New: gather passages into a study and export it as PDF or Word. Read in five languages, hear chapters aloud, and write in the margin.
Scriptly is a Bible you can write in.
Read it in your own language, hear it read aloud, and keep what you think beside the verse that prompted it — written by hand with Apple Pencil, or typed. No account, no ads, nothing to buy.
READ
• English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish and Thai, with several translations in each.
• Flowing text at whatever size reads easily, or a real page — ruled, squared, dotted or blank — with a margin wide enough to think in.
• Ask in your own words: “where does Jesus talk about worry” finds the passage.
LISTEN
• Chapters read aloud in English and Chinese, and the Thai New Testament, with a choice of readers.
• On recordings with verse timings, the page follows the voice.
• It keeps playing while you read on, or with the screen locked.
STUDY
• Tap a word to see the Greek or Hebrew behind it, its dictionary entry, and its grammar in plain words.
• Find every other place that word appears — or only that exact form.
• Cross-references on every verse, and study notes on the history and customs the first readers knew.
• Gather verses, notes and word studies into a study, then print it as a PDF or export it to Word.
EVERY MORNING
• My Utmost for His Highest and Daily Light on the Daily Path, with a page to answer them on.
• Short reading plans you can actually finish. None of them start in Genesis.
KEEP WHAT YOU THINK
• Pen, highlighter and eraser in your own colours. Circle a stroke and scribble over it to erase.
• Highlight a verse or type a note, tag it, and find it again in a notes list arranged by book.
YOURS, AND PRIVATE
• No account needed, and no ads.
• Everything you mark, type or write follows you between your iPhone and iPad through your own private iCloud, in a container we can neither see nor reach. Sign in with Google too, and it is kept in your Google Drive as well.
• Anonymous counts of chapters opened — never the text, never your handwriting, never who you are — feed the “Around the world” screen, and can be turned off in Settings.
On iPhone and iPad. Apple Pencil is a pleasure, not a requirement.

Tell a friend about Scriptly from Settings.
Fixed: settings lost on sync, plan reminders that never arrived, and the page following the reading in the flowing reader.
