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.
