Notes that know where they belong

πŸ“Œ

Attached to the passage

Type a Bible reference in your notes and Nota Scriptura recognizes it automatically β€” highlighting it in blue and tying your notes to that passage so you can find them again later.

✍️

Just write

No templates, no required fields, no structure to fight. A sermon note is whatever you want it to be β€” a date, a passage, and your thoughts. The app gets out of the way.

☁️

Across all your devices

Notes sync automatically through your own private iCloud account β€” iPhone, iPad, and Mac all stay in step. No separate account to create, no server we operate.

πŸ“š

Your personal commentary

Every verse note you mark is filed under its verse, in Bible order, building a commentary of your own. Open a chapter to see everything you've learned on it, from every sermon and study, then tap through to the note it came from.

Designed for how you study

From Sunday morning to deep study

Whether you're following along in a sermon or working through a book of the Bible on your own, Nota Scriptura keeps your notes organized around the text β€” not a folder tree.

Live verse recognition

Type a reference like "Romans 8:28" and Nota Scriptura recognizes it as you write β€” no special formatting needed. The reference turns blue and links your note to that passage.

  • Recognizes standard Bible reference formats
  • Works for single verses, ranges, and lists of verses
  • Understands common abbreviations like Rom, 1 Cor and Ps, and can expand them to full book names (an option in Settings)

A Study panel on every device

The Study panel shows the passage text alongside your notes β€” slide it up under your note on iPhone, keep it beside the note on iPad and Mac β€” so you can read and write without switching apps.

  • Updates as you type your reference
  • Stays in sync with the note you're writing
  • Collapses when you don't need it
☁️

Your iCloud, your data

Notes sync through your private iCloud container β€” Apple's iCloud Drive. We never have access to your data, and nothing passes through a server we operate.
