Want to actually read through the Bible — and stay on track? Sola is a thoughtfully designed Bible reading companion that helps you build customizable reading plans and work through Scripture at your own pace, whether solo or with friends.^1
At its core, Sola lets you create reading plans tailored to exactly what you want to read and how long you want to take. You choose the books, set the duration (up to 24 months), pick which days of the week to read, and Sola handles the rest — scheduling readings by word count so each day feels balanced.^2 Plans stay flexible after creation too: you can edit book ranges, adjust read counts, and reschedule missed readings to catch up.^2 Share plans via link or QR code and read alongside your small group, with the host able to update the plan for everyone.^1
What sets Sola apart is the contextual layer it wraps around your reading. Interactive maps powered by Mapbox show the cities, rivers, and landmarks mentioned in the passage you're in. A beautifully designed timeline places rulers, major events, and books of the Bible side by side so you can see where your reading fits in the larger story. BibleProject videos are embedded right where they're relevant.^3
