Pencil Bible: Journal & Study

Since 2022. The Bible you can write in.
--
Pencil Bible turns Scripture into a canvas. Highlight verses, sketch in the margins, journal your reflections, and let every reading become part of your story — all with the natural feel of Apple Pencil.

Unlike iPad-only journaling apps, Pencil Bible works seamlessly on both iPhone and iPad — annotate on your tablet at home, then pick up right where you left off on your phone. Your Bible study goes everywhere you do.

Whether you're deep in study, journaling a quiet morning, or capturing a sermon note in the pew, Pencil Bible is built for how you actually meet with God.
