WrittenWord

WrittenWord is a free Bible study app built for iPad, featuring the complete NASB 1995 text with original-language and annotation study tools — no subscriptions, no ads, no account required. It works completely offline, and your study notes sync across your devices with iCloud. Annotate directly on the page with Apple Pencil — underline phrases, circle words, draw connections, and write notes in the margin beside the text. Open a full-page drawing view, with an optional journaling template, for detailed study notes on any chapter, and add ruled lines to give your notes structure. Type anywhere with text boxes, on the chapter page or in your notes. Move, resize and color each box, and choose any font size. With Apple Pencil, write inside a box and Scribble turns your handwriting into typed text (Scribble must be turned on in iPad Settings). Tap any word in Original Language mode to see its Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic source, transliteration, definitions, and where it occurs across Scripture. Tag verses by theme, and add your own cross-references and footnotes alongside the NASB's built-in cross-references to build a personal study system. New: put a verse on your Home Screen. The WrittenWord widget shows a verse you've pinned, or a new verse each day from one of your tags, in your reading theme and font. Tap it to open the passage. Simple Mode strips WrittenWord back to the essentials — large, clear text, a simple pen and highlighter, and easy navigation — for anyone who wants a straightforward Bible on their iPad.
