Install BibleGPT+

The landing screen has three big buttons — Bible Reader, Bible Study, and BibleGPT+ (chat) — plus the Verse of the Day and your reading-streak widget. Use it as your jumping-off point each day.

Every tool lives in the sidebar, grouped by purpose (Reading, Study Tools, Reference, My Stuff, Create, Settings). On phones, tap the ☰ hamburger menu to open it. Use the "Find a tool…" box at the top to filter the list by name. Group headers collapse with the ▾ chevron.

Tap Sign in in the sidebar and choose Google or Apple. Once signed in, your bookmarks, highlights, notes, prayers, topics, sermons, lessons, quiz scores, memory progress, reading plans, and appearance settings are saved to your account and follow you to any device. Apple's private-relay email is supported.

Open the appearance panel from the sidebar (🌙 / ☀️). Switch between Dark and Light mode, pick one of 8 accent colors (or enter a custom hex), and set the font size to Small, Medium, or Large. Changes apply instantly; "Reset to defaults" restores the originals. Settings sync to your account when signed in.

Tap ⛶ Full Screen in the sidebar for distraction-free reading. It hides browser chrome on desktop, tablet, and phone where the browser allows it.

Open Bible Reader, choose a book and chapter, and the text appears with verse numbers. Use the Version dropdown to switch between ESV, KJV, ASV, BSB, and YLT — your choice is remembered and syncs across devices (chapter audio always plays the ESV recording). Move between chapters with the arrow buttons (or the ← → arrow keys). Tap a verse to open its menu — highlight it, bookmark it, add a note, share it as an image, or open the ✨ "Why is this verse in the Bible?" context panel. Below each chapter, the Explore chips open a 🧘 Guided session or jump to the Study Guide, Quiz, Cross References, Church Fathers, Verse Comparison, or Greek & Hebrew — already pointed at the chapter you're reading. Every chapter you open is cached for offline reading — or tap Download on the "Read offline" bar to save the whole ESV at once.

In the Bible Reader, tap 📖 Book Overview for a big-picture introduction to the book you're in — author, date, audience, genre, purpose, structure/outline, key themes, key verses, and how the book points to Christ. Great for orienting yourself before a deep read or a study.

Tap a verse and pick a color — yellow, green, blue, or pink — to highlight it; tap clear to remove. Highlights show inline in the text and sync across your devices.

Tap the ✎ icon on any verse to write a private note; it stays attached to that verse. Each chapter also has a chapter note card at the top for broader thoughts. Notes save automatically and sync everywhere.

Press Listen to hear a chapter read aloud. A floating toolbar gives you play/pause, skip ±10 seconds, a seek bar, playback speed (0.8×–2×, pitch preserved), volume, and a 🌙 sleep timer (tap to cycle 15/30/45/60 minutes — playback stops when it fires). Turn on continuous play to roll automatically into the next chapter, and build an "Up next" queue. Tap 🎧 Listening Playlists for curated sequences — the Gospels, Psalms of Comfort, Passion Week, the Sermon on the Mount, Acts, and Proverbs. Every chapter you play is saved for offline replay, and your spot is saved — a Resume button picks up where you left off.

Open Verse Comparison, choose a book, chapter, and verse, and tap Compare to see the same verse in ESV, KJV, ASV, BSB, and YLT side by side — real published translation texts, with a short AI-written note explaining the key wording differences.

Open Search and type a word, phrase, or reference. Results show the reference and verse text with your term highlighted. Narrow results with the Testament and Book filters, and use Show more results to page through. Switch to ✨ Meaning (AI) mode to search by idea instead of exact words — ask "verses about being anxious at night" and get real verses with a note on why each one speaks to your question. Tap the ⭐ on any result to save the verse into a Topic.

Open Bible Study and pick a chapter to generate a full study guide in expandable sections: Historical Context, the full chapter text, Key Verses, Themes, Discussion Questions, Application, Cross References, Theological Commentary, Church Fathers Commentary, and Places in this chapter. Add a chapter note, jump to any verse by tapping its reference, and export to Word or PDF (⬇ Word / 🖨 PDF) or share it. Below the guide, Explore chips take the same chapter into a 🧘 Guided session, the Reader, a Quiz, Verse Comparison, or Greek & Hebrew.

Tap 👶 Explain it to me like I am 10 in the reader or study view for a kid-friendly version: a big idea, the story in plain language, words to know, a verse to remember, a short prayer, and an FYI for parents. You can read it aloud, copy it, or share it.

Open BibleGPT+, pick a voice to answer (Apostles like John, Paul, Peter; Old Testament figures like Moses, David, Joshua; the historian Josephus; or the Church Fathers), choose a response length, and ask your question. Answers stream in and can be played as audio, copied, or shared — and any Scripture reference in an answer is tappable, jumping straight to that chapter in the Reader. The History tab keeps your recent questions; Clear History wipes it.

