## What is Scriptly?

Scriptly is a Bible you can write in.

Most Bible apps give you text and a highlighter. Scriptly gives you a page — with a margin wide enough to think in. Read the passage on the left, and write whatever you want beside it in your own hand.

A REAL PAGE
• Ruled, squared, dotted or blank paper, in the page colour you like.
• Put the margin on the left or the right, so your palm never covers the text.
• Pinch to zoom the page; the text stays crisp at any size.

WRITTEN, NOT TYPED
• Pen, highlighter and eraser, with your own colours and widths.
• Scribble out to erase — draw back and forth over a stroke and only what you cross is removed.
• Your handwriting stays anchored to the verse it belongs to, on any screen.

READ DEEPER
• Multiple translations, in English, Chinese, Korean and Spanish.
• Tap a word to see the Greek or Hebrew behind it, with its lexicon entry.
• See everywhere else a word appears, and open any of those verses in place.

YOURS, AND PRIVATE
• No account, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics.
• Your notes are stored on your device, and we have no server that could hold them.

Turn on iCloud sync and your notes follow you between iPads, in your own private iCloud container. It is off unless you use it, and we can neither see nor reach it.

Scriptly is made for iPad and Apple Pencil.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-17

A devotion every morning. My Utmost for His Highest and Daily Light on the Daily Path, in English, Chinese, Korean and Spanish — with the margin beside them to write in.

Your notes now travel on their own. Highlights and typed verse notes sync between your devices through your own iCloud, along with your handwriting, without you having to ask.

The passage picker fits a phone at last, and names a translation rather than abbreviating it.

Also: a line-spacing and line-strength setting for the ruled page, the chapters you have read kept where you can find them again, and a look at what readers everywhere are doing.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-23

Pin a verse in the margin: double-tap, type a reference like John 3:16, and it becomes a label you can move — tap it to read the verse without leaving the page.
Lasso: pick up your writing, then drag it, cut, copy and paste it — into another chapter or a note page.
Export a chapter or a note as a PDF from the toolbar.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-14

Fixes the Apple Pencil double-tap, which could stop switching between pen and eraser until the app was restarted.
Prayer and Reflection pages now open with their name drawn at the head, and the ruling starts below it.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-13

No release notes.
