No account, no email, no profile. Bible365 stores your reading progress locally and can sync through Apple's iCloud services across your own devices.

An ancient monastic practice for reading scripture contemplatively in four movements: Read, Reflect, Pray, Rest. Bible365 builds a guided version into a single tap — slow pacing, ambient music, one verse at a time.

Absolutely. Notifications are opt-in; if you turn them on, your daily reminder is the actual verse for today's reading (not a generic quote). You can also use the home-screen widget to surface today's verse without any push at all.

Yes. We bundle two Catholic translations — Douay-Rheims (Challoner 1899) and the Catholic Public Domain Version — alongside KJV and the others. Use whatever translation suits your tradition; the reading plan, audio, and memorization all work the same.

Start your Bible year.

One daily assignment. A whole Bible in a year. No leaderboards, no feed — just the next right reading.