Open Cross References and choose a chapter to see related passages across Scripture, color-coded by type — quotation, thematic, fulfillment, or parallel — each with context and a tappable verse link.

In Bible Study, pick a book and chapter and tap ⚖️ Compare Interpretations to see how the major Christian traditions — Reformed, Wesleyan-Arminian, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Baptist / Free Church — read the passage. Each view is stated fairly at its strongest, with the key Scriptures it rests on and where the traditions agree. You can also tap ⚖️ on any verse in the Reader to compare interpretations of that single verse.

Open Gospel Harmony to see the life of Christ laid out across Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John side by side. Each event shows its parallel passage in all four Gospels (or a dash where an account omits it) — tap any reference to open it in the Reader.

Open Greek & Hebrew for a Strong's concordance lookup and a word-by-word interlinear view showing the original word, transliteration, English meaning, and parsing details, plus related words. In any Strong's entry, tap "View every occurrence" to list every verse in Scripture that uses that Greek or Hebrew word — tap a reference to jump straight to it in the Reader. Original-language word data is from STEPBible.org (Tyndale House, Cambridge), used under CC BY 4.0.

Open Characters and choose a biblical figure for a life overview, key passages, their character arc, and related people you can tap to explore — along with an AI-generated portrait. A Connections row links to the 📜 covenants they're part of and the 🗺️ places from their story, and verse references now open the Reader at the exact verse.

Open Subjects, type a theme like "grace" or "fear," and tap Study Subject. The app researches relevant passages across Scripture and synthesizes them into one study you can share.

Open Quiz, pick a chapter, and tap Start Quiz for auto-generated questions — a mix of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank (type the missing word). Your best score per chapter and attempt history are saved so you can track progress and retake. On the results screen, tap 🧠 Memorize Key Verses to drop the chapter's key verses straight into your Scripture Memory deck.

Open Prayer, choose a chapter, optionally add an intent or topic, and tap Craft Prayer for a Scripture-grounded prayer. Save prayers to revisit, copy, or share them later.

At the top of the Prayer screen, keep a personal list of what you're praying for. Tap + Add to record a request with an optional note and category (e.g. Family, Work, Health), mark it Answered ✓ when God moves (or Reopen it), and delete requests you no longer need. Filter the list with the All / Active / Answered pills — the answered view doubles as a gratitude journal. Tap the 🔔 in the header to set a daily prayer reminder at a time you choose. Your list syncs across devices, and requests you add offline sync when you reconnect.

Open Devotional for a short daily reflection on a featured verse, with a browsable 30-day archive. Devotionals are cached for offline reading.

Open Biblical Timeline to walk from Creation to Revelation. Filter by era, expand any event for details, and tap key figures or Scripture references to jump straight to them.

Open Covenants to study every biblical covenant — the parties, terms, time period, supporting Scripture, and how each is fulfilled in Jesus. A Connections row links the 👤 people party to the covenant and the 🗺️ places in its story, so you can hop straight to a character study or the map.

Open Maps for a zoomable atlas with place markers color-coded by era, plus step-by-step journeys — Abraham's travels, the Exodus route, and Paul's missionary journeys — each linked to Scripture. A place's detail panel lists the 👤 people connected to it (tap for their character study), and Timeline events show a 🗺️ chip that jumps to the event's location on the map.

Open Nephilim Study for a focused deep dive into the biblical references to the Nephilim, with the Hebrew text, scholarly analysis, and cross-connections.

Open Church Fathers, pick any book and chapter, and tap Read Commentary to see how the early church read it — quotes and interpretation from 3–6 fathers per chapter, with era and tradition noted. Below, the Meet the Fathers directory introduces ten major fathers from Ignatius to Gregory the Great; tap 💬 Ask on any of them to put your question to the Church Fathers voice in BibleGPT+ Chat.

Open Sermons, add one or more passages, optional notes, and set the length, style, and audience. Generate a full sermon — opening hook, introduction, main points, application, and closing prayer. Edit inline, regenerate, save to your library, and share by link (recipients can save their own copy). The ⚡ Quick Tools card at the top generates just the pieces — illustrations, discussion questions, or application points — for any passage or theme, with one-tap copy.

Open Teach to build a lesson from several passages, organize it into a lesson plan, and share it by link or QR code (it auto-loads for whoever opens it). One tap turns a lesson into a Deep Dive — a combined study guide across all the readings with themes, key verses, and synthesis commentary — which you can export to Word or PDF. The ⚡ Quick Tools card at the top generates illustrations, discussion questions, or application points for any passage.

