    languages for text to speech

    Turn written lessons into spoken audio so people can listen in their own language.

  • Local art

    styles for images and icons

    Generate images and icons in the art styles of a country and its cultures.

  • Guided creation flows
  • Content assistance
  • Image and icon generation

Made to be maintained

Edit, add, organize, update, and publish as a ministry grows. Building the app once is only the beginning.

Publish where your people are

Choose the pathways that fit your context. The public app stores are one option, not a requirement.

  • Web

  • Android

  • iOS

  • Private app distribution

You know your people.Pattern gives you the tools.

The Designer exists so the people closest to a community can build for it—in their language, with their stories, in their way of making disciples.
