Beautiful to read. Deep enough to study for years. Honest about what it is, and what it will never do.
Most Bible apps treat scripture as a feed to fill and a customer to convert. Margin treats it as a page worth reading. No account to make, no ads to skip, no upsell on the verse you came for. Just the text, set with the care a printed Bible deserves, and the tools to go as deep as you want.
A calm serif reading surface with real section headings, poetry set as poetry, and the size and theme set to your eyes.
The tools a serious reader reaches for, on device, bought once.
Highlight in six colors, write as long a note as you like, bookmark a favorite, and share a verse as a quiet image.
Turn any verse into a clean, typographic card and send it anywhere. No loud graphics, no stock photos, just the words set with care.
Find passages by theme, or ask about the chapter you have open. Every verse it shows is rendered from your Bible, never written by the model. It cites book and verse, admits what it does not know, and never claims to speak for God. Everyone gets three questions a day for nothing, with no account and no card; Pro lifts the count for good. This is the honest version of the AI everyone else is renting to you monthly.
Margin is written for iOS, not ported to it. That means the small things feel right and the platform features are actually there.
A verse of the day on your home and lock screen, tap to open it.
Add "Continue reading" or "Verse of the day" to your Shortcuts and morning routine.
Listen to a chapter on the drive, with the controls where you expect them.
Buy Pro once and share it with your family, at no extra cost.
Your highlights and notes follow you to every device, with no account.
Set the text as large as you need. Made to be read for years.
A premium app should be trustworthy first. These are the lines we will not cross.
Reading the whole Bible costs nothing and always will. Everything else is a single purchase you own forever. There is no subscription in Margin, not even for the AI.
Three translations, reading themes, highlights, notes, bookmarks, the daily verse widget, a gentle reminder, iCloud sync with no account, and three questions a day for the study assistant.
Word study, concordance search, cross references, parallel translations, commentaries, reading plans, verse images, audio, and the study assistant without a daily count. Bought once, shared with your family.
The assistant used to cost $4.99 a month. Running it got cheap enough that charging monthly would have meant charging you for almost nothing, so we folded it into Pro and dropped the subscription.
No. Margin has no accounts and never will. Your reading position, highlights, and notes stay on your device and sync through your own private iCloud, which we cannot see.
Yes. We have no server that holds your reading data. There are no ads, no trackers, and nothing to sell. If you use the AI assistant, only the question you type is sent, with no name or account attached.
Three public-domain translations are bundled and work offline: the Berean Standard Bible, the World English Bible, and the King James Version. More translations may be offered later where licensing allows.
Never. Reading and the study tools work completely without it, and it points you to scripture rather than speaking for it.
No. Margin has one price, paid once. The study assistant used to be a $4.99 monthly add-on. The cost of running it dropped far enough that charging monthly would have meant charging you for almost nothing, so we folded it into Pro and dropped the subscription. Everyone, paying or not, gets three questions a day for free.
Real human narration of the public-domain text, with background playback, adjustable speed, a sleep timer, and CarPlay. Margin will never use a synthetic voice to read scripture.
Pro is a one-time purchase with Family Sharing, so buying it once covers your family at no extra cost.
Margin is on the App Store. Reading is free, forever.
