Beautiful to read. Deep enough to study for years. Honest about what it is, and what it will never do.
Most Bible apps treat scripture as a feed to fill and a customer to convert. Margin treats it as a page worth reading. No account to make, no ads to skip, no upsell on the verse you came for. Just the text, set with the care a printed Bible deserves, and the tools to go as deep as you want.
A calm serif reading surface with real section headings, poetry set as poetry, and the size and theme set to your eyes.
The tools a serious reader reaches for, on device, without a subscription.
Highlight in six colors, write as long a note as you like, bookmark a favorite, and share a verse as a quiet image.
Turn any verse into a clean, typographic card and send it anywhere. No loud graphics, no stock photos, just the words set with care.
Find passages by theme, or ask about the chapter you have open. Every verse it shows is rendered from your Bible, never written by the model. It cites book and verse, admits what it does not know, and never claims to speak for God. This is the honest version of the AI everyone else is selling, kept in its own small subscription so the reading stays free.
Margin is written for iOS, not ported to it. That means the small things feel right and the platform features are actually there.
A verse of the day on your home and lock screen, tap to open it.
Add "Continue reading" or "Verse of the day" to your Shortcuts and morning routine.
Listen to a chapter on the drive, with the controls where you expect them.
Buy Pro once and share it with your family, at no extra cost.
Your highlights and notes follow you to every device, with no account.
Set the text as large as you need. Made to be read for years.
A premium app should be trustworthy first. These are the lines we will not cross.
Reading the whole Bible costs nothing and always will. The deeper tools are a single purchase you own forever. The assistant, which carries a real cost every time you use it, is its own small subscription so nobody pays for it who does not want it.
Three translations, reading themes, highlights, notes, bookmarks, the daily verse widget, a gentle reminder, and iCloud sync with no account.
Word study, concordance search, cross references, parallel translations, commentaries, reading plans, verse images, and audio. Bought once, shared with your family.
Find passages by theme and ask about the open chapter. Scripture always shown from your Bible. Cancel anytime.
No. Margin has no accounts and never will. Your reading position, highlights, and notes stay on your device and sync through your own private iCloud, which we cannot see.
Yes. We have no server that holds your reading data. There are no ads, no trackers, and nothing to sell. If you use the AI assistant, only the question you type is sent, with no name or account attached.
Three public-domain translations are bundled and work offline: the Berean Standard Bible, the World English Bible, and the King James Version. More translations may be offered later where licensing allows.
Never. Reading and the study tools work completely without it. The assistant is a separate, optional subscription, and it points you to scripture rather than speaking for it.
Real human narration of the public-domain text, with background playback, adjustable speed, a sleep timer, and CarPlay. Margin will never use a synthetic voice to read scripture.
Pro is a one-time purchase with Family Sharing, so buying it once covers your family at no extra cost.
Margin is coming to iPhone. Reading is free, forever.
Coming soon on theApp Store
