Bible Standard, a quiet reader for Scripture and the confessions
An offline iPhone and iPad reading app for Scripture, historic confessions, catechisms, Calvin, John Owen, and the Ante-Nicene Fathers.
Why it surfaced
Bible Standard is unusually clear about both its narrow purpose and its limits: the current app includes twelve works, linked Scripture proofs, cross-references, lexicon entries, and search that works in airplane mode. It is being built by one person in France, with a carefully specified community layer still to come—and a candid explanation of why that next part costs money.
