How it works
Three taps from a verse to the whole story.
There is nothing to configure and nothing to import. Open the app, start reading, and the connections are already there waiting.
Open a passage.
Start from the Verse of the Day on the home screen, search for a half-remembered phrase, or jump straight to a book and chapter. Everything is bundled in the app, so it opens with or without a signal.
Follow the thread.
Tap a verse to see where else Scripture says it. Pick one of the references and both passages open together, side by side, so you can read the prophecy and the fulfilment in the same breath.
Keep the connection.
Save it. It joins your list of connections and gets drawn into your Web of Scripture, the map of everything you have linked so far. Come back in six months and your study is still there, one tap from where you left it.
Questions, answered.
Is Rooted Word free?
Yes. It is free to download on the App Store, and it is built as a non-profit, donation-supported project, not an ad business.
Which translations are included?
The Berean Standard Bible (BSB), King James Version (KJV), New Living Translation (NLT) and World English Bible (WEB). You can switch translations on any chapter, and on either side of a cross-reference.
Does it work offline?
Bible text is bundled with the app, so chapters read fine with no connection. Sync, search and the Bible AI need internet.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. Rooted Word is an iPhone app today. The Discord community is the first place that news will land.
What exactly is a cross-reference?
A link between two passages that speak to each other: a prophecy and its fulfilment, a quotation and its source, or a shared theme. Rooted Word ships with more than 60,000 of them, and lets you save your own.
Do my highlights and notes sync?
Yes, to any device you sign in on. Highlights, notes, bookmarks and saved connections all travel with your account.
