What's New in BibleDesk
1.3
October 17, 2026
CREATE A new Create tab makes cards from Scripture: verse cards, Advent days, greetings, sermon covers, drawings for children, and wallpapers. Pick an occasion — Good Morning, Sunday, a birthday, Christmas and more — and a verse and greeting arrive in the language you choose. Apple Intelligence plans a picture for the verse on your device, and Apple's Image Playground draws it. Move the words, change the font and colour, add a second language, then share. Everything you share is kept in Your Images. SERMON POSTERS Turn a sermon note into an illustrated poster or a teaching sheet. You review and edit the summary before anything is drawn. VERSE REMINDERS Choose a time and the day's verse arrives as a notification, even with no connection. THE OLD TESTAMENT, ILLUSTRATED Chapter artwork now covers both Testaments: 1,800 new paintings for the Old Testament, 2,607 in all. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE Saved notes now sit behind the tray in Service Mode. Delete All My Content also removes Create pictures. Many smaller fixes. Image Playground requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence and an internet connection. Scripture always follows the translation you choose. Illustrations were created with AI and are artistic interpretations, not historical photographs.
