For everyone who wants to talk about Jesus and goes blank the moment it counts: a thread to follow through the conversation, and a place for whatever comes out of it.
Phil walks with you through evangelism — from getting ready, through the conversation, to staying with the person afterward. Five things the app does: get you tuned in before you head out, explain the gospel with the 3 Circles, keep testimonies and healings with the evidence, handle follow-ups with a reminder and a calendar entry, and hold prophetic words as audio with a transcript.
At the center is the 3 Circles (from Life on Mission, North American Mission Board). Three circles — God's Design, Brokenness, the Gospel — that believers around the world use to explain the gospel in a few minutes, classically drawn on a napkin. Phil walks you through that conversation slide by slide, with a diagram the person across from you can follow the whole time.
Then there's the treasure hunt. Before you head out, you pray and write down whatever comes: a place, a name, what someone looks like, what someone needs prayer for, something unusual. You carry that map with you. When one of your clues shows up, you hand the person your screen — no notes, no contacts, no tabs down the side. From there it's two taps to the 3 Circles. Afterward you write down what happened, and it becomes a testimony. Every map stays saved, including the ones where nothing hit.
Under Message you'll find the verses that matter most for handing on the best news.
In Testimonies you keep track of who you talked with, who gave their life to Jesus, and where someone got healed. Attach photos, PDFs or videos — a doctor's confirmation of a healing, for instance. For each person you can set a follow-up. Phil reminds you by notification — you decide when and how often — and puts the appointment in your calendar with your reminder times. Contact details go into your iPhone contacts with one tap; calls and mail start right from the entry.
The prayer list holds the people you're staying with. When a prayer gets answered, you mark it answered — it doesn't disappear, it becomes visible testimony.
Under God Speaks two things sit together, switchable at the top: prophetic words others have spoken over you, and what you've heard and read yourself. You record prophecies as audio; Phil creates a transcript automatically that you can read back and edit later. Existing recordings, from Voice Memos for example, come in as a file, and written-only words have their place too. Search finds any prophecy, including by its wording. The whole area is protected with Face ID, and so is backing up and restoring your data.
Phil has no account and no server of its own. What you enter stays on your device. If you're signed in to iCloud, it also goes into your private iCloud area so it's there on your other devices too. Nobody gets to it but you. No ads, no analytics, nothing passed on.
Phil is a tool from Encounterhouse, a church plant in Dortmund, Germany. The name goes back to Philip the Evangelist from Acts 8. The app speaks English and German — you set it inside the app.

Also
• Settings are their own section now. The privacy lock and everything else you can set live there, instead of sitting between the imprint and the copyright notices.
• On the treasure hunt, the button for a new map now floats above the list instead of standing lost in the middle of it.
• Follow-ups can be set for today as well. The date field no longer shows a date it hasn't saved, and Phil tells you when a moment or a lead time has already passed instead of staying quiet about it.
• Number fields select themselves when you tap them, so a new value replaces the old one instead of squeezing in front of it.
• Dates now follow the language you set in Phil, not the one your iPhone is in.
• A few labels had been saved into the database instead of drawn on screen, so they stayed in one language forever. That's cleaned up — existing entries are fixed on first launch.
