Manna: Bible Reading Plan
Read Together. Grow Daily.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Manna is a grace filled Bible reading plan designed for depth, consistency, and community.
If you believe daily Scripture matters but you are tired of streaks, guilt, or falling behind, Manna was built for you.
--Serious Bible Reading. No Scoreboard.--
Follow structured reading plans like the Grant Horner Bible Reading System or other immersive Bible reading rhythms.
Track multiple reading lists
Pick up where you left off
Never lose your place
No streaks
No pressure
No shame
Life happens. You are always welcomed back.
--Read Together in Manna Circles--
Scripture was never meant to isolate you.
Create or join a Circle and:
Share one sentence about what stood out
Pray for one another
Send audio reflections
Encourage daily obedience
Grow deeper friendships centered on the Word
Not social media.
Not performance.
Just daily gathering.
Like Israel in the wilderness, family by family, receiving what God provides each morning.
--Built for Long Term Formation--
Manna is not about finishing fast.
It is about finishing faithful.
Whether you are reading alone or inviting friends into a Circle, Manna helps you:
- Build a sustainable daily rhythm
- Grow in obedience, not comparison
- Stay rooted in Scripture
- Multiply discipleship through community
You can read alone.
But you do not have to.
Download Manna and start gathering daily bread.
more The Manna app is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for FOR YEARS. There are other apps that can track Professor Horner’s Bible Reading System, but ONLY Manna allows customization of the lists AND is perpetual…the readings NEVER reset back to Day 1. I can follow the system from now until the Lord returns and NEVER read the same 10 chapters together twice! And the UI is so logical and simple. Thank you, Lord, and thank you, Blake!

The Manna Bible reading app is an amazing resource for reading the Bible. There are so many ways to customize it to fit your needs. And the best part about it is that if you miss reading for a day, there’s no guilt only grace! You just pick up reading where you left off the next day. There are so many other cool features to check out too!

Bug Fixes and Improvements.
1.2.8 6d ago
Audio fixes and more...
Add a Quick FAB toggle to allow the floating action button to immediately open the plan, instead of offer Your Rhythm, Something New, Something Random.
New Floating Actions and Heat Map - the goal of Manna is to never feel behind. To always be welcomed back to scripture so I’ve introduced a new way to read on Manna. JUST READ. Open the app and use the new floating actions to read Your Rhythm, Something New or Something Random. Those last two options are based on your new heat map. Open up the Bible navigation at the top and as you read you’ll see the app track your reading. It tracks reading done anywhere in app (hopefully) and the map of the chapters view will change if you read something more often or less often.
Word Changes in Quick Compare: You can see the exact differences of the translations highlighted in blue in Quick Compare.
CONTINUOUS SCROLL MODE - I’m excited to announce this mode. When turned on in the More tab, you can scroll up or down infinitely. You have to test this for me. It’s beautiful. Complete with beautiful chapter dividers.
Added a Send Feedback button in the more tab for those not on mobile to shake for feedback.
A lot more fixes and changes to Onboarding, UX/UI, etc.

1.0.7 Mar 27
Reworked the plan bar for simplicity:
- You can tap on the list location to expand back into the plan dashboard.
- Plans are now truly grace filled and guilt free. Read until you feel done and feel you have heard from the Lord, then just hit pause. The app will keep your place. This is even true for the Horner/Paths plan. If you are a strict 10 chapter a day, just pause when the app brings you back to List 1 or simply keep on reading.
- The ability to change chapters instead of lists is available now through the swipe toggle. Its default is “Swipe: Lists” just tap it if you need to change the chapter and it will change to “Swipe: Chapters”
- The same is true in the other plans but with some modifications. But the concept is the same.
Reworked the Selection Toolbar for simplicity:
- Now it only shows your top 3 highlighters with a palette button to choose the others.
NEW QUICK NOTES:
- Quick notes help you see your notes fast. Verses that have notes will be indicated by an orange circle in the verse number. When that is tapped it will open quick notes.
- Reworked the composer to match the quick notes vibe.
NEW Search Functionality:
- You can now easily search the Bible with the new search button at the top. Don’t worry all your recent history is still there as well.
NEW Onboarding Sequence:
- Invite some friends so they can check it out.
NEW Group Chats in Circles:
- Circle owners can create group chats in circles please test. Use case could be sub groups inside circles.
Other bug and UX/UI Improvements

NEW:
- Brand new design for your reading. The app now opens in the Bible reader itself, and your plan is always accessible in the bottom left floating action button. There is a toggle to revert back to the old dashboard look for your reading plans if you prefer it better.
- Quick Compare: when selecting a verse. Allows you to compare multiple translations.
- Circles Tables. Live experiences to discuss scripture complete with a mini Bible and Chat. Think Zoom or Google Meet, but free for you to use for your small groups or communities in circles. They can be recorded and scheduled as well.
- Words of Christ settings in more to toggle between off, Red letter, or NEW blue letter.
- READ HISTORY - I've added your chapter read history in the bible reader so you can quickly go back if need be.
- Partial Highlights (called Excerpts in the Library) allow you to highlight....well anything. You can still highlight complete verses as before, but now you could tap and hold to select words or phrases to highlight them.
- Added a progress ring around the play button so you can see your listening progress.
- DROP CAPS! This one is inspired and created by John Mark Carter and is a setting you can turn on to get beautifully designed drop caps at the start of each chapter. (This might be my favorite addition...well one of them lol!)
- SOCIAL SHARE IMAGES! This one is also inspired and created by John Mark Carter (you're opinions matter guys!) and generates a social share image you can use to send to friends or post on social media. Each one includes the beautiful drop caps too!
1.0.5 Mar 14
