Colophon is an offline study Bible built on one idea: there are older words under your English, and now you can touch them. Reverse-interlinear style — tap any English word to see the Greek or Hebrew behind it: the original word, its transliteration, its sense, and how often it appears across Scripture. No account. No feed. No ads. Nothing you read or write ever leaves your device. Just the text and its languages. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Tap any word in the KJV for its Strong's Greek or Hebrew entry — right inside your reading, without losing your place • Read public-domain translations (KJV, WEB, BSB) fully offline • Keep notes and highlights that survive every update — your study is never lost • Search the text, follow cross-references, and read in a calm, distraction-free page • Free at the core — every translation, Strong's, search, notes, and export NO ONE'S INTERPRETATION Colophon carries the text and its original languages, not a doctrinal slant. Public-domain sources, transparently attributed. Your notes and highlights stay on your device — Colophon has no servers and collects nothing about your study. COLOPHON PRO (optional, one-time) A single unlock — never a subscription, never a nag — adds the study desk (two translations abreast, verse by verse), notebooks that gather scattered notes into a study, print-ready study sheets, note import, the reading backgrounds beyond the plain page, your own text size, and Backup & Restore: your whole study in one file you keep, on any device, with no account. The study itself is always free. The words under the words.