Tap the ☆ star on any verse, chapter, study, character, name, covenant, or subject to bookmark it. Open Bookmarks to see them all, sorted by newest, oldest, or alphabetically.

Open Study Journal for one timeline of everything you've marked — highlights, notes, and bookmarks — newest first. Filter by type, tap any entry to open it in the reader, and export the whole journal to Word or PDF.

At the top of the Study Journal, tap + New to write a structured entry using a proven study method: SOAP (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) or inductive OIA (Observe, Interpret, Apply), or freeform. Add the passage and a title, use 💡 Prompt me for guiding questions, and edit or delete entries anytime. They sync across your devices, save offline too, and are included when you export the journal to Word or PDF.

Open Topics to build your own verse collections. Create a topic, then add verses from Search results or from the reader/study views with the ⭐ button. Study all the verses together and share a topic by link.

Open Scripture Memory, add the verses you want to learn, then press ▶ Play Review to memorize them as a game. Each round deals a shuffled set of due cards: tap a flip card to reveal the verse and rate how well you knew it (Again / Good / Easy), or — once a verse is familiar — solve the word-scramble by tapping the words back into order. You earn XP and combo bonuses, build a daily streak, and each verse climbs from New → Learning → Familiar → Strong → Mastered (shown as stars). Spaced repetition schedules every card for you, so you review each verse right before you'd forget it. When you're signed in, your verses, XP, streak, and mastery levels sync across your devices.

At the top of Scripture Memory, pick a book and chapter and tap Build deck to auto-create a flashcard deck of that chapter's original-language words (most frequent first). Tap Review due to study: see the Greek or Hebrew word, reveal its meaning, and grade yourself Again or Good — spaced repetition schedules each word for you. When you're signed in, decks and progress sync across your devices.

Open Reading Plans to follow a structured schedule — from the Gospels in 30 days to the whole Bible in a year. Tap Read Now and just keep pressing Next in the Reader: it follows the plan's own sequence (even across books) and counts each finished day automatically — no need to come back to the plan between days. A banner shows which plan and day you're on; tap its ✕ (or pick a different chapter) to read freely again. You can still mark days by tapping their checkboxes, and use Continue reading on the home screen to jump back in. The "For what you're facing" section offers short 7-day plans for specific seasons — anxiety, grief, hope, forgiveness, peace & rest, doubt, gratitude, and new believers — one chapter a day. Watch for seasonal Challenges (like John in 21 Days) — finish inside the window to earn an exclusive badge.

On any plan, tap Start a group and share the invite link — friends who open it join with one tap. The group panel shows everyone's progress bar and a ✅ for who's read today (first names only — emails are never shown). Great for small groups, families, and church challenges. Leave a group anytime.

Tap 🧘 Guided below any chapter in the Reader for a full-screen, swipeable session: a gentle intro, the chapter in small portions with a reflection to sit with after each, and a closing prayer. Finishing a session counts toward your reading streak.

The home-screen streak widget tracks your current and best run of consecutive reading days (🔥). Tap the 🔔 to turn on a daily reminder at a time you choose — and where your browser supports it, you'll also get the Verse of the Day as a push notification each morning, even with the app closed. The 🔗 button shares your streak as an image card, and the 🏅 button shows your badges — achievements earned by reading streaks, quiz scores, memorized verses, finished plans, challenges, and answered prayers. New badges pop a toast the moment you earn them, on any of your devices.

Study Guides, the Study Journal, and Deep Dive studies can be downloaded with the ⬇ Word and 🖨 PDF buttons — formatted for printing and sharing, with verse references intact.

Most results have a 🔗 Share button that opens your device's share sheet (message, email, social, etc.), and a Copy button for the text. If your device can't share natively, a copy-link dialog appears instead.

Sermons, lessons, and topics generate links that auto-load the content for whoever opens them — no navigating required. Lessons also produce a QR code you can print or project for a class to scan.

Open the Bible Reader and tap Download on the "Read offline" bar to save the entire ESV to your device (about 6 MB) — then every chapter is readable with no connection, even ones you've never opened. The installed app itself also opens offline. Anything else you view while online — study guides, the Verse of the Day, devotionals — is cached for later too, and an offline badge appears when you lose network. AI tools (chat, study guides, sermons) need a connection and will tell you so instead of stalling.

Notes, highlights, and bookmarks you make while offline are queued and saved automatically the moment you're back online — in the order you made them.

While a chapter plays, your phone's lock screen and notification shade show play/pause controls, the chapter reference, and artwork — so you can control playback without unlocking.

On supported phones you'll feel subtle haptic taps on actions like saving, and the layout respects notches and rounded corners for a native look. Unsupported devices simply skip the vibration.

Add BibleGPT+ to your home screen or desktop for faster launch, full-screen reading, and offline access — see the platform-by-platform instructions at the top of this page.
