About this app

This is a lightweight, ad-free tool for reading and studying the Bible – in several translations and languages, right in your browser and even offline.

What it can do

  • Read the Bible in several translations and languages
  • Parallel view: compare two translations side by side
  • Search by word or reference (e.g. "John 3:16")
  • Verse of the day and cross-references
  • Bookmarks, colour highlights and notes per verse
  • "Bible in a year" reading plan with progress
  • Font size, light/dark mode, distraction-free focus mode
  • Print or save as PDF, read aloud (text-to-speech), share
  • Read offline: store a whole translation in your browser; installable as an app (PWA)
  • Account for syncing your personal data across devices

How it works

At the top you choose book, chapter and translation; "Compare with" shows a second translation next to it.

  • Tap a verse number to open actions: copy link, bookmark, cross-references, note and colour highlight.
  • Icons at the top: ★ bookmarks, 📖 reading plan, ⬇ offline, 👤 account. Switch language at the top right.
  • Personal data (bookmarks, highlights, notes, plan) is stored in your browser. With an account it is merged across your devices.
