About

Alma

Features
Read full description

Scripture on your screen. Before you open anything. You meant to read your Bible today. Then the day started Alma puts a verse where you already look — your home screen and your lock screen. Nothing to open, no streak to protect, no guilt if you miss a day. Just the Word, waiting where your eyes already go a hundred times. Tell Alma what season you're in — anxiety, grief, gratitude, waiting — and it draws from Scripture that meets you there. Pick a look that feels like yours. And read the full Bible whenever you want: every book, every chapter, free. KEY FEATURES Home and Lock Screen Widgets Every size, in the theme you chose. Set it once and Scripture shows up on its own, every day, without opening the app. A Verse for the Season You're In Eight collections built around real life: Anxiety, Grief, Gratitude, Purpose, Relationships, Healing, Provision, and Waiting. Three are yours from day one. Themes Worth Looking At Parchment, Midnight, and Sage are free. Sunrise and Dusty Rose come with Patron. Warm paper, deep night, quiet green — no clip art, no stock gradients. The Whole Bible, Never Locked Berean Standard Bible and King James, complete. Read any chapter, any time. Scripture is never behind a paywall in Alma. That is a promise, not a trial offer. A Feed for When One Verse Isn't Enough Swipe through curated Scripture chosen for where you are. Free every day, unlimited with Patron. Keep What Speaks to You Save verses, group them into collections, and write down what God is doing in your notes. Share Cards Worth Sending Turn any verse into a card for Stories, or a message to someone who needs it today. One Notification, at Your Hour You pick the time. One verse arrives. Nothing else — no promotions, no guilt trips, no nagging. No Account Required No email, no sign-up, no profile. Open the app and begin. WHY ALMA Most Bible apps ask you to come to them. Alma goes to you. The widget is the product: it works on the day you never open the app, on the day you are too tired to read, on the day you forgot you installed it. Scripture stops being one more task and becomes part of the screen you already live on. PERFECT FOR Anyone who wants Scripture in their day without adding another thing to do People walking through anxiety, grief, waiting, or a season that has no name yet Readers who want the Bible to look as good as it reads Anyone tired of apps that charge for the Word of God HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell Alma what brought you here and what season you are in 2. Choose your translation, your theme, and your hour 3. Add the widget to your home or lock screen 4. Open the app when you want more, or never, and still receive a verse each day Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
