ABBA — A Better Bible App
A clean, modern study Bible for the web. Built to spread God's word.
ABBA exists for one reason: to make reading and studying scripture genuinely easier, without the noise that most Bible apps have layered onto the experience over the last decade. No pop-ups. No reading-plan gamification. No ads. No tracking. Just scripture and the tools to study it well.
The web version is the current focus. Native apps for iOS and Android come later, sharing the same codebase via React Native.
What it does today
ABBA is in alpha. The current surface includes:
- Multiple translations. Read scripture in your translation of choice, with more being added.
- Study notes with categories. Take notes per verse, organize them into categories that match the way you actually study.
- Verse tagging. Tag verses by theme, topic, or any system you want; cross-reference across the whole Bible.
- Strong's lookup. Tap any word to surface the Strong's reference — Hebrew or Greek root, definitions, original-language context.
- Lexicon tools. Deeper word study beyond Strong's, for when you want to go further into the original languages.
- Multiple commentaries. Read alongside trusted commentaries — multiple sources, switchable per verse or per passage.
- Universal search. Search across all verses, all your tags, all your notes, and all available commentaries at once.
- AI-powered contextual study. Ask questions and have grounded conversations across the entire Bible AND your own generated content (notes, tags, highlights). The AI knows the surface you've built up.
Offline-first, sync-optional
ABBA was designed to work fully offline. You can open it, read, study, take notes, and tag verses with no network connection — on a plane, in a cabin, anywhere. If you want your study to follow you across devices, optional cloud sync handles that without compromising the offline experience.
Who it's for
Everyone, ultimately. Currently English-only, with multi-language support planned. The target user isn't a specific denomination or tradition — it's anyone who wants to spend serious time in scripture and wants their tools to get out of the way.
What it costs
Free, today. ABBA will introduce a premium tier later for paid translations with restrictive licensing, and to put the online AI study features behind a subscription. The core reading + studying experience will stay free forever.
