Exegesis is a Bible study app for readers who want to sit with a passage the way the church has for two thousand years. Version 1.0 launched on Google Play in August 2026 — free to download, with iPhone, iPad, and Mac builds submitted to Apple — and it puts commentaries, confessions, creeds, hymns, and letters from church history one tap away from the verse you're reading, most of it working fully offline.^1
Tap any verse and a panel of doors opens beside it: commentary from 26 voices spanning Matthew Henry to Chrysostom, the 17 confessions and creeds that cite the passage, its cross-references (344,841 across Scripture), the 218 hymns that sing it, and 6,211 letters from 58 writers across nineteen centuries — Clement of Rome to Spurgeon. Tap a single word to meet the Greek, Hebrew, or Latin behind it across 18 texts (7 English translations plus 11 original-language editions), with pronunciation and a chart of how translators rendered it everywhere it appears. A guided daily devotional walks you through Scripture, catechism, a word study, a historic letter, and a hymn played from the actual engraved score.^1
Two premium tools weigh how passages connect: Reference Weight scores each thread between two verses — shared language, prophecy, theme — and highlights the very words that carry it in both passages, while Deep Synthesis weaves up to six cross-references into one cited analysis. A sermon Journal transcribes any sermon or lecture you record or link, pins every Scripture citation to the second it was spoken, and quizzes you against the speaker's own argument.^1
The app also includes an in-app AI study assistant that answers questions about the passage from Scripture and the Reformed confessions, turns each verse it mentions into a tappable reference, and sets up a study on your behalf only when you say yes.^1
Exegesis is built by Roberto Chavez Jr, a computer engineer who describes it as a Christian app made "to serve our God."^2 The core library is free; premium study tools and metered AI credits are optional in-app purchases, priced in the store before you buy.^3
