Annotate, Highlight & Reflect

Features & Capabilities

Pencil Bible turns Scripture into a personal canvas. Annotate, highlight, and sketch directly on verses using Apple Pencil, PencilKit, and touch, with left-hand mode and customizable layouts for your study flow. It supports multiple translations (ESV, NIV, NLT, CSB, and more) and works seamlessly on iPad and iPhone, with dark mode for late-night devotionals.

Read for free and annotate up to 10 pages, then upgrade for unlimited journaling. This is more than an app—it's a daily sanctuary and digital journal to meet with God, customize fonts and backgrounds, and capture sermons and reflections. Annotations are available without a subscription on iPhone; Apple Pencil features require a compatible iPad.

Just started using it and really enjoying it. Only struggle I have is it from time to time is picking up my hand resting on the iPad screen while writing with the Apple Pencil Pro. Hope that is something that can be addressed at some point but definitely not a deal breaker by any means. Edit: I changed a setting on my iPad to only use the Pencil for drawing and that seems to resolve my issue.

I LOVE this concept. I love that rather than my usual chaotic system for church involving my Bible, iPad, Apple Pencil and regular pens, I can just take my iPad. This merges all of that into one. However, I really value having red lettered text for the words of Jesus. Love the concept, but only a 4 star for me, until there is red lettered text! :)

This is my favorite Bible App I have tried. I love being able to choose the version/s I like (currently CSB & ESV), customizable margins (for your note taking style) and the toolbar that allow you to not just highlight in different colors and shades but also write/draw notes in colors with pen and marker options with different thicknesses. If you goof you can erase, if you want to add something at any point you can go back and add notes. I have zero interest in physical books because for me, a squirrel chasing ADHD adult, they don’t hold my attention. But using thing app during church services, Bible studies or just free time or alone time with God, I actually stay focused and don’t get frustrated missing something. I bought a universal touchscreen pen that works on any touchscreen (Apple Pencil won’t on iPhones) and bring it with me everywhere. We all have phones with us all the time, so why not have the Bible on it and be able to not only read Gods word but actually engage in a fun way any time anywhere?!!!!
