Manna App
A complete product overview for org leaders and technical reviewers evaluating Manna for their community.
Our mission is to help people find, build and grow in community as we walk in discipleship together with Jesus Christ. Humbled and trusting in Him and His living word as we grow in faith. And what better way to discover His grace than together, and that is why we have built Manna to build on community.
Sean Abbood, Founder
What's Inside
Every feature in Manna is built around building healthy community, all features are built around dignity, privacy and love for one another.
A curated content feed where leaders can post spiritual resources, guides, programme materials, videos, articles, and announcements for their community.
A daily devotional served to the entire community. Each entry includes a scripture reading, reflection, and a closing prayer written by the zanmanna editorial team.
A completely private journaling space. Voice-to-text enabled. Each entry belongs only to the person who wrote it. No admin can access any user's journal, ever.
A shared prayer board where community members lift each other up. Anonymous by default. Hearts indicate solidarity. Answered prayers are celebrated and marked.
The complete Word of God. All 66 books, 1,189 chapters, and 31,103 verses in the World English Bible translation. Always available, fully offline-capable.
One tap connects a community member to immediate pastoral support. A crisis request is logged and an email is sent instantly to the designated admin for their organisation.
How It Works
Manna runs on a multi-tenant architecture. Every organisation gets the same powerful platform, but all data is strictly isolated. Your community only ever sees their own content.
zanmanna manages the platform globally. You manage your community locally. Both streams appear to users as one seamless, unified experience.
Daily devotionals and curated resources managed by the zanmanna editorial team. Updated once, instantly available to all organisations.
Your announcements, resources, and pastoral comments. Visible only to your organisation's members. Fully controlled by your Org Admin.
New members join with a 6-character code you share privately. No public registration. No open access. You control who enters your community.
iOS and Android. Built on Glide. No app store installation required. Accessible via a shared link, just like a website.
User Roles
Every person in your community has a role that determines what they can see and do. Roles are assigned by admins and can be changed at any time.

Pricing
zanmanna is a non-profit. We designed the Manna app to be free for every church, rehabilitation centre, and community that needs it. No tiers. No hidden fees. No organisation turned away.
For every organisation
Free.
always and for everyone
Support the mission
Manna is free because we believe access to community and faith tools should never depend on finances. But building and maintaining this platform takes real time, care, and cost.
If Manna has served your community, or you simply believe in what we are building, your support helps us reach more churches, rehabilitation centres, and communities across the globe. Give as your heart desires.

Whether you lead a recovery centre, a church, or an organisation walking alongside people, Manna is built for you.
