Bible reader

Read a chapter. Your notes are already there.

Harvous isn't just where you write about Scripture — it's also where you read it. Expand the scripture dock into the full reader, and see what you've already noted or highlighted, right in the margin.

Expand the dock, or start from the canon

Already have a scripture pill or passage open in a note? Expand that dock into the full reader without losing your place. Or start fresh — pick a book and chapter from a simple grid, or type a reference like you would in a note. Either way opens the passage full-screen, in 11 translations, cached for reading without a connection.

Your account remembers where you left off, so opening the reader picks up the same chapter next time.

See your notes in the margin. Tap to jump back in.

The left margin shows every note that covers a verse on the page — tap one to jump straight back into it, no searching required.

Highlight a phrase while you're reading and it's the same highlight you'd make from a note — nothing separate to lose track of. Select a name or term for its dictionary entry without leaving the page.

Start a note from what you're reading

See something worth writing down mid-chapter? Start a note straight from the reader — it's the same note you'd write anywhere else in Harvous, just started from the page instead of the sidebar.

Picks up where you left off
Your account remembers the chapter you were reading, on any device.
Shared highlights
Highlight while reading and it's the same highlight layer as your notes — nothing to reconcile later.
Margin notes, one tap away
