Nothing between you and the text
Careful typography, generous spacing, and a page with nothing competing for your attention. Every detail is tuned so the focus stays where it belongs: on the inspired text.
The original languages, a couple taps away
Tap any word to open complete lexicon entries from Abbott-Smith (Greek) and BDB (Hebrew), built right into the text. No extra purchases, no switching apps.
Find the verse you're thinking of
Search is quick and powerful, with a unique visual interface for organizing results with precision. Narrow by book or section at a glance, and see every match in context.
Mark it up. Keep it everywhere.
Highlight in multiple colors, keep notes within verses, and bookmark where you left off. Everything backs up and syncs online for free, and the whole app works offline.
