## What is Lantern?

Lantern reads the Bible aloud. Open it, press play, and listening begins from
exactly where you stopped — chapter after chapter, book after book, for as long
as you want to listen.

No account. No subscription. No paywall. We do not think anyone should have to
pay to read or hear the Bible.

LISTEN ANYWHERE
Every translation is stored inside the app, so Lantern works with no signal at
all — on a plane, on a commute, in a basement. Nothing to download first,
nothing to buy.

PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
Lantern remembers your place automatically. Close the app mid-verse, come back
days later, and it resumes on the same line.

A VOICE THAT IS EASY TO LISTEN TO
Choose a reading voice and speed, then pick a tone. Soothing slows the pace and
lengthens the pauses between verses and clauses, so it sounds like someone
reading to you rather than a machine reciting.

SLEEP TIMER
Set it to stop after a chosen number of minutes, or at the end of the current
chapter, and fall asleep to scripture without the app running all night.

THREE TRANSLATIONS INCLUDED
- King James Version
- Bible in Basic English — plain, simple wording
- Reina-Valera (1909) — in Spanish, with a Spanish reading voice

Switch translation mid-chapter and Lantern keeps your exact place.

ALSO INSIDE
- The complete Old and New Testaments, all 66 books
- A verse of the day
- Reading plans that track your progress
- Bookmarks and a daily listening streak
- Shareable verse images

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Lantern has no accounts and no trackers. Your reading position, bookmarks and
settings are saved on your device and never sent anywhere. We cannot see what
you read or listen to, because we collect nothing.

All included translations are in the public domain.
