CLUSTER BIBLE-OFFLINE-TRANSLATIONS · 34 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-11-02
Offline Bible reading apps
This cluster comprises offline-first applications for reading and studying the Bible across mobile, desktop, and terminal environments, with a strong emphasis on multiple translations, search, cross-references, favorites, and audio features. Entry dates show a sparse, steady trickle of new projects from September 2016 through November 2025, each month having at most one new entry, so no distinct timing pattern emerges. The traction leaders, Graceful-word, kjv-app, and The Light, show the highest activity signal recorded, though all have zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 14 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
