Your Bible,
your notes.
Instead of writing in the margins of a paper Bible, highlight any verse and write what it means to you right beside it. Your notes stay private — and because they're anchored to the verse itself, they follow you across every translation.

Built for reading, not for scrolling.
No feeds, no streak-shaming, no noise. Just scripture and what you make of it.
Write what it means to you
Highlight a verse by what it is — a promise, a command, a teaching — and write beside it. Notes attach to the verse, not the translation, so switching from the KJV to the WEB brings your thinking with you.
- Unlimited notes on any verse or passage
- Five kinds of highlight, so colour means something
- Tag and gather them into collections
Two translations, side by side
Compare a verse against another rendering without losing your place. Four public-domain translations are bundled into the app — WEB, KJV, ASV and YLT — so there is nothing to download and nothing to wait for.
- Clean, warm typography built for long reading
- Works on a plane, in a basement, anywhere
- Text checked verse by verse against reference editions
Have it read to you
Any chapter, read aloud, with the verse you're hearing lit up as it goes. Choose the voice and the pace. It keeps playing with the screen locked and carries on into the next chapter — and because the speech happens on your device, it works with no signal at all.
- Lock-screen controls
- Follows along verse by verse
- Nothing you read is ever sent anywhere
Start from what you're carrying
Most search wants a word. If you're grieving at midnight you don't have one. Open search and it asks how you are — grieving, afraid, weary, looking for hope — and takes you to verses for it. Hand-picked ones first, then everywhere else in the Bible the same thing appears.
- Thirty subjects, from grief to thankfulness
- Half-remembered lines, found by the fragment you recall
- A verse each day, and every third one you highlighted yourself
Go as deep as you want to
Tap any verse for the Hebrew or Greek behind each word, and the passages that speak to it. Deep Dive goes through Genesis verse by verse, with talks you can listen to while you read along.
- Every verse word-by-word, with Strong's numbers and a lexicon
- 341,000 cross-references between passages
- Study notes and talks, saved for offline listening
Only what you've actually read
Nothing counts itself. A chapter is read when you say it is — one tap, always reversible. The number stays honest, which is the only way it stays worth anything.
- Progress by testament and by book
- A streak that counts days, not chapters
- Picks up at the first chapter you haven't reached
What you write stays with you.
