Shepherd vs Bible Reading Plan

Shepherd is a Bible reading tracker. Not another reader — a place to keep score of the reading you are already doing. Open a book, tap the chapters you finished, and watch the grid fill in. That is the whole interaction. Everything else in the app exists to show you what those taps add up to. MAKE A PLAN THAT FITS YOU Name it, pick the books, set a start and a due date. The whole Bible in a year, the New Testament over the summer, or a single walk through the Psalms — Shepherd does not push a schedule on you. Keep several plans side by side and switch whichever one is current. SEE THE PROGRESS Every plan carries its own percentage, its own finish date, and its own book count. A monthly calendar marks the days you actually read. A testament view splits Old from New so you can see where you have been spending your time. Nothing is buried; it is all on one screen. MARK A WHOLE BOOK AT ONCE Coming in partway through? Mark All Read fills a book in one tap, so your plan starts from where you truly are instead of from zero. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY No account. No sign-up. No sync waiting on a server. Shepherd keeps your reading on your device and works fine in airplane mode. There is no feed, no streak shaming, and no notification begging you to come back — just the record of what you read, waiting when you want it. SUPPORTED LANGUAGE English, Korean, Spanish, French, German, and Chinese, with all 66 book names translated in each. Light and dark themes follow your system. PLEASE NOTE Shepherd tracks your reading; it does not contain the Bible text. Read in the translation, app, or paper Bible you already love, then come here to mark the chapter. Questions, bugs, or a feature you wish existed? Settings has a direct line to the developer, and every message gets read.

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.
