Bible Tiles is a free Bible reading and annotation app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision, built so digital study can feel closer to writing in a physical Bible.^1 Joseph Yaksich started it as a solo project; the organization is now a California nonprofit and a federally tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity.^1 The app has no ads, subscriptions, or accounts. Notes stay on the device unless optional iCloud sync is enabled, and the developer reports that the app collects no personal data.^1
Readers can draw and highlight with the native iOS toolpicker, add typed notes (with Apple Pencil Scribble on iPad), move annotations with a lasso, compare translations in split view, search, bookmark, and use simulated Bible tabs.^1 The library includes 40+ translations for offline use, including NIV, ESV, and ERV, plus red-letter text, customizable fonts, covers, and layouts, optional guidelines, dark mode, pinch-to-zoom, backup and restore, and a distraction-free reading view.^1
Support through donations is optional; the organization says gifts go toward more free translations, app improvements, and Gospel outreach.^1
