Store description excerpt
Arkive is a personal biblical research environment — built for people who want to go deeper than a verse-of-the-day. Most Bible apps stop at the text. Arkive starts there. THE TEXT Beautiful, typography-first reading across five translations — ESV, KJV, NASB, NIV, and NKJV — with full inline formatting: poetry, section headers, red-letter text, and footnotes. Compare translations side by side whenever a passage calls for it. THE WORD Tap any word to reveal the original Hebrew or Greek in place — interlinear text, transliteration, grammatical parsing, and a full Strong's concordance entry. One more tap shows you every other verse sharing that same root, so you can trace a word's meaning across all of Scripture. THE THREAD Build your own research documents: ordered sequences of verses, word studies, and notes around a question or theme. Threads sync via iCloud and work fully offline. Thread Connections visualizes how your own studies relate to each other — and Connections separately renders tens of thousands of cross-references across the whole Bible as one navigable graph. READ TO ME Have any chapter read aloud in the background, with lock screen and Dynamic Island controls, auto-advance into the next chapter, and a verse-by-verse highlight that follows along as you read. ALSO INCLUDED • Full-Bible public-domain commentary (Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary and Jamieson-Fausset-Brown) • Chronicle: a historical timeline and map of biblical events, people, and places • Highlights, bookmarks, and personal notes, synced privately via your own iCloud account • Full-text search across the whole Bible PRIVATE BY DESIGN Arkive collects no personal data, shows no ads, and has no tracking of any kind. Your notes, highlights, and threads sync only through your own private iCloud account — never through our servers, because we do not have any. The Bible text, footnotes, interlinear data, and Strong's concordance are all bundled with the app and work completely offline. Arkive is free. If it's useful to your study, tips are appreciated but never required.
