Porta Angusta is a King James Bible reader for people who want to read the Word carefully — and want their tools to keep up.
The whole Authorized Version, 31,102 verses, every word, lives inside the app. No login, no network, no tracking. Open it once and it works on a plane, in a tent, in a cell.
— THE NARROW GATE —
"Enter ye in at the strait gate… because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
— Matthew 7:13–14
— WHAT IS INSIDE —
- READ. Book and chapter navigation. Adjustable text size, dark theme, large-print friendly. Tap a verse to highlight, double-tap to hear it. Read a whole chapter aloud, or select specific verses to play.
- SEARCH. Type any word or reference. The Stats panel breaks every search into Old Testament vs New Testament, then drills into per-book and per-chapter counts. Tap any of them to filter results. Pin searches you return to often.
- PEOPLE & PLACES. Names of people and places in the Bible. A summary card tells you the total count, the books they appear in, the first and last mention, and the peak book — with an arc diagram tracing the canonical journey.
- JOURNAL. Voice or type your reflections. Attach one verse or many. Tap "Reflect" on any verse anywhere in the app to start or append a note. Re-read your own marginalia. Share entries to Messages, Mail, or Notes.
- SHARE. Send any verse or reflection to friends through the iOS share sheet — Messages, Mail, AirDrop, anything you've got.
— TESTAMENT COLOUR —
Old Testament verses wear a warm gold accent. New Testament verses wear a cool blue. The stats bars match. You'll always know which testament you're reading without thinking about it.
— PRIVACY —
There is no account. There is no telemetry. Your journal, bookmarks, and pinned searches live in this app only, on this device only.
— OPEN SOURCE —
Porta Angusta is released under the MIT license. The KJV text is in the public domain in the United States.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. — Psalm 119:105
