Most of us mean to read the Bible every day. A week or two in, life gets busy and the momentum quietly disappears. Bible Reading Tracker gives you a plan that fits the time you actually have. Pick what you want to read and how long you want to spend on it, and the app works out each day's portion. Open it, read, mark it done. That is the whole routine. READ THE BIBLE IN A YEAR Choose the whole Bible in a year and the app gives you 365 daily readings, in order or roughly chronological. Your streak, progress and projected finish date show you at a glance whether you're on track. READING PLANS (free) - 2, 5 or 10 minutes a day, in any Bible book - A chapter a day, straight through any book - The whole Bible in a year, or at a pace you choose, in order or roughly chronological - Memorial Bible reading: the ten-day 2027 schedule, 16 to 25 March, following Jesus' final days, death and resurrection - Meeting workbook reading: each week's meeting Bible reading, split into seven short daily portions - Build your own: mix books together, set a target end date and let the app work out the pace, or pick an exact chapter range TIMING YOU CAN TRUST A "2 minutes a day" plan here really is about two minutes. Reading times are calibrated from real audio Bible narration, roughly 165 words a minute, and readings are split at verse boundaries rather than rounded up to whole chapters. So a short day stays short, whichever book you are in. Each day gives you one continuous passage, shown as a single item to mark off, for example Genesis 1:27-2:8. Nothing to piece together before breakfast. STAYING ON TRACK (free) - Mark each day's reading as read - A reading streak, with your best streak kept - Progress percentage and a projected finish date based on your real pace - 32 achievement badges, with a small celebration when you earn one - An optional daily reminder at a time that suits you - Open any passage straight in JW Library, or on jw.org if it is not installed - Pause a plan and pick it up later. Previous plans are kept PREMIUM — OPTIONAL, ONE-TIME PURCHASE Everything above is free, permanently. If you'd like more: • Reading stats — an activity heatmap of the last 16 weeks, your current and best streak, weekly pace, and a projected finish date • Daily study notes — write and keep your thoughts against each day's reading • Home screen widget — today's passage and your progress at a glance One payment.

Bible Reading Plan
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most reading plans hand you someone else's schedule. This one starts from what you want to read and when you want to be done. Pick the books — the whole Bible, one testament, or a selection you make yourself — set a start and a finish date, mark the days you do not read, and the plan follows. Pick the books. All 66, the Old Testament, the New Testament, or a grid where you tap the ones you want. Sixteen books for a season, or four gospels over Lent. The plan is rebuilt the moment you change the selection. By verses, not chapters. Psalms has 150 chapters and 2,461 verses. Obadiah has one chapter and 21. A plan that counts chapters gives you a twenty minute day and a two minute day and calls them equal. This one is verse-weighted, so the days come out even. Your finish date is a date, not a guess. Rest days come out of the real calendar and leap years get their extra day. The target after any day is cumulative, so rounding never leaves the total short — the last day lands exactly on the last verse. Fall behind, and you choose how to re-spread. Keep the finish date and read a little more each day, or keep the daily load and finish later. Both are shown with the numbers before you pick. Missing days is not treated as a failure and nothing is taken away from you for it. It carries no Bible text, only the structure of 66 books. There is no translation inside this app, no recorded reading, and no devotional writing. It works from the structure alone — 66 books, 1,189 chapters, 31,102 verses — and tells you which chapters and verses today's portion covers. You read them in whatever Bible you already use, on paper or in the app you already have. Share your progress as a card. The plan lives on this phone and nowhere else. There is no server behind it, so there is no sign-up, no password to lose, and no reason for the app to ask you for anything. Airplane mode changes nothing except that the optional ad stops loading.
