01 / Keep your place
Know where to read next
Start with the book and chapter you choose. Read in your own paper Bible or Bible app, then confirm you've finished. Beforeword moves your plan to the next chapter.
02 / Find your rhythm
Make room for Scripture
Set a daily reminder for a time that fits. Choose a 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30-minute focus timer. Pause your plan when life gets busy, then return to your next chapter.
03 / Every chapter counts
See how far you've come
Use your Bible reading tracker to follow progress across all 66 books, with overall, Old Testament, and New Testament percentages and reading streaks. Mark chapters complete or incomplete to keep your record accurate.
04 / A place to reflect
Keep your reflections close
Add optional Scripture notes to your private journal after reading. Your chapter progress and reflections stay on this device only. Browse by date in calendar or list view, and revisit the same chapter across different years.
Your reading progress, reflections, mood choices, and reminder and widget settings stay on this device and are not synced to a server.
05 / Carry a verse with you
A verse for the day you're having
Choose a mood for a curated verse from the public-domain World English Bible (WEB). Add a verse with Lock Screen or Home Screen widgets, or save a wallpaper image.
