One record, honestly kept
Everything about your reading. Nothing to feel bad about.
BibleRing keeps one thing: which chapters you have read, and when. Every number in the app comes from that record — the ring, the pace, tomorrow’s reading, the seals — so it never disagrees with itself, and it never has an opinion about the days in between.
Logging
One tap, and the day is kept.
Today’s reading is waiting on Home. Tap a chapter, or the whole day, and a sheet confirms it — then shows you what that reading changed. Nothing in the app records a chapter behind your back.
Confirm, then see what it changed.
Every reading ends on a summary. The book’s bar moving, the whole-Bible ring, the run, a seal if one was earned, and the next chapter — so the tap that means “I read that” always shows you what it meant.
The next chapter is the next cell.
A book is a strip of its chapters. Today’s are ringed, the rest are a tap away, and any book in the canon is one search off. Read ahead, read behind, or read something else entirely.
A record, not a to-do list.
The Journey runs like a calendar: the days you read above, today, the plan’s next fortnight below. A line opens the passage — its date, a note per chapter, and the quiet way to take it back off. Nothing on it is a checkbox.
Progress
The whole Bible, at a glance.
One ring, eight colours. Every division of the canon owns a hue — the Law is clay, the Gospels are blue — so the ring is a map of where you have been, and its length is exactly the percentage inside it.
809 of 1,189. Forty-five books closed.
Progress is the axis of the book. The ring, the two testaments, the ground covered and every book of your canon under its division — the whole record on one screen, and a search for anyone typing “1 Cor”.
- Law
- History
- Wisdom
- Prophets
- Gospels
- Acts
- Epistles
- Revelation
Where you’ve been, and where you haven’t.
A bar per division. The thinnest one is named, with the chapters still unopened there — so the Prophets stop being the part you keep meaning to get to.
A book is a map, not a checklist.
One bar per chapter. Open a book and its chapters are a grid — territory covered rather than boxes waiting to be ticked — with a landmark that says what the book is about, and the chapters left.
Pace
A pace, not a deadline.
The app watches what you actually read over the last four weeks and tells you, plainly, where that leads: finished in about four months, say, and the month it lands in. It moves as you move. It is never a countdown.
Finished in about four months.
A projection from your own last 28 days, carried forward over the chapters left in your canon. The curve is every chapter’s first reading, so a chapter read three times moves the line once — and an import moves it on the day it landed.
Week by week, in the canon’s colours.
Bars by division. A quarter at a glance says where the reading has gone — “mostly Wisdom and History” — rather than how much of it there was.
One quiet day a week never breaks the run.
The run counts the days you came back. Miss one and it holds; a full week of reading earns the grace back. The morning after a quiet day it stands, rather than breaking and unbreaking inside a single day.
Widgets & reminders
On your Lock Screen, before you open the app.
Up next, the ring and the run on the Lock Screen and the Home Screen. Two Control Center buttons. And one reminder a day that names the passage you are up to — and, when there is something to say, what that reading does.
A tap opens the sheet. It does not log.
Every widget, button and reminder lands on the same sheet with the passage already selected. The Lock Screen is not a back door around a decision that should be yours to make.
It learns your hour.
The reminder arrives half an hour before you tend to read, worked out from when you actually pick the app up — or at a time you choose. It is never sent on a day you have already read, and it never mentions a streak.
Four widgets, still true tomorrow.
Widgets read a projection the app writes; they never compute and never guess. Once the date turns, the day-shaped numbers step aside and “Up next” stays, because that one is true whatever the date is.
Seals
Small seals for real milestones.
Twenty-two of them, and every one is a fact about the record: the Pentateuch, the four Gospels, every letter Paul wrote, the Twelve nobody finishes, a whole book in one sitting, Obadiah.
A seal follows the record. Earned by a mistaken tap, it goes when the tap is taken back — so the real reading later is celebrated on its own day, rather than never. Nothing in the case is a streak you can lose.
- The Twelve
- Every minor prophet, Hosea to Malachi — the stretch most people skip.
- Obadiah
- One chapter, tucked between Amos and Jonah, and easily missed.
- In one sitting
- A whole book read on a single day.
Wrapped
A look back, never a running total.
Every closed month and year gets a recap: the days as a dot calendar, the books as spines on a shelf, the divisions as bars, and where that month left you. Each one is painted in its own three colours and the field behind it drifts.
Share a card and it is rendered at that moment, in that light — no two shares of one month are quite the same picture. Every figure in a recap is the period’s own, so August says the same thing when you open it in March.
Your Bible, your order
Five canons. Four ways through.
Canon is a setting, not an assumption. A Catholic reader finishes at 100%, not at 98% with twenty-six chapters missing from books their church doesn’t carry. Switching never loses a chapter and never exceeds a hundred.
Canons
Genesis through Revelation.
Adds Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch and 1–2 Maccabees, plus the longer Esther and Daniel.
The Catholic books, plus 1–2 Esdras and the Prayer of Manasseh.
The Septuagint’s Old Testament. Adds 3 and 4 Maccabees, and Psalm 151.
Adds Enoch, Jubilees, 4 Baruch and the three Meqabyan.
Plans
Genesis through Revelation, in order.
A little of each testament, most days.
Roughly when each book was composed — Job and Genesis first, John’s letters last.
Read wherever you land. Nothing is scheduled.
Set a finishing date and the app works back to a daily target; set ten minutes a day and it works out the chapters; or set nothing and let it follow what you actually read. The interleaved plan gives every day some of both testaments, so a reader ahead in the Gospels is never handed a month of Samuel.
Appearance
Make it yours.
Seven photographs, plain paper, and a warm brass accent — free, and yours from the first day. Every screen is drawn on the cover you choose, and the cards frost over it.
Everything that touches reading is free. For good.
Every chapter, plan, canon, streak, seal, widget, recap and note — and any export of your own data — costs nothing and never will. The one thing on sale is decoration: Supporter is a single payment that unlocks six painted covers and Minimal, six more accents and a colour of your own, and five app icons. It is framed as what it is — supporting the person who makes the app — and it restores on every device signed in to your Apple Account.
Low-guilt, by design
Things this app will never do.
Most reading apps are built to keep you coming back. This one is built so you can come back after a month away and find the record exactly as you left it, with nothing to make up for.
- Nothing turns red.
Unread is a neutral, always. There is no colour in the app that means you failed.
- No tally of missed days.
Quiet days are summarised, never listed. The app keeps a record of reading, not of absence.
- Never “don’t forget”.
A reminder names the passage and stops. It does not nag, and it never mentions a streak.
- No account.
There is nothing to sign in to. Your record lives on your device, and it can be exported from there.
- No subscription.
Every chapter, plan, widget and number is free, for good. Nothing you can fall behind on.
- Nothing sold to anyone.
No ads, no data brokers. Analytics are anonymous and off until you say otherwise.
