Your companion through Scripture
Right-click any chapter (or long-press on mobile) to star it for deeper study.
The Bible has 1,189 chapters. Click any square to mark it as read — and watch your journey unfold.
Use the + Include Deuterocanonical books button in the footer to add the 7 additional books (Tobit, Judith, 1 & 2 Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, and Baruch) found in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles. Your preference is saved automatically.
I wanted to track my Bible reading, but most plans felt too prescriptive. Miss a day and you're behind. Fall behind and the guilt creeps in.
Then I came across a simple PDF by Matthew Everhard — every chapter of the Bible, ready to tick off as you read it. No daily schedule, no catching up, no guilt. Just a record of where you'd been and a nudge toward where you hadn't. Something clicked.
The goal of this app is the same: a companion for your journey through Scripture, not a plan to keep up with. You choose what to read, and when. It tracks your progress, celebrates the milestones, and quietly cheers you on.
If you enjoy reading through the Bible, check out Bible Adventure — a choose-your-own-path Bible reading app where every chapter you finish unlocks a new set of choices for what to read next.
