A Bible app designed to help you spend more time in Scripture and less time navigating an app. Selah is built on one idea: reading the Bible should feel calm, beautiful, and personal. No ads. No feed. No profiles. No distractions. Open the app, choose a passage, and start reading. A BIBLE DESIGNED FOR READING Read in seven translations. Adjust text size, line spacing, and page warmth until it is comfortable, then swipe between chapters. Every chapter opens on a title page of its own. READ. HIGHLIGHT. REFLECT. • Highlight meaningful passages • Save private notes alongside any verse • Keep a journal as you read, with a focus mode that clears away everything but the page • Choose from multiple journaling formats, including SOAP, thanksgiving, self-examination, prayer, and sermon notes • Create a private prayer list and mark prayers as they are answered LEARN VERSES BY HEART Keep a deck of verse cards, or open Reveal, where the words disappear a few at a time until you can say it without looking. No scores. No streaks. No lives. Just Scripture becoming familiar. SEARCH EVERY TRANSLATION AT ONCE See how every translation renders the same verse, grouped by book with each match lit. Or type a reference like Romans 8:28 and go straight there. TRACK YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH SCRIPTURE Faith isn't a competition, and Bible reading shouldn't feel like one. See where your time has gone across the nine divisions of Scripture, the books you return to most, and a year of reading at a glance. No pressure to keep up. Just a simple record of time spent in God's Word. CARRY A VERSE WITH YOU Turn any passage into a wallpaper for your phone. Add widgets to your Home Screen and Lock Screen for the day's verse, your prayers, and how far you have read. BUILT WITH PRIVACY IN MIND Your highlights, notes, journals, and prayers belong to you. Your personal content is stored in your own iCloud account, not on our servers. We don't sell your data, and we don't share your private reflections. INCLUDED IN SELAH • Seven Bible translations, including NKJV, NLT, CSB, NASB, and WEB • 34 guided reading plans • Search across every translation at once • Scripture memory cards, and Reveal • Verse wallpapers, in nine palettes • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Automatic syncing across your devices Whether you're reading the Bible in a year, preparing for a sermon, or spending a few quiet minutes with God, Selah is a place to slow down and return to Scripture every day.
