About the app
Everything you need to know about Bible Tiles: Draw & Type Notes.
Description
Your Bible, Reimagined.
Do you love the feel of your physical Bible but wish for the convenience of digital? Bible Tiles was born from a passion to bridge that gap – created out of frustration with clunky interfaces and a desire for a truly intuitive, personal, and powerful Bible study experience on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Finally, Digital Notes That Feel Natural:
Bible Tiles revolutionizes digital Bible note-taking. We believe annotating scripture should feel fluid and personal, not frustrating.
Write, Draw, Highlight Freely: Use multiple pen styles and a full color palette just like you would on paper.
The Power of the Lasso: The Lasso tool lets you intuitively select, move, group, or delete anything on the page – handwritten notes, highlights, even typed text – with a simple gesture.
Typed Notes & Scribble: Prefer typing? Add typed notes anywhere. iPad users can use Apple Pencil Scribble to convert handwriting to text instantly in any text field.
Effortless Editing: Made a mistake? A simple two-finger tap undoes your last action.
Immersive Reading & Powerful Study:
Dive deeper into the Word with tools designed for focus and understanding.
Clean & Customizable: Read clearly with adjustable fonts, dynamic text size support, and the option to hide verse numbers. Choose between light and dark modes for comfort.
Zoom & Split Screen: Pinch to zoom for a closer look. Use Split Screen to compare translations side-by-side or view your notes alongside the text.
Extensive Library: Access 40+ Bible translations (and growing!), with the ability to download and use multiple versions simultaneously.
Red Letter Text: Easily identify the words of Christ in the New Testament.
Offline Access: Your Bible, notes, and bookmarks are always available, even without an internet connection. Study anywhere, anytime.

100% Free, Forever: Bible Tiles is, and always will be, completely free. No ads, no subscriptions, no features hidden behind paywalls.
