The honest FAQ.
What Shprd is, who it's for, and where we are on the road. If something's missing, ask us when you join.
What is Shprd?
A family operating system — Scripture, schedules, responsibilities, and family life in one calm place. It's built to form a household, not just schedule it.
Who is it for?
Any household that wants to grow together — blended families, single parents, empty-nesters, and families just getting started. It's not a “kids app,” and it doesn't assume one shape of family.
What does “early access” mean?
Shprd is invite-only right now. We onboard a few households at a time so we can stay close and get it right. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out personally as seats open.
Is it free? What will it cost?
Early-access pilots aren't charged while we build. Pricing is still being finalized — it will be fair, and we're not optimizing to squeeze families. Active-duty, veterans, and Gold Star families get special pricing — see military families.
Is my family’s data private?
Privacy is the bedrock. We never sell your family's data, and we ask before accessing your content. Read our privacy policy.
Which Bible translations are included?
Public-domain translations are available today, with more on the way — we're adding versions deliberately, with proper licensing and per-version attribution. We'd rather do it right than list what we can't yet support.
Can our church use it?
Yes — we partner with a small number of churches at a time. See for churches & partners.
Do I need to install an app?
Shprd runs in your browser and works on phones, tablets, and computers — no install required to start. Native mobile apps are in the works.
When will I get in?
We onboard in small cohorts and reach out personally. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when it's your household's turn.
Still curious?
The best answer is using it.
Join the waitlist and we'll bring you in as we open seats.
