About this app

Your Bible, made personal.

Pencil Bible turns Scripture into a canvas. Highlight verses, sketch in the margins, journal your reflections, and let every reading become part of your story — all with the natural feel of a stylus.

Unlike iPad-only journaling apps, Pencil Bible works seamlessly on both iPhone and iPad — annotate on your tablet at home, then pick up right where you left off on your phone. Your Bible study goes everywhere you do.

Whether you're deep in study, journaling a quiet morning, or capturing a sermon note in the pew, Pencil Bible is built for how you actually meet with God.

14 translations free, forever:
Read NLT, NASB, AMP, TPT, KJV, ASV, WEB, OJB, WMB, DRA, LBLA, NBLA, RV1909, and NBV — completely free, with no paywall on God's Word. Premium translations, including ESV, NIV, CSB, and NVI, are also available.
