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 β the whole Bible, one testament, or a selection you make yourself β 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 β 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 β 66 books, 1,189 chapters, 31,102 verses β 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.

Paced
Read full descriptionHide full description
Paced keeps your Bible reading plan: what to read today, and a tick when you've read it. Read each chapter inside Paced, in the World English Bible, the King James Version or the Berean Standard Bible, or open it in the Bible app you already use: YouVersion, ESV, Logos, Bible Gateway, Blue Letter Bible or Olive Tree. Your translation, your notes and your highlights stay where they are. Miss a day? Paced never shows "days behind". The chapters you skipped quietly re-spread over the days you have left, and you still finish on the date you chose. TODAY, ONE TAP Today's chapters as big checkboxes. Tap the name to read it. Tap Done at the end of the chapter and the next one opens. Tap the circle if you read it elsewhere. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN At your reading time, the day's chapters arrive as a notification with two buttons: "Open in Paced" (or "Open in YouVersion", named for the Bible app you chose) and "Done". A widget shows today's passage and where you are in the plan, with Done. Siri and Shortcuts can mark today done and read back today's chapters. PLANS β’ Bible in a Year (Genesis to Revelation) β’ New Testament in 90 Days β’ Psalms & Proverbs in a Month β’ Chronological β’ Four Streams (four readings a day, M'Cheyne-style) β’ Gospels in 30 Days β’ Old & New in Parallel β’ Custom: pick the books, pick the end date, the chapters divide evenly FLEXIBLE PACING A plan has an end date, not a daily quota. Move the end date sooner or later and today's reading adjusts. Read ahead whenever you like. QUIET BY DESIGN No streaks. No guilt. No account, no social feed, no comments, no AI. The reading time is optional; skipping a day changes nothing. PAY ONCE Free: three plans, one at a time, Today, reading inside Paced, the Lock Screen passage, the widget, Siri, flexible pacing, your progress, and the hand-off to your Bible app. Paced Pro is one purchase, yours for good: every plan, custom plans, several plans at once, and your reading calendar. No subscription, ever. PRIVATE Your plans stay on your phone and in your own iCloud. The app sends anonymous counts (a chapter was ticked), never which chapter, never anything you type.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bible Reading Plan at none against Paced's 1. Paced's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
