before screens, faith was carried on scrolls — copied by hand, read aloud, treasured. We carry that same text into the place people actually read now: the phone in their hand, first thing in the morning.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105 (NKJV)

Stone and Scroll Studios LLC is a family studio founded by Jared Rooks in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, where he and his wife, Sarah, are raising their family. It began with a simple struggle — reaching for the Bible in the morning and getting pulled into social media instead — and a simple conviction: build the feed that points back to Scripture. Today the studio develops original apps and ministry media, starting with Scarlet Thread and Selah Scroll.

Our Work

What we’re making

Purpose-built software for daily faith — designed to be picked up every morning and to put the phone down sooner, not later.

In private beta

Scarlet Thread

“Every thread leads to the cross.”

An interactive Bible app built like the feed you already reach for — one Scripture card at a time — that traces the scarlet thread of Jesus through the whole Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. It was made to replace doomscrolling, not compete with it.

Daily Scripture feed — a guided reading journey, card by card
Pray — guided prayer cards with studio voices, free for everyone
Walk Me Through It — a daily recap that puts you in the scene, opens up a Greek or Hebrew word, and shows where Christ is in the passage
Ask with AI — word studies and questions answered from the text, with citations, for Plus members

Ask about the beta Plus: $4.99/mo or $29.99/yr · Studio voices and the daily feed are free

In development

Selah Scroll

Selah — pause, and think on that. Selah Scroll is a companion Bible app for slower reading: space to sit with a passage, reflect, and listen, without a feed pulling you onward. Currently in development alongside Scarlet Thread.

In the workshop

Ministry media & future titles

The studio’s charter is broader than two apps. In the workshop now:

Short-form video and teaching media for the apps’ launches
Study resources for couples, families, and small groups reading together
Future original titles, built on the same foundation: Scripture first, craft always

How We Work

Three things we won’t compromise

Scripture at the center

Every feature starts from the text itself. When our apps use AI, it helps with language, context, and meaning — cited to the passage — and it never plays the Holy Spirit. The goal is always the same: focus everything back on Jesus.

Attention given back, not taken

We don’t sell your attention and we don’t engineer addiction. No ads, no engagement traps. A good morning with our apps ends with the phone face-down and the Word still on your mind.

Built like it has to last

Stone, not sand. We ship carefully, test honestly, and charge fairly — founding subscribers keep their pricing, credits are always shown before they’re spent, and a failed answer never costs you anything.

We operate this website and develop the Scarlet Thread and Selah Scroll apps (together, the “Services”). Questions about this policy: hello@stoneandscrollstudio.com.

Information we collect

Account information — name and email address when you create an account or join a beta.
Your content — notes, prayers, highlights, reading progress, and questions you submit to in-app features, stored so the apps work for you across sessions.
Subscription information — handled by the Apple App Store, Google Play, or our payment processor. We receive confirmation of your plan and status; we do not receive or store your full payment card details.
Usage and device information — app version, device type, crash and performance diagnostics, and basic usage events, used to fix problems and improve the Services.
Communications — emails you send us, kept so we can respond and keep a record of support.

AI features

Some features (such as Ask, word studies, and daily recaps) send the passage and your question to a third-party AI provider to generate an answer. We send only what the feature needs. We do not sell this content, and we do not permit it to be used to train third-party models on our behalf. AI answers are labeled in the app, and the model provider behind them is disclosed there.

How we use information

To provide, maintain, and improve the Services;
To manage accounts, subscriptions, and in-app credits;
To respond to support requests and send service-related notices;
To protect the Services, prevent abuse, and comply with law.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not serve third-party advertising in our apps, and we do not share your content with advertisers or data brokers.

Service providers

We use trusted providers to run the Services — including cloud hosting and database services, app store platforms, payment processing, and the AI provider described above. Each receives only the information needed to perform its role.

Data retention and your choices

We keep account information and your content while your account is active. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by emailing hello@stoneandscrollstudio.com; we will respond within 30 days. Deleting your account deletes your notes, prayers, and reading history.

Children’s privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use industry-standard safeguards, including encryption in transit and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify affected users of a breach as required by law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Services grow. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and announced in the apps where appropriate.
