About Bible Time: Reduce Screen Time
Scripture before screen time. BibleTime is a Christian app designed to help you put God’s Word before digital distraction. Before opening the apps that usually pull your attention away, BibleTime creates a sacred pause write a Bible chapter, spend time in Scripture, or write a personal prayer first. Instead of reaching straight for social media, you begin with something meaningful. Over time, every chapter you complete becomes part of your own personal Bible, and every prayer you write becomes part of your personal prayer book. Less mindless scrolling. More Scripture. More prayer. More time with God. Why BibleTime • Write before you scroll – Pause distracting apps until you complete your Bible chapter or spiritual routine. • Build your personal Bible – Move through Scripture chapter by chapter and gradually build a Bible that reflects your journey through God’s Word. • Create your personal prayer book – Write honest prayers, reflections, gratitude, struggles, and conversations with God in one meaningful place. • Turn distraction into devotion – Replace the instinct to open social media with a moment of Scripture, prayer, and reflection. • Build a lasting Bible habit – BibleTime remembers your progress and gently helps you continue where you left off. • Follow your own journey – Read through the Bible using chronological, traditional, thematic, New Testament-first, and other reading plans. • Choose your preferred Bible translation – Read Scripture in translations including KJV, NIV, ESV, NKJV, and NLT. • Make Scripture personal – Highlight meaningful verses, add notes, reflect on what you read, and make each chapter part of your own Bible journey. • Works offline – Continue reading and writing even when you do not have an internet connection.

Version 14.0.0 · Updated September 30, 2026
What's New in BibleTime 14.0 This is a big update. Your Bible now feels even more like a book that belongs to you. YOUR BIBLE BOOKSHELF The Progress tab is now "My Bible", a wooden bookshelf that fills up as you read. Every book you start gets its own painted cover on the shelf. Tap one to open it and see all the chapters you've written in it, along with your notes, highlights and drawings. MAKE EACH BOOK YOUR OWN - Pick a cover and a paper for your Bible and your Prayer Book - New paper styles for day reading, plus three new night papers: Charcoal, Lamplight and Black - 21 reading fonts to choose from, up from 5 - Give each book its own look, or turn on "Same look for both books" MY PRAYER TIME Choose a time each day to pray and BibleTime will gently remind you. You can also add a "My Prayer Time" block so distracting apps stay closed while you pray. Change your reminders anytime in Settings. BACKGROUND MUSIC Read and pray with calm music playing in the background. Pick your track, set the volume, or pause it with one tap. NEW READING PLAN: THE BOOK OF ACTS Follow the early church from Jerusalem to Rome in a new day-by-day plan. SEE HOW FAR YOU'VE COME When you finish reading, a short celebration counts up every verse and prayer you've written so far. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE - A fresh new look for the Library, Settings and App Block rules - Finishing a reading is quicker: no more extra mood step - Night mode no longer flashes a bright page when a book opens - Bug fixes and performance improvements Thank you for reading with us.
