The Word Live, on your home screen
A first-person story from Scripture every day: free, calm, and yours. Add it in one tap, with no App Store, no download and no account needed.
What the app’s like
A familiar feed, pointed the right way. Short posts, newest first, like the apps you already use. The difference is what’s in it: the Bible’s stories, told by the people who lived them.
Scripture one tap away. Every story cites its passage. Tap the reference to read the verses right there.
No comments, ever. Like, save or share a story. Nobody can reply, argue or keep score.
Make it yours. Hide posts you’d rather not see, find past stories with search, and keep the ones you love in Saved.
Ask about it. Tap Ask on any post to talk it through with Ask BibleAI: what it means, where it sits in Scripture, or how it connects to your life. The conversation is private to you and disappears when you close it.
Keep a streak. Sign in and the app counts the days you’ve visited in a row.
One gentle reminder, only if you want it. Turn on a single morning notification for when the new story is published, or leave it off. Nothing else will ping you.
Make it feel like home. Five looks: the default, plus Facebook, Instagram, X and TikTok themes. You get the familiar feel without the noise.
Works offline. Takes up almost no space. It’s a web app, so there’s no big download, and stories you’ve already loaded are still there without a signal.
Free, and always will be. No ads. No subscription. No begging for donations or money. No “premium” tier, no upsell — not now, not ever. The Word Live costs nothing and never will.
