When You Study App

Features

Do you study the Bible as much as you should? I don't. This app helps you log and track your Bible study sessions, scan study-book pages for Scripture references, and build a quiet habit of getting into God's word.

Offline by default. The KJV is bundled — no network needed for verse lookups. (The optional "Look up online" button for book covers/metadata is the only network call.)

...accurately handling the word of truth.
-2 Timothy 2:15

Bible Reference Scanner (new in 1.1)

• Point your camera (or pick a photo) at a page of any Bible-study book — Vision-framework OCR runs on-device and finds every Scripture reference: "Eph 5:22-33", "John 3:16", "1 Cor 13", chapter ranges, continuation chains like "; 13:13", and 66-book abbreviations.
• Tap any highlighted reference for a translucent verse popup with the bundled KJV text, prev/next chevrons, and a one-tap copy button.
• Context button expands any verse to show ±2 surrounding verses inline.
• Per-page notes, page-number auto-detection from headers, and a tappable scanned-page gallery with multiple sort modes.

Books (new in 1.1)

• Group scanned pages into a Book with a cover photo.
• Cover OCR auto-fills Title and Author. Tap a button to flip ALL CAPS into smart Title Case (with small-word rules) or fix OCR spelling errors with one tap.
• Look up online queries Google Books (with OpenLibrary fallback) — previews the official cover next to your captured photo so you can decide whether to replace it.
• Attach existing pages, move pages between books, or delete a book with a clear choice (keep pages, delete pages, or move them to another book first).

Study Logging

• Log Bible study sessions with chapters read, Bible references, notes, and up to 3 photos.
• Toggle items for what you accomplished (read alone, used commentary, looked up Hebrew/Greek, etc.). Toggles are randomized so you don't fall into routine.
• History view, filter by duration, calendar view of which days you studied, and statistics with charts.
• Push notifications with KJV Bible verses at customizable intervals.
• Customizable colors and themes; demo mode for screenshots without showing personal notes.

Platforms

• iPhone, iPad, and Mac (via Catalyst on Apple Silicon).
• iCloud sync for scan history and book covers.
• Bundled KJV (SQLite) — verse lookups are entirely offline.
• All features included free.
