Read it, mark it,come back to it
The sentence that stops you. The thought you want to keep. The connection worth following, and the way back to it later.
Color highlighting
Mark a verse the moment it lands. Assign colors your own way — themes, questions, promises, whatever system you already read by.
Notes on the verse
Write your thoughts right next to the passage that prompted them. No second app to remember.
Search everything
Find a reference, a phrase, or a half-remembered line across the canon and the Apocrypha at once.
Reading plans
Pick a pace and keep it. Daily chapters, a visible streak, and a plan that waits for you instead of nagging.
Eighteen books most Bibles leave out
Read for two thousand years, canonical in much of the church, and missing from the Bible most of us grew up with. Twelve to start with.
1 Enoch
Fallen angels, giants, and a guided tour of heaven.
Judith
A widow walks into an enemy camp and leaves with the general's head.
1 Maccabees
The revolt behind Hanukkah, told as straight history.
2 Maccabees
The same revolt, retold with martyrs and miracles.
Tobit
A blind father, a long road, and an angel traveling undercover.
Sirach
Proverbs-style wisdom, twice as long and twice as blunt.
Wisdom of Solomon
Greek philosophy meets Hebrew faith on the immortal soul.
Baruch
Exile, confession, and a hymn to wisdom from Jeremiah's scribe.
Jubilees
Genesis retold on a calendar of sevens.
Susanna
Two elders, a false accusation, and a young Daniel who cross-examines.
Bel and the Dragon
Daniel turns detective on a temple full of priests.
1 Esdras
The return from exile, plus a debate on what's strongest in the world.
Plus the rest of the Apocrypha and all sixty-six canonical books — one library, one search, clearly labelled throughout.

No one decides your canon
The apocryphal books are clearly labelled and included as texts to read and weigh. What they mean to you is yours to settle.
Public-domain translations
The beta covers the canon and the Apocrypha with public-domain translations. More are being added as licensing allows.
Still being built
It is ready to read, highlight, and write in today, and you may still meet a rough edge. Tell us when you do — that is what a beta is for.
Before youstart reading
A collection of Jewish and early Christian writings that sit outside the 66-book Protestant canon. Catholic and Orthodox traditions include many of them as scripture. Tobit, Judith, Sirach, 1 and 2 Maccabees — they have been read for centuries.
Bible Trove puts them alongside the rest of the library, clearly labeled, so you can read them for yourself.
