Holy Bible: Offline KJV & Kids

Octey Apps

About this app

The whole Bible, always available — even in airplane mode.

Holy Bible is a fast, quiet, offline-first Bible reader. Every translation is
built into the app itself — nothing is ever downloaded. It never needs the
internet, at all. There are no ads, no account to create, no sign-in, and
nothing is collected about you or sent anywhere.

FIVE PUBLIC-DOMAIN TRANSLATIONS
• KJV — King James Version
• KJVA — King James Version with the Apocrypha
• WEB — World English Bible
• ASV — American Standard Version
• BSB — Berean Standard Bible

The app opens ready to read in the King James Version. Want another? Switch it
on in Settings and it's ready in seconds. Switch it off and it's removed again.
Only the versions you actually read take up room, so the app stays quick and
the version picker stays uncluttered.

BUILT FOR ACTUAL READING
• A clean chapter view with no clutter between you and the text
• Choose your reading face: Literata, Lora, EB Garamond, Comic Neue, or your
system serif, sans, casual, or monospace
• Reading size slider from 0.6x to 2.2x — genuinely large type if you need it
• Verse-per-line or flowing paragraph layout, whichever you prefer
• Warm paper palette by day, easy dark theme by night, following your system

MARK IT UP AND KEEP IT
• Highlight verses in four colors
• Attach a note to a verse or a whole range of verses
• Bookmark where you are
• Select several verses at once and note them together
• Your highlights and notes are tied to the verse itself, so they follow you
when you switch translations

FIND ANY VERSE FAST
• Full-text search across the whole Bible with instant prefix matching —
start typing and results appear as you go
• Tap a result to jump straight to it in context
• Browse by book and chapter with a simple grid

A REAL KIDS MODE
Not an afterthought. Kids mode has its own home with 24 illustrated-in-words
Bible stories spanning both testaments — Creation, Noah's Ark, Baby Moses,
David and Goliath, Daniel in the Lions' Den, the Birth of Jesus, the Good
Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, the Resurrection, and more. Each one opens the
real passage in the reader, so children move naturally from the story to
Scripture itself.

There are also three games:
• Bible Trivia — friendly multiple-choice questions
• Noah's Ark — a matching game
• Fill in the Blank — complete the verse

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
This app does not request the internet permission at all. That is not a promise
in a policy document, it is a property of the app: it has no ability to send
your reading, notes, or highlights anywhere, because it cannot open a network
connection. Even switching on another translation works offline — the text is
already inside the app. Everything lives in your device's local storage and
disappears if you uninstall.

• No ads
