Grace Bible — for iPhone & iPad
A quiet place to read the Bible.
A native app for reading, searching, and keeping what matters. Two English translations are built in, more in many languages are a tap away, and nothing sits between you and the text.
John 1
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
3All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.
4In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
The reading experience
Made for reading, not just reference.
Open a book, start a chapter, and keep going. Grace Bible treats a long sitting with scripture as the main event and stays out of its way.
- Browse by book and chapter. The whole canon, two taps from anywhere — Old and New Testament, sorted the way you expect them.
- Turn chapters in place. The forward and back chevrons don't stack up new screens; an entire evening of reading stays one calm page.
- Set your own type size. A single slider scales the verse text to whatever your eyes want tonight.
- Light and dark, on your terms. Follow the system, or lock the app to light or dark on its own — sheets, split view, and all.
- Room to spread out on iPad. A split view puts the book and chapter list beside the passage, so you can move without losing your place.
Study tools
Search it, mark it, gather it.
Everything you find is yours to keep. Notes, collections, and history all live on the device, ready the next time you open the app.
Search in the beginning
· WEB & KJV
- Full-text search. Query every translation you've enabled at once; jump straight from a result to the verse in context.
- Bookmarks with notes. Select a verse or a range, write down why it mattered, and find it again by book and chapter.
- My Bible List. Hand-built collections of passages — a topic, a study, a season — assembled one verse at a time.
- Reading history. Kept automatically as you move, so picking up where you left off takes no effort.
- Select and act. Tap a verse, extend the selection to a range, then have it read aloud, copy it, or share it — one verse per line.
Romans 8:38–39 · WEB
“Nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from God's love…”
Read this at the hospital. Kept the page open all night.

- Psalm 23 WEB
- Isaiah 41:10 WEB
- Matthew 11:28–30 KJV
Translations
Start with two. Add as many as you like.
The King James Version and the World English Bible ship inside the app, ready offline from the first launch. When you want more, an open catalog of freely licensed translations is one screen away.
- Two built in. KJV and WEB, both in the public domain, stored locally — no download, no sign-in, no wait.
- Many more on request. Pick a translation in the language you need and it downloads once, then reads offline like the rest.
- Right-to-left, laid out right. Translations in scripts like Hebrew and Arabic are set and aligned properly, not bolted on.
- Yours to remove. Delete a downloaded translation whenever you're done with it; the two built-in versions always stay.
Privacy
Your data stays with you
“The only time Grace Bible goes online is when you ask it to download a translation.”
No account. No ads. No analytics, no tracking, no profile assembled in the background. Your bookmarks, notes, lists, and reading history are written to your device and kept nowhere else.
Support
Free, and fully unlocked.
Every feature is available to everyone from the start. If the app earns a place in your day, Settings has a coffee-sized tip jar — three small sizes, entirely optional. It unlocks nothing, because there's nothing left to unlock.
