About this app

Libellum is your Bible for every day: calm by design, free, without ads and without an account.

VERSE OF THE DAY
• A Bible verse every morning as a notification, at the time you choose
• On Christian holidays such as Easter, Pentecost or Christmas, a fitting verse

READ
• A calm reading view, light or dark, in your font size
• Swipe to turn the page, or switch to a reading mode like an e-book
• Listen as the Bible is read aloud and follow verse by verse, even with the screen locked
• Tap a verse for bookmarks, collections, cross-references, comparison and sharing

COLLECT & REMEMBER
• Bookmarks with your own title and note
• Your own collections such as “Hope” or “Prayer”, with icon and colour
• Collected verses are highlighted while you read
• Save whole passages (e.g. Luke 6:27–38) to keep the context
• Backup to a file to take everything to a new phone

SEARCH & COMPARE
• Find words, phrases or references like “John 3:16” in all your Bibles
• Narrow the search to one book or testament
• Translations side by side: one verse in all your Bibles, or two Bibles chapter by chapter through the whole Bible
• Over 360,000 cross-references from the “Treasury of Scripture Knowledge”, drawn as arcs across the whole Bible: see where a chapter leads

VERSES BY TOPIC
• Hand-picked verses for occasions like weddings, baptisms, confirmations, birthdays or funerals
• For life situations like illness, grief, fear or worry, and for comfort, hope, thankfulness and blessing
• Just search for “wedding”, share a verse as an image for a card, or save a whole topic as a collection

MEMORIZE VERSES

WHY “LIBELLUM”?
Libellum is Latin for “little book”. That is what the Latin Bible calls the little open book in Revelation 10:2, which is “sweet as honey”. That is what this app wants to be: a little open book you always have with you.

Libellum is free. If you would like to give something, the app shows charities for persecuted Christians in your country.
