Nota Scriptura: Sermon Notes

Bible study notes, verse-aware

Free

One app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, kept in sync through your own iCloud. Nota Scriptura is a notes app for sermons and Bible study that understands Scripture. Type a reference like "Romans 8:28" or "1 Cor 13:4-7" anywhere in your notes and it's recognized as you write — turned blue, tied to that passage, and one tap away from the verse text. There's nothing to set up: the complete World English Bible is built into the app, so verse text is there immediately, even offline. YOUR OWN COMMENTARY Mark any paragraph as a verse note and it joins your personal commentary — every insight you've ever written, gathered from every note and arranged in biblical order. Jump to any book and chapter, search it, and tap any entry to go back to the sermon it came from. Export the whole thing, a single book, or your search results as rich text. JUST WRITE • Bold, italic, underline, headings • Track the speaker and date for each sermon • Recognizes single verses, ranges, cross-chapter ranges and lists ("Rom 1:1,3,5"), and optionally whole chapters • Optionally expands abbreviations to full book names as you type STUDY PANEL Tap a reference to open the passage beside your notes — side by side on iPad and Mac, and as a slide-up panel on iPhone — along with the other notes you've written on those verses. FIND ANYTHING Search understands the Bible: search "Genesis" to find every note that touches it, or "John 3:16" to find notes on that verse — including notes that cover it within a range. SAFE AND IN SYNC • Notes sync through your own private iCloud Drive across iPhone, iPad and Mac • Version history keeps recent versions of each note, so you can restore any of them • Back up and restore your whole library • Share notes as rich text or PDF, or send them to another Nota Scriptura user PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Nota Scriptura collects nothing — your notes live on your device and in your own iCloud, and the developer never sees them.

Bug fixes and small improvements: • The Bible tab keeps your place when you switch tabs or come back to a note • The Commentary header names the chapter you chose • Mac: opening several notes in a row no longer makes the window flicker • Notes are better protected when renaming files or opening a note from a newer version of the app • A short new demo of verse notes in the intro tutorial
