About

gramma sets Scripture the way fine books are set. Its typesetting engine builds on the line-breaking tradition of TeX: justified, hyphenated paragraphs at the text size and line length you choose — one column on the phone, more on tablet and desktop. READING • Endless scrolling through whole books, in columns on larger screens • Side-by-side views that follow each other: text beside text, commentary, or footnotes • Desks — saved workspace layouts for study, comparison, devotion • Careful typography: Gentium and Literata faces; text size, line length, column gap, spacing, and weight are yours to set STUDY • Imports standard SWORD modules (e.g. from CrossWire) and OSIS files: Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, devotionals, and books — and reads PDF, EPUB, and ODT documents into the same library • Strong's numbers: tap a word for its lexicon entry, follow a number into a concordance built from tagged texts • Fast search with language-aware matching • Reading plans imported from simple JSON files YOUR NOTES, YOURS • Word-precise marks and notes, anchored to verses, with eight pens you define — hue, strength, wash or underline — or a note shown by a small icon alone • A notes overview across everything you have marked • Sync between your own devices as end-to-end-encrypted files in a folder you choose (your iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or any synced folder) — no gramma server, no account FREE AND OPEN • Completely free, no purchases, no ads, no analytics • Open source (MIT): github.com/sse1234/gramma • The app ships without Bible texts; you import the modules you have the right to use

What's New in gramma Bible

1.1.6

October 24, 2026

Added - "p" opens the reading plan on the desktop. - Reference links in headings show in the number color, like the markers and verse numbers that open something too. Fixed - Footnotes views follow a jump at once: the text view reports the column it landed on, not the target it was sent to. - A jump to a verse whose chapter was not yet typeset landed on the chapter's first line; it now completes on the verse when the layout arrives (seen mostly on phones). - Multi-column views no longer leave a chapter heading at the foot of a column behind the reading position (ADR 0028, amended). - A footnote marker at the end of a line is no longer cut by the edge: its box carries the italic overhang. - PDF import: a footnote broken by a page turn continues on the next page instead of ending mid-word and spilling into the text. - Hiding or showing the chrome no longer moves the single-column reader by up to a page: the text keeps its pixel position. - Footnotes views letter notes exactly as the text's markers run: a note on a verse the translation omits (such as Acts 8:37) no longer shifts the letters of the notes after it; it shows its verse number instead.
