Read full description

Read the Bible every day, and keep going. Bible Habit gives you one short reading a day, a streak that keeps you motivated, and Bible AI to explain what you read, privately on your phone. No ads. No account. The whole Bible works offline. BUILD A HABIT THAT LASTS • One short reading a day from a plan that fits you: the Gospel of John, Psalms of comfort, Peace for anxious days, Proverbs in a month and more • Make your own plan from any book or topic, or just say it: “a reading plan for Luke in 21 days” • Watch your streak grow, with badges at 7, 14, 30, 50, 100 and 365 days • Miss a day? Every 7 days in a row earns a Streak Freeze that keeps your streak going • Fall behind on a plan? Pick up from today, with nothing to catch up • A daily reminder at the time you choose, naming the day’s reading UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ • Ask Bible AI anything about Scripture and get clear answers in plain words, with verses you can tap to read • Private by design: Bible AI runs on your phone, so nothing you ask leaves it. After a one-time download of about 1.1 GB, it works offline • Talk with people of the Bible: imagined conversations with Moses, David, Ruth, Esther, Mary, Paul and others, grounded in Scripture • A short reflection question after each reading. Write your answer and it’s saved to your notes READ YOUR WAY • Classic and modern translations, including the King James Version and the World English Bible • Highlight in five colors, bookmark verses, and take notes by typing or dictating • Listen to any chapter read aloud, verse by verse, at your own pace • Search by word, reference or topic, or tap the mic and say “John 3:16” or “forgiveness” • Share verses as beautiful images • Light, dark and sepia themes, adjustable text size, and fonts made for easy reading EVERY DAY, AT A GLANCE • Today’s verse and your streak on Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • An encouraging verse each morning, if you’d like one • Invite a friend to read the same plan with you • Back up your notes, highlights, plans and streak to a file, and restore them on a new phone Whether you’re opening the Bible for the first time or coming back after a while, Bible Habit helps you show up every day. Choose a plan, read day 1, and keep going. FREE AND PREMIUM Bible Habit is free to use: the whole Bible, reading plans, notes, highlights, read-aloud, streaks and badges, plus 3 Bible AI questions a day. Premium adds unlimited Bible AI and conversations with people of the Bible, a Streak Freeze every month with room to hold two, and a way to restore your streak the day after you miss.
