Tota Scriptura Bible Community

Read the Bible together

A free Bible study app: a reader built for reading, notes that stay tied to the verse they are about, and conversations with people who are reading the same passage. On Android and in any browser, with iPhone coming soon — no ads, no fees.

Get it on Google Play Open in browser iPhone: on the App Store soon. In the phone app, every translation reads offline.

Tota Scriptura — “Scripture wholly”, every part of the Bible equally inspired. It is the companion to sola Scriptura: one prevents adding to the canon, the other prevents subtracting from it.

Read

A chapter, and nothing else

Verse numbers small and out of the way, the text at a size you choose, and the next chapter one tap away at the bottom where your thumb already is. No cards, no feed, no daily streak.

Every translation reads offline. They are stored on the device rather than fetched a chapter at a time, so reading works on a train, on a plane, or in a building with no signal. The American Standard Version is already there on a fresh install — no account, no sign-up, nothing to download first.

The menu on a verse: check other versions, add note, edit bookmark, view notes, share verse, notify me of replies, public discussion.

Any verse

Everything from the verse itself

Hold a verse and the whole app is there: read it in another translation side by side, write a note, bookmark it, share it, ask to be told when somebody replies, or open it for discussion.

One menu, in one place, rather than six features scattered across six screens.

Notes

Kept where you left them

Every note carries the verse it belongs to and a link straight back into the chapter, so a thought from six months ago is still attached to the thing it was about.

Sorted in Bible order or by when you wrote them. Private to you — nothing here is shared unless you post it somewhere that is. Bookmarks and sermon notes work the same way.

A discussion titled “What does it mean to abide”, with replies from Ruth and Hannah.

Together

A conversation about a passage

Topics are open to anyone and start from a verse, so a discussion is always about something specific rather than about everything at once.

Study groups are closed, for a group that already meets — somewhere to carry the conversation on until the next time you gather, rather than a public forum nobody wants to think aloud in.

Translations

More than one, side by side

Download the translations you want and compare a verse across them without leaving the chapter. Each one says how large it is before you start, and asks first if you are on mobile data — a Bible is tens of megabytes, which is worth being asked about.

Downloaded once, they stay on the device and read with no connection at all, the same as the built-in one. Nothing is streamed.

What it does not do

  • No advertising. None, and no third-party sponsorship in posts or profiles.
  • No reading tracked. There is no record of which scripture you read or when. Deliberately: the number would be interesting and it is not worth having.
  • No streaks, no badges. Nothing that turns reading into a score to protect.
  • No selling anything about you. Read the privacy policy — it is short.
