If you have ever attempted, are attempting, or have considered attempting to read ANY PART OF THE BIBLE, EVER, YOU MUST READ THIS POST.
I have something REALLY REALLY REALLY COOL AND EXCITING TO SHARE WITH YOU!!!
YES. IT DESERVES ALL THESE CAPS.
>>>> tldr: CHECK THIS OUT. <<<<
I came across this AMAZING app which lets you “create tailor-made Bible reading plans that fit your life and your schedule.”
It’s beautiful. It’s intuitive. It’s flexible, and here’s the craziest part: it’s FREE.
(How do apps keep doing that? Being free?)
But seriously, I think this is a life-changing resource that will help anyone that is looking to get through any portion of the Bible. All the reading plans I’ve used before are pretty much set in stone once you start. For the disciplined among you, that’s great, but for people like me who sometimes miss days (or weeks…) or get discouraged when falling behind, this is a wonderful solution. First of all, you can customize the plan on your own kind of timeline:
- Finish after x years, x months, x weeks, or x days
- Finish on a particular date
- Finish by reading x chapters or x verses per session
You can also pick just the section you want (OT, NT, or specific Bible books). You can select which days of the week to read on, and here’s one of my favorite parts: you can adjust the plan EVEN WHEN YOU’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT:
If you fall behind, you can:
– Catch up: Add to the next session all unread passages that are past due
– Shift: Move your reading plan’s end date later
– Spread: Keep your end date the same, but make each remaining session longer
(For you overachievers that move ahead of the plan, there are features to adjust the plan for you, too!)
This is seriously the app you didn’t know you needed. But now you know. You’re welcome.
For the data-driven among you, you will appreciate the stats that this app provides. As you progress in your reading, you easily see details on things like how far along you’ve progressed (and how much is left), how punctual you are about staying on track, and reading time estimates.
These kinds of stats are exactly the kind of thing my engineer husband would appreciate… which totally makes sense, because, get this:
HE MADE THE APP. FOR FUN.
NO JOKE.
Seriously!! He created this entire app by himself from start to finish! I KNOW ISN’T THAT IMPRESSIVE?! I AM SO PROUD OF HIM!!! It not only works better than and looks prettier than many apps that other companies have put out, but the thought and attention to detail are evident throughout and show his passion for reading the Bible.
But I promise even if it weren’t his app, I’d be very excited to share this amazing resource with the world. Because what’s not to love about an amazing, free, well thought-out and beautiful resource that helps people read and know the Bible better??
So, back to my original point: If you have ever attempted, are attempting, or have considered attempting to read ANY PART OF THE BIBLE, EVER, YOU MUST READ THIS POST WILL APPRECIATE THIS APP! It works on all Android devices, and hopefully will be coming to iOS devices soon!
I’m sure you all know how valuable feedback is on a personal project that you’ve put so much of yourself into. This project has been years in the thinking and months in the making, so please share your thoughts in the comments below!

If I hadn’t just started a new Bible in a year cycle I’d totally try it! I’m sure it’s better than the app I’m currently using though.
Ooh nice Amy! That’s impressive with all you have going on!! If you have Android, just check it out anyway :D. It’ll be easy to adjust it to where you’re at in your current reading cycle! (and I’m sure Ben would love more users and would appreciate any feedback!)
Is it going to be available for apple devices too? It looks great. I am looking for a good plan.
Wouldn’t that be great?! I know he’s planning to make it available for Apple devices eventually! I’m afraid it might be a while, though, since we’ve got a baby coming in about a month! We’ll see how much I can spare him ;).
wow!! that’s so great – please make it available to iOS!
Yes! Work in progress! 😀 (Might be a while, though, since we’ve got a baby coming in about a month! We’ll see how much I can spare him ;)).
