Questions, problems or ideas: email jdavis@jadhq.com. Include your macOS version and, for a problem, what you were doing when it happened.

Requirements

macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on an Apple silicon or Intel Mac. The app works fully offline: every verse and cross-reference is built in.

Getting around

Arcs
Every verse from Genesis to Revelation on one line, with each cross-reference as an arc. Hover to light up a book or verse, scroll or pinch to zoom, drag to pan, and click to focus a passage. Its details open on the right.
Threads
Read a chapter on the left, with threads from each verse to where it connects in the whole Bible. The Hebrew/Greek switch shows each verse beside its original text: את on Old Testament chapters, ΑΩ on New Testament ones.
Go to a passage
Type a reference such as “John 3:16” or “Ps 23” in the search field, or press ⌘L.
Filters
Cross-references carry community votes from OpenBible.info. The Filters menu sets how many votes a link needs to show; click a genre in the legend to hide or show its links.
Copying
Hover a verse in the details and click the copy button to copy it with its reference.
Start over
⇧⌘H returns to the whole Bible with the default filter.

Troubleshooting

The arcs look frozen after the Mac wakes from sleep
Update to the latest version, which redraws after sleep. If it still happens, quit and reopen the app, and please email me.
Something else isn’t right
Quit and reopen the app first. If it persists, email me with your macOS version.
