About Scriptly: Bible Notes
Scriptly is a Bible for reading, hearing, and thinking in. Read it in your own language, hear it read aloud, and keep what you think beside the verse that prompted it. READ • Several translations, in English, Chinese, Korean and Spanish. • Text that flows to your screen, at whatever size reads easily. • Or a real page — ruled, squared, dotted or blank — with a margin wide enough to think in. LISTEN • Any chapter read aloud, in any of the four languages. • Choose who reads it: most languages have several recordings, plain or dramatized. • It keeps playing while you read on, or with the screen locked. GO DEEPER • Tap a word to see the Greek or Hebrew behind it, with its lexicon entry. • See everywhere else that word appears, and open any of those verses in place. • Study notes on the history, the customs, the turn of phrase the first readers would have caught. A DEVOTION EVERY MORNING • My Utmost for His Highest and Daily Light on the Daily Path, in your own language. • And a page to answer them on, if you want one. KEEP WHAT YOU THINK • Highlight a verse, or type a note against it. • Or write in the margin by hand — pen, highlighter and eraser, in your own colours. • Scribble out to erase: draw back and forth over a stroke, and only what you cross goes. YOURS, AND PRIVATE • No account, no sign-in, no ads. • Your notes live on your device, and we have no server that could hold them. • Anonymous counts of chapters opened — never the text, never your handwriting, never who you are — feed the “Around the world” screen, and can be turned off in Settings. Everything you mark, type or write follows you between your devices through your own private iCloud, automatically, in a container we can neither see nor reach. On iPhone and iPad. An Apple Pencil is a pleasure, not a requirement.
What’s new
Version 1.4.0 · Updated September 26, 2026
Five reading plans, short enough to finish. A fortnight in Mark, a week of passages for when it is all too much, a proverb a day, the whole story in three weeks, and ten psalms for the nights you cannot sleep. None of them start in Genesis, and each counts the days you have read rather than the days in a row — miss one and nothing is lost. Ask for a reminder when you start a plan, at a time you pick, in your own language. It stops when you finish. Share a verse as a picture: your paper, your highlight, the reference and the translation on it. Read two more translations under each verse, alongside your own — any languages you like, so 和合本 can sit under the ESV. Follow a verse to where else Scripture says the same thing. 344,000 cross references, and each one opens where it is without losing your place. Hear a chapter sung, in any of eighteen styles. Four typefaces to read in, bundled with the app so a chapter looks the same on every device — including Atkinson Hyperlegible, drawn so letters cannot be mistaken for each other. Settings is pages now rather than one long scroll, and the page you write on can be set up before you turn to it. One tap highlights a verse, one tap clears it, and it remembers the colour you used last. On iPad, Scriptly now asks whether you write with an Apple Pencil, and opens in the reader that suits your answer.
