## What is gramma Bible?

gramma sets Scripture the way fine books are set. Its typesetting engine builds on the line-breaking tradition of TeX: justified, hyphenated paragraphs with the same words on the same lines on every device — so your visual memory of the page carries from phone to tablet to 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, adjustable measure, spacing, and weight

STUDY • Imports standard SWORD modules (e.g. from CrossWire) and OSIS files: Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, devotionals, and books • 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 color marks and notes, anchored to verses • 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
