## What is BibleDiary?

Have God’s word with you every day, write your devotional note under it, and draw closer to the Lord.
BibleDiary keeps that rhythm: a verse each day, your note under it, and a look back over the weeks and the year (Year book export: Plus). Save the verse as your lock screen to read it again.

Sound familiar?
· You read Scripture, and by lunchtime the moment is gone
· Insights, prayer requests and thanks are scattered across notes, messages and paper
· You want to keep a devotional journal, but "how long should it be?" stops you, and one missed week ends it
· You pick up your phone a hundred times a day, and almost none of those times are for God’s word

How BibleDiary helps

WRITE IT DOWN SO IT STAYS
One line is a whole entry. No title to invent, no page to fill. Each entry is kept under the verse you started from. What stood out in your reading, a prayer request, someone you’re praying for, something you’re thankful for: write whatever is true, and on a tired or empty day one honest sentence counts. Add a photo or a voice note when there’s more to say; photos lose their GPS data. A guided devotion takes you from reading to writing to prayer.

KEEP THE VERSE IN SIGHT
Typeset the verse you wrote about as a lock screen or wallpaper in one tap. Pick from photographs and illustrations (a selection is free) or use your own photo. iOS doesn’t let an app change your lock screen directly, so on iPhone BibleDiary hands you off to iOS’s system wallpaper flow to finish.

TODAY’S VERSE
The whole verse arrives as a notification at the time you choose, so you can read it without opening the app. There are 23 themes: follow one a verse a day and move on to the next when it ends, or take a different theme every day. 
PRAYER REQUESTS
Keep a prayer request with a verse to pray with, mark the days you prayed, add follow-up notes, and mark it answered; the earlier notes stay. Requests are encrypted on your device and excluded from cloud sync. 
LOOK BACK AND SEE THE ROAD
Browse by month, with a short review of each. At year’s end, your entries, their verses and your photos become an A5 Year book, exported as a PDF. Preview the first 6 pages for free; Plus exports the whole book.

THE WHOLE BIBLE, OFFLINE
The Chinese Union Version (Shen edition), KJV, Reina-Valera 1909 and Bíblia Livre (BLIVRE) are built in. 
8 built-in reading plans: the whole Bible, the New Testament, the Gospels, Psalms, Proverbs, Genesis, John and Acts. 
ONLY YOU CAN READ IT
Entries are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM, with the key held in the iOS Keychain. Turn on the journal lock to open it with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. If you turn on cloud backup, entries are encrypted on your phone before upload, so our servers only ever hold ciphertext. You can permanently delete your account and cloud data inside the app. No ads, no third-party tracking.
