Folio — Read the Bible with the manuscripts behind it
Most Bible apps give you the text. Folio gives you the text and the evidence for it.
Every verse shows how many ancient manuscripts preserve it. Tap once and you can see the actual pages that carried Scripture through the centuries. Whether you’re reading devotionally, studying deeply, or asking hard questions about what’s true, Folio is built to go further than any Bible app you’ve used.
Read, beautifully
A clean, distraction-free reader designed for immersion. Highlight the verses that speak to you, pick up exactly where you left off, and stay focused on the Word.
See the manuscripts
Tap any verse to view the manuscripts that attest it, ordered from oldest to newest. Compare the critical text against how a specific manuscript — like Codex Sinaiticus — actually reads it.
Study the original languages
Move word by word through the Hebrew Old Testament. Every word links to its Strong’s number, parsing, and definition, with classic lexicons ready for deeper study.
Make it yours
Add notes to any verse, organize them with reusable labels, and search everything you’ve written. Your study stays with you and stays in sync.
Build Bible Studies
Create focused studies by gathering verses, notes, and labels into one place. Invite contributors to collaborate with you, or share a study publicly in read-only format so others can learn from it.
See the connections
Scripture interprets Scripture. Discover how each verse relates to others across the whole of the Bible.
Know what you believe
Explore the core doctrines of the Christian faith, clearly laid out so you understand not just what you believe, but why.
Test the competing claims
Read other religious texts — including the Book of Mormon and the Qur’an — side by side with Scripture. When a claim is made, Folio pairs it with a clear biblical response so you can weigh the evidence for yourself.
Free, with no catch
Folio is completely free. Optional support helps cover development and hosting — nothing is locked behind a paywall.
Read Scripture. See the evidence. Know what you believe.
