Immerse Research vs Abrahamic Reader

Immerse is a sacred-text reader built for research: read every tradition side by side, collect and annotate passages as you go, and turn them into organized, exportable compilations. It's a complete offline library of 400+ sacred texts — and a set of tools for building your own thematic compilations from across every tradition in it. BUILD COMPILATIONS Long-press any passage to select it, then add it to a compilation. Compilations are your collections: gather passages from the Qur'an, the Bible, the Upanishads, the Buddhist sutras, the Bahá'í writings and more under a single theme — Prayer, Justice, The Nature of the Soul. Your compilation grows one passage at a time, across every tradition in the library. ANNOTATE AS YOU READ Add notes to any selection. Create cross-references linking a passage in one book to a passage in another — the connections you notice, kept where you found them. When you build a cross-reference, tap Suggest a match to get AI-ranked related passages from across the whole library, each with a one-line reason. Everything anchors to the exact text you selected. EXPORT AND SHARE Export any compilation — or a set of cross-references, laid out side by side by tradition — as a Word document, PDF, spreadsheet, or Markdown file, complete with your notes. Or share your compilations or cross-references with a private link: anyone with the link can open them or save a copy into their own library. Ready to send, publish, or study from. A COMMUNITY OF READERS Make any compilation public and other readers can find it in Discover — preview its passages, then import the whole collection into your own library with one tap, and follow the readers whose work you want to keep up with. A living body of interfaith study, built by the people using it. THE LIBRARY 400+ complete sacred texts, all offline. Full-text search across every one of them at once — type a whole question and AI finds the passage that answers it, right alongside your keyword matches. Listen to any passage read aloud.
