Bible Study Planner helps you read the Bible every day and keep everything you study in one place. Pick a way through the Bible that suits you, at a pace you can actually keep. Every plan keeps its own progress: switch between them and pick each one up where you left it. The app counts how many times you have read the Bible through on each plan. Tick chapters off as you go and watch your progress fill in, with a reading streak and a six-month calendar of the days you read. FOUR WAYS THROUGH THE BIBLE β€’ A chapter a day, straight through from Genesis to Revelation β€’ The whole Bible in a year, a few chapters a day β€’ The books in the order they were written β€’ The events in the order they happened PLAN WHAT YOU STUDY β€’ Save articles and links as study material β€’ Choose the day you will study each one β€’ Set your personal study days and family worship days β€’ Get a reminder the evening before if you have not picked your material yet β€’ See everything due on the Today screen, grouped under the day it belongs to NOTES THAT STAY WITH THE CHAPTER β€’ Write notes and attach photos or files β€’ Link a note to a Bible book and chapter β€’ Tag your notes and find them again with search β€’ Work through reflection questions on what you have read ON YOUR HOME SCREEN β€’ A widget with the verse for the year β€’ A widget with questions for reflection BUILT TO FIT YOUR ROUTINE β€’ Light and dark themes β€’ English, Русский, Π£ΠΊΡ€Π°Ρ—Π½ΡΡŒΠΊΠ° β€’ Open chapters in the Bible app or website you already use β€’ Save a link straight from your browser with the share sheet β€’ A daily reading reminder at the time you choose FREE, WITH NO STRINGS No ads, no subscription, no account to create. Your reading progress, notes, and study material are stored on your device. The app itself makes one kind of network request: reading the title of a link you save, so you do not have to type it yourself. Anything else that goes online β€” a voluntary tip, or the invitation to rate the app β€” is handled by Apple. If the app is useful to you, Settings has an optional tip jar. It unlocks nothing β€” every feature is already free

No subscription. No ads. An alarm clock you can't switch off half asleep. To silence it, solve a task: a math problem, a missing digit, a sequence, a phrase to retype, a barcode you stuck up in another room, a photo of your toilet or fridge, shaking the phone, turning the phone a few times, or a short walk. Alarms can have a name, and can be set just once, for a flight or an exam. Five missions are free from day one. The other four, chaining several in a row and your own sound come with a single purchase. A SYSTEM ALARM, NOT A BACKGROUND SOUND Ranok is built on AlarmKit, so it rings with the app fully closed. That isn't a setting you can lose or a permission that quietly lapses. It's how the app is built. WHY REPEATS AND NOT VOLUME A minute of silence is enough to fall back asleep. So Ranok comes back every 15 seconds until the task is solved, instead of ringing louder. A LOCK ON THE SETTINGS For as long before the alarm as you choose, it stops being editable. You can change your mind, but during the day, with a clear head. THE SOUND IS YOURS Five generated tones and five funny ones, matched in volume so that choosing one isn't quietly choosing a volume. Or an audio file of your own. A DREAM JOURNAL A dream fades within minutes. After the alarm, Ranok offers to write it down while you still remember it. Entries stay on your phone only, with search, tags and export, and behind Face ID if you like. STATS WITHOUT THE CHEERING How many mornings, how many wake-ups, how many escapes. No points and no confetti: this is a mirror of the habit, not a scoreboard. HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS You can always wait Ranok out. The ladder of repeats is finite, and no app controls the system Stop button. Ranok makes escaping cost more than getting up. It doesn't make it impossible.
