## What is BibleKey?

BibleKey is the most thoughtful way to read the Bible. Tap any verse for instant meaning, context, and application. Ask anything and get rich, scripture-rooted answers. Talk through doubt, faith, and life with Eve — a steady companion grounded in Scripture. When you can't find the words to pray, let Eve weave them with you. Record a sermon and stay fully present — Selah takes the notes. Follow cross-references. Walk a family tree from Adam to Jesus. Everything, in one place.

TAP SCRIPTURE. UNDERSTAND IT INSTANTLY.
Select any verse or chapter and BibleKey explains it — meaning, background, and why it matters. Ask follow-up questions. Insight that used to take hours, in seconds.

EVE — YOUR COMPANION THROUGH THE WORD
A thoughtful companion grounded in Scripture. Ask anything — theology, doubt, life — and get warm, honest responses rooted in the Bible. Talk by text or voice. Eve remembers your conversations.

PRAYER MAKER — WHEN WORDS ARE HARD
Tell Eve what's sitting on your heart — thanks, mercy, please. She weaves it into a real prayer and speaks it back to you in a warm, steady voice. Save the ones that move you to your journal. Each prayer counts toward Mindful Minutes in Apple Health.

SELAH — RECORD. REFLECT. BE PRESENT.
Start recording at your service, then put your phone away and be fully present. Selah captures the transcript, key moments, every verse referenced, and a summary — ready when you come back.

SCRIPTURE, THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE READ
Seven translations — BSB, KJV, NIV, NLT, NKJV, plus the Catholic editions NLT-CE and Douay-Rheims — all free, with prose and poetry in their original literary structure. Catholic editions include the full deuterocanon woven into the canonical reading order. Switch freely; every feature works beautifully in each one. 

TRACE EVERY WORD TO ITS ROOTS
Tap any word for its definition, original Hebrew or Greek, etymology, and usage across the Bible. Seminary-level word study — one tap away.

AN INTERACTIVE FAMILY TREE FROM ADAM TO JESUS
A pan-and-zoom genealogy canvas spanning every era of biblical history. Tap any person for their story. Toggle the Messianic line from Adam through David to Jesus.

CROSS-REFERENCES THAT KEEP YOU ORIENTED
Follow cross-references with your trail tracked so you always find your way back. Insights explain why passages connect.

READ THE ENTIRE BIBLE IN A YEAR
Every Word is a daily reading plan built around three streams — Old Testament, New Testament, and Psalms. Five chapters a day, five days a week, weekends off. A gentle pace designed to get you to the finish line.

START EACH MORNING IN THE WORD
Today's Light is more than a daily verse. A five-card guided experience: the verse, its meaning, how it applies today, a reflection prompt, and a prayer.

READING JOURNEYS
Curated paths through Scripture by theme — hope, prayer, the life of Jesus. Connected passages with context and reflection.

LISTEN TO SCRIPTURE
Professional narration and on-device audio that works completely offline.

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS
Eight in-depth guides to the essentials — Who is Jesus, What is Grace, What is Prayer, and more.

BUILT FOR HOW YOU STUDY
Bookmarks, four-color highlights, tagged notes — synced across devices. Streaks, reminders, dyslexic-friendly font, full iPad support. Light and dark mode.

WHY BIBLEKEY EXISTS
Last year, I came to Christ. I bought a Bible, opened it, and two lines in I reached for my phone to look something up. I thought: surely there's an app that can just be there with me while I read. There wasn't. So I built it.

I'd love to hear what it's like for you.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0.0 — 2026-08-14

- Today's Light now draws from 225 backgrounds — 144 sacred artworks and 81 photographs. Van Eyck, Botticelli, Rubens, Zurbarán, Perugino, El Greco, Memling, Correggio, Tiepolo, and Gerard David now sit alongside the landscapes, every piece from the open collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Wikimedia Commons.
- A new control in Today's Light lets you pick sacred art, nature photography, or both.
- The art from a past day now stays with that day forever. Look back a month and you'll find exactly what you saw.
- Every artist named. Tap the credit to see the painting full, in its frame, whole — not cropped.
- A smaller app. We rebuilt how the artwork is delivered, cutting the download by more than half. New art now arrives on its own, without waiting for an update.
- Prayer Maker slows down. Prayers are read at a gentler pace, with a breath between thanksgiving, confession, and asking — and a longer pause before the Amen.
- Selah reads better at any size. Recording recaps no longer crowd or clip when text is enlarged.

### 2.5.6 — 2026-07-04

Every reader can now find the Deuterocanonical books — Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and 1 & 2 Maccabees — right in the Bible tab, whatever translation you use. Choose your preferred edition for them (World English Bible, NLT Catholic Edition, or Douay-Rheims) with a single tap.

### 2.5.4 — 2026-06-19

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 2.5.3 — 2026-06-12

Updates to Prayer Maker to make it even easier to craft the perfect prayer

### 2.5.2 — 2026-05-14

The Search tab is now Discover. 
Themed pages — love, fear, hope, peace, and more — each open into a focused reading view with a short reflection above the verses. Reading Journeys live here too. Search is still right at the top.

Fixed a critical bug where certain chapters would fail to load.
