Looking for a Bible reader that puts Scripture front and center — no devotionals, no social feeds, no distractions? Bolls Bible is a cross-platform Bible reading app built on one conviction: Sola Scriptura — full emphasis on God's Word only.^1
With over 100 translations in 29 languages, Bolls Bible gives you access to a wide range of Scripture texts — from the KJV and ESV to Ukrainian, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and many more. Features include bookmarks, reading history, cross-device sync, parallel reading for comparing translations side by side, full-text search, and deeply customizable themes including a color theme generator so you can make it truly yours.^2
Created by Bohuslav Pavlyshynets, a Ukrainian developer who was frustrated with cluttered Bible apps and corrupted texts, Bolls Bible started as a passion project in 2020. "I was using different Bible readers before but I dislike their design, interface, and sometimes there was even corrupted texts," he shared on Reddit. "So I decided to create my own app."^3 The entire project is open source under the GPL-3.0 license, with over 560 commits and active development as of early 2026.^4
