Scripture Alone Bible

Scripture Alone is a Bible for Android phones, tablets and Wear OS, built for one thing: studying God's word without anything in the way. No ads. No trackers. No accounts. Reading, searching, highlighting and notes work anywhere, with or without a connection. A built-in, illustrated User Guide in your language covers every feature.

Read the whole Bible, offline
The New American Standard Bible — NASB 2020 is on your device from the moment it installs, and the Berean Standard Bible arrives with it; the NASB 1995, the American Standard Version and the King James Version download once, when you first choose one. Full-text search, the words of Christ in red, poetry set as poetry, and footnotes a tap away.

What the Bible says about what you're going through
Topics gathers passages for 72 themes — anxiety, grief, loneliness, fear, marriage, waiting and more — in the translation you read. Type a feeling like "anxious" in Go To and its topic comes up. In English, Nave's Topical Bible is there too, A to Z.

Bring your own Bibles
Import a DRM-free ePub, a Bible PDF with a text layer or a USFM file you own, or browse the openly licensed translations on eBible.org. A study Bible brings its notes, introductions, essays and maps; the words of Christ carry over in red; and an import takes the place of the same translation read with an online key. Imports stay on your device.

Make it comfortable
Seven typefaces, adjustable size and spacing, five themes, paragraphs or verse by verse, and auto-scroll into the next chapter.

Go straight there
Type "jn 3 16" or "rom 8:28-39" to jump to a passage, or search any word or phrase.

Highlight, note and favorite
Highlight in five colors, favorite the verses you return to, and attach notes to one or more passages — a Sunday sermon on Romans 8:1–17, say. The Highlights list gathers every marked verse in Bible order, and Notes, Highlights and Favorites narrow to one book or chapter. Export notes as PDF, Markdown or text, or bring them in from Life Bible.

Snap the sermon slide
Photograph the slide at church and Scripture Alone starts your note: titled, linked to every passage on the slide, its points ready to fill in. The photo is read on your device, never uploaded.

Listen
Hear any chapter read aloud with your phone's voices, the spoken verse marked as it goes — screen off, from the lock screen or headset, with a sleep timer.

Study mode, a toggle away
Ranked cross-references, commentary from Calvin, Gill and Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, the Hebrew and Greek word by word with a lexicon, and Context for every chapter: an overview, a map of the places it names, its era on a timeline, and charts of the kings, Paul's journeys, the tribes and the feasts.

Share beautifully
Design a verse image from eight templates, or share a link that rebuilds it in any browser — nothing is stored on a server.

On your wrist and home screen
Verse of the Day and Favorites & Notes widgets, and a Wear OS app with a tile and a complication that reads offline and carries your imported translations, highlights, favorites and notes, in the accent color you chose on your phone.

A Bible to hand down
Make a Keepsake Bible: a file of your highlights and notes, with a dedication, that your family can open and read as you marked it — a digital "Dad's Bible". Keepsakes open on Android and iPhone alike.

Private by design
Your highlights, notes and favorites stay on your device. No server, no account, and the developer never sees your data. Scripture Alone is open source under the AGPL, so anyone can read exactly what it does.

Built to help people study God's word and grow closer to Christ.
