Bible reader
OpenRead the whole Bible chapter by chapter. The reader remembers where you were and continues from there.
How do I continue where I left off?
The home page shows a "Continue reading" button that opens the last chapter you read.
Everything the app can do, in one place. Search in your own words — the search understands more than one phrasing.
Read the whole Bible chapter by chapter. The reader remembers where you were and continues from there.
The home page shows a "Continue reading" button that opens the last chapter you read.
Switch between translations in the reader: the Icelandic Bible, KJV, ESV, WEB and BSB.
Search for a word, verse or reference ("John 3:16") — and your own stuff: comments, threads and chains. Search lives in the reader and the menu.
Have the chapter read aloud. Opens from the audio button in the reader and continues across chapters.
A new verse on the home page every day. Listen from the verse, share it as a card, or open it in the reader.
A lens is a set of highlights with its own colours — like highlighter pens for different themes. Pick a lens and mark verses in the reader.
Choose an active lens (e.g. from the lens switcher in the reader), then tap a verse and pick a colour.
Yes — create as many as you like on the lenses page, each with its own themes and colours.
Share a lens with a friend and read together: they see your highlights appear in their Bible, and with edit access they can highlight into the same lens too.
Only if you grant them edit access when sharing — otherwise they can only view it.
Open the lens on the lenses page and choose "Share lens" — you get a link to send.
The same highlight shows up in more than one translation at once — mark a verse in the Icelandic Bible and see it in the ESV too. Toggled in the reader menu.
Write a note on any verse. All comments collect on one page and are searchable.
Longer writing about a topic or passage — like small essays with verses woven in.
Link verses together into a chain — your own cross-reference trail through the Bible, verse by verse.
Mark where you are or places you want to find again quickly.
Collect your favourite verses in one place with the heart in the reader.
Pin verses to the home page so they greet you every time you open the app.
Learn verses by heart with spaced-repetition practice — the app resurfaces a verse when it's due for review.
Add friends, see their reading in the feed, react, send messages, and invite more people in.
On the community page you can send an invite link — whoever opens it gets connected to you.
Share a verse as a beautiful image card — pick a style and send it anywhere. Sharing lives on the verse menu and the verse of the day.
Read daily and your streak grows — the flame in the header shows where you stand. Grace days protect the streak when you miss a day.
A day that protects your streak even though you didn't read — it's used automatically when you miss a day.
Tap the flame at the top of the page — that opens your streak, heatmap and friends' streaks.
Follow a plan through a book or the whole Bible at your own pace — progress tracks the chapters you finish, not a calendar.
Nothing is lost — plans are based on completed chapters, so you just continue where you were.
A map of your reading across the whole Bible — see which books and chapters you've read and what remains.
A wrap-up of your reading — stats, highlights and your reading personality, ready to share.
Daily Bible puzzles — word games, verse riddles, timelines, memory match and more. Share your result without spoiling the answer.
Get a daily reading reminder at the time that suits you. Turned on and off in settings.
Open settings (the gear) and switch notifications off there.
Sign in and everything of yours — lenses, notes, streak, progress — syncs across devices and is kept in the cloud. You can also export a backup file.
No — sign in on the new device and everything comes down from the cloud.
Theme (light/dark), font, text size, reading width, dyslexia-friendly font, words of Jesus in red and more — all in settings.
Add SESIL to your home screen — it opens like an app and reading works offline once chapters have loaded.
SESIL is a web app — no store download needed. "Add to Home Screen" in the browser gives the same experience.
