Bible Study Planner

Everything is saved inside your browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account, so no company holds a copy of your journal and prayer list. They are not encrypted, though: anyone who can use this device and browser can open them, so keep the device locked. Download a backup regularly (Settings → Data & backup → Back up now) and keep it somewhere as safe as the records themselves.

Yes. Open index.html and it runs fully offline. You can also host the folder on any website and choose “Install app” in Chrome or Edge to get a desktop or phone icon that works offline.

Yes. The layout adapts to phones and tablets with a bottom navigation bar. Each device keeps its own data, so use Back up / Restore to move records between devices.

Go to Settings → Data & backup → Erase records. Every sample record is removed, and so are the sample person’s name, church and small group, so nothing of theirs ends up on your printouts. Your other settings are kept.

No. The app works with books, chapters and verse numbers — reading plans, the Bible map and every reference are built from the structure of the Bible, not its words. Where you want the words of a verse, in the journal or on a memory verse, you type or paste them from your own Bible, in whichever translation you read.

Either. Choose the Protestant list of 66 books or the Catholic list of 73 (with Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach and Baruch, and Daniel in 14 chapters) under Settings → Bible and reading. With the 66 books you can also use the Hebrew Bible order for the Old Testament. The app’s own words make no theological claims; it keeps your plans, notes and prayers.

Nothing turns red. The chapters you missed wait under “From earlier days”, and the plan offers three ways to catch up: a little extra each day for the next week, spreading everything left over the days remaining, or keeping the same pace and finishing a few days later. Each one tells you exactly what it will do before you choose, nothing you have read ever moves, and you can undo it straight after.

Yes. Each plan keeps its own ticks, so a chapter read for your small group’s plan does not count towards your year plan unless you tick it there too. The Bible map and your reading streak count every chapter you have read, from any plan.

The app uses the usual English chapter numbering. A few books — Esther, Joel and Malachi — are divided differently in some Bibles; if yours differs, tick the chapter you read.

Each device keeps its own copy, so there is no live sharing between phones. Print the meeting questions to hand round, and add the group’s prayer requests to your own list.
