Sacred Scriptorium vs gramma Bible

Every day, Sacred Scriptorium sets a small portion of Scripture on your desk — the next few untranslated verses of the book you've chosen, in the original Greek or Hebrew. You render them in your own words. That's the whole practice: ten minutes, most days, and verse by verse the Scriptures become your own translation. MADE FOR REAL PROGRESS • Today's portion picks up exactly where you left off — no syllabus, no falling behind • Tap any word for its dictionary form, meaning, and full parsing; help when you want it, silence when you don't • Optional transliteration under the Greek while your alphabet confidence grows • A daily streak, and Stats that show how much of the New Testament is in your own words • Peek at the Berean Standard Bible on demand — hidden by default, so the rendering stays yours THE COMPLETE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT All 27 books of the SBL Greek New Testament ship in the app, with word-by-word morphology and the SBLGNT's own critical apparatus for readers who want to see the textual variants. THE HEBREW BIBLE, BOOK BY BOOK A growing set of Hebrew Bible books (Westminster Leningrad Codex) with morpheme-level analysis — prefixes, suffixes, and stems each explained, with qere/ketiv notes. YOUR TRANSLATION, ACCUMULATING • The My Translation shelf fills in verse by verse, book by book • Revise any verse; keep parallel translation sets (a literal pass, a colloquial one) • Write chapter notes right from the translation desk • Study any chapter in side-by-side panes: original, your translation(s), the Berean Standard Bible, and your notes — two panes on iPhone, up to four on iPad and Mac • Compose and share any span of verses as clean prose, with your own paragraphing VOCABULARY THAT STICKS A spaced-repetition trainer built from New Testament frequency tiers quietly grows what you can read unaided — and everything you translate feeds what the app knows you know. FREE TO START, ONE PURCHASE FOR EVERYTHING John, Philippians, and 1 John in Greek, and Jonah and Ruth in Hebrew, are free forever — months of daily practice. A single small one-time purchase unlocks every other book of the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Bible as it grows. No subscription, ever. QUIET BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your translations sync privately through your own iCloud, visible to no one but you. Works fully offline.

gramma sets Scripture the way fine books are set. Its typesetting engine builds on the line-breaking tradition of TeX: justified, hyphenated paragraphs with the same words on the same lines on every device — so your visual memory of the page carries from phone to tablet to desktop. READING • Endless scrolling through whole books, in columns on larger screens • Side-by-side views that follow each other: text beside text, commentary, or footnotes • Desks — saved workspace layouts for study, comparison, devotion • Careful typography: Gentium and Literata faces, adjustable measure, spacing, and weight STUDY • Imports standard SWORD modules (e.g. from CrossWire) and OSIS files: Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, devotionals, and books • Strong's numbers: tap a word for its lexicon entry, follow a number into a concordance built from tagged texts • Fast search with language-aware matching • Reading plans imported from simple JSON files YOUR NOTES, YOURS • Word-precise color marks and notes, anchored to verses • A notes overview across everything you have marked • Sync between your own devices as end-to-end-encrypted files in a folder you choose (your iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or any synced folder) — no gramma server, no account FREE AND OPEN • Completely free, no purchases, no ads, no analytics • Open source (MIT): github.com/sse1234/gramma • The app ships without Bible texts; you import the modules you have the right to use
