## What is Versefold?

Versefold is a quiet place to read, study, and remember Scripture. It opens
straight to the Word — no feed, no streaks, no social layer, nothing pulling
at your attention. Scripture first. Everything else quiet.

READ
Open to your last reading location and simply read. The full KJV lives on
your device and works completely offline. Choose from more than twenty
translations in English and Spanish — NIV, ESV, NLT, NKJV, CSB, NASB 2020,
The Message, Reina-Valera, and more — and flip between them instantly.
Compare any verse side by side in the translations you choose, in the order
you choose them. Clean typography, warm ivory pages, and themes that stay
out of the way.

MARK IT LIKE A PAPER BIBLE
Press and hold, then drag your finger across the words that matter. Tap
Marker to use your last color, or hold it to choose yellow, green, blue, or
pink. Add a penned underline, recolor selected words, or erase just part of
a mark. Your ink wraps naturally with the text. Notes leave a small
hand-penned mark beside the verse in every translation, and when a verse you
marked appears in another translation, a small ink swash in the margin
points you back to the version that holds your ink.

UNDERSTAND
Select any passage and Unfold it: a careful, deeper explanation grounded in
the text itself. Every explanation is clearly labeled as AI-assisted
commentary — never styled like Scripture — and carries a Basis section citing
the passages it draws on. Ask your own question about any passage and get an
answer rooted in the Word, not the internet.

STUDY
Build a personal guided study from any verse, book, or theme — choose the
length, the minutes per day, and the depth. Each day brings readings,
context, reflection questions, and a prayer prompt. Pause anytime. Nothing
expires, and there are no streaks to lose.

REMEMBER
Turn a verse into a confession card: the Scripture in full, with a short
confession in your own voice built on its meaning — crafted with help if you
want it, always editable. Save it to Photos or share it. "Meditate" in
Scripture is the Hebrew hagah — to mutter, to keep the Word on your lips.
Versefold is built around that practice.

SEARCH BY MEANING
Search for "confidence and strength in the Lord" and find the passages that
carry that meaning — not just the ones that contain those words.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. No ads. No analytics trackers. Your highlights,
notes, and studies stay on your device — export them or delete them anytime.

The Word before the phone.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-10-27

More ways to mark what matters.

Highlight in yellow, green, blue, or pink. Tap Marker to use your last color, or press and hold to choose another.

Recolor just the words you select, and erase part of a highlight while keeping the surrounding ink.

### 1.4 — 2026-09-19

Thumb through the books you've marked.

Open Books and see a hunter underline on chapters you have noted, and a gold ring on chapters you have highlighted or underlined.
Book names carry the same quiet hints, so you can find your way back the way you would in a paper Bible.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-14

Read it in Spanish, too.

Open NTV, NVI-S, RVR09, or NBLA and the reader follows: book names, the menu, Settings, and How-to.
Unfold and studies on a Spanish Bible are grounded in Reina Valera 1909 — the same public-domain trust layer KJV is for English.
NVI-S is New Testament only. Old Testament books point you to NTV or RVR09 instead of looking offline.
The Spanish walkthrough appears once, the first time you are on a Spanish Bible. English first-run is unchanged.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-05

Mark it like paper. Carry it with you.

Marker and underline now work across verses: press and hold, then drag through the words you want — even from one verse into the next.

Highlighting lives in that one gesture. The tap-select menu is for Unfold, Compare, notes, and study.

Meditate this replaces confession cards. Turn a verse into a square to share, or a lock-screen graphic that leaves room for the clock. Use a brand look, an atmosphere, or a photo from your library. The verse is printed in the translation you are reading.

Save to Photos and set it as wallpaper, or share it with a friend.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-24

More Word, side by side.

Twenty-two translations in English and Spanish — ESV, NIV, NLT, NKJV, CSB,
NASB 2020, The Message, Reina-Valera, and more — one tap from the top bar,
grouped by language and ordered by popularity.

Compare, rebuilt: pick the translations you want and read them side by
side in the order you tap them, or hit All for the full lineup. Your
compare set is remembered.

Your ink travels: when a verse you highlighted or underlined appears in
another translation, a small ink swash in the margin points you back to
the version that holds your marks — in the reader and in Compare.

The in-app guide has two new pages showing marks and Compare in action.
It will greet you once after this update.

Dark Mode polish across every menu and sheet.
