Libellum is your Bible for every day: calm by design, free, without ads and without an account.

VERSE OF THE DAY

READ
• A calm reading view, light or dark, in your font size
• Swipe to turn the page, or switch to a reading mode like an e-book
• Listen as the Bible is read aloud and follow verse by verse, even with the screen locked
• Tap a verse for bookmarks, collections, cross-references, comparison and sharing

COLLECT & REMEMBER
• Bookmarks with your own title and note

• Collected verses are highlighted while you read

SEARCH & COMPARE
• Find words, phrases or references like “John 3:16” in all your Bibles
• Narrow the search to one book or testament
• Translations side by side: one verse in all your Bibles, or two Bibles chapter by chapter through the whole Bible
• Over 360,000 cross-references from the “Treasury of Scripture Knowledge”, drawn as arcs across the whole Bible: see where a chapter leads

VERSES BY TOPIC
• Hand-picked verses for occasions like weddings, baptisms, confirmations, birthdays or funerals
• For life situations like illness, grief, fear or worry, and for comfort, hope, thankfulness and blessing

WHY “LIBELLUM”?
Libellum is Latin for “little book”. That is what the Latin Bible calls the little open book in Revelation 10:2, which is “sweet as honey”. That is what this app wants to be: a little open book you always have with you.

Libellum is free. If you would like to give something, the app shows charities for persecuted Christians in your country.
