## What is Lantern Bible App?

The complete Berean Standard Bible — all 66 books, with the translation's own
footnotes, cross-references, and section headings — installed with the
application and read from a file on your device.

IT MAKES NO NETWORK CONNECTION OF ANY KIND. No account, no sign-in, no server,
no telemetry, nothing collected. Open it on a plane, in a basement, or with the
wifi off, and it behaves exactly the same. Your highlights, notes and bookmarks
stay on your device.

MADE FOR READING
A measured column, typeset in Charis SIL, with control over size, line spacing,
column width, verse numbers, section headings and justification. Read mode sets
the text alone; Study mode keeps the apparatus beside it. The words of Christ
are set in blue, the way the typeset edition does it — and you can turn that
off.

AND FOR STUDY
Search the whole text. A topical index of tens of thousands of entries. Highlight
words rather than whole verses, in a palette of colors. Notes in the margin.
Bookmarks gathered into groups you put in your own order — a sermon is a
sequence, and a group keeps one.

SYNC IS A FOLDER, NOT AN ACCOUNT
Point Lantern at a folder you already sync however you like — iCloud Drive,
Dropbox, a stick you carry. Each device writes one file of its own and reads the
others'. It is off until you turn it on; there is still no server anywhere in
it, and nothing leaves your machine except into the folder you chose.

Export and import your notes as a single file. Importing merges rather than
replaces, so importing the same file twice changes nothing.

LICENSING
The Scripture text is public domain. The Lantern apparatus is CC0. Charis SIL
ships unmodified under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. The full rights page
renders inside the app, offline, at Settings → About.
