Black and White Bible

Matt Nordberg

About this app

Black and White Bible is a distraction-free Bible app built around one idea: reading. No feeds, no badges, no clutter. Just Scripture, laid out like a real book, and it works offline.

A BIBLE THAT READS LIKE A BOOK
The text is paginated into clean, paper-like pages instead of one endless scroll. Tap the right edge to turn forward, the left edge to turn back, and the center to show the controls. No jumpy scrolling, no losing your line mid-verse.

THE COMPLETE NET BIBLE
The full text is included, Genesis to Revelation. The NET Bible is a modern English translation known for its accuracy and readability. Download it once and read anywhere (on a plane, in a basement, or with your phone in airplane mode). No account, no sign-up, no connection required.

FIND ANY VERSE IN SECONDS
Search the whole Bible by word or phrase, or type a reference like "John 3:16" or "Rom 8" to jump straight there. You can also tap the reference at the top of the page to browse to any book, chapter, or verse.

TYPOGRAPHY YOU CAN TUNE
Choose your font size and a serif or sans-serif typeface. Show verse numbers or hide them for uninterrupted reading. Pick light mode, dark mode, or let the app follow your device. Comfortable for morning reading and for reading in bed at night.

COPY AND SHARE SCRIPTURE
Long-press a verse to select it, extend the selection across verses and chapters, then copy it or share it anywhere with the reference attached.

YOUR PLACE IS ALWAYS KEPT
Your reading position saves automatically, so the app opens exactly where you stopped, even after you close it or change your text settings.
