It crazy how many websites out there around bible collect information and share it with third parties. I looked at a bunch and couldn’t find anything that’s completely private.
Worst case, I would OK with them collect information but not share any information with third parties.
Don’t have an answer but I’m genuinely surprised and impressed that the majority of responses aren’t people being snarky about religion and instead, just folks trying to help you out!
Good luck!
It hit the magical crossover between being non-pushy and asking about privacy
Lemmy might be touchy about religion but it has a passion for data privacy
Press tab a few times in TempleOS.
OliveTree. Excellent app for study. They have literally everything including devotional. It’s the power app for study.
If you use a debian or debian- derivated distribution, you can install it with
apt install bible-kjv.Okay, that’s awesome. I hadn’t realized that was a thing. Probably not what OP’s looking for, but definitely amazing.
you version has no ads, not sure about tracking. does have decent devotionals and no account required
That’s what used till now, then I found it shares data with third parties
ah that’s too bad, I’ll have to keep an eye on the thread then
I think the trick is the daily devotional, they’ll want to know who you are to deliver that.
Bible Gateway is great if you just want the text, multiple translations even.
Why does it has to do anything with me? Just pick out a verse and provide devotional on it.
Have you heard of upper room? They’re in print. My mom reads the old ones from years ago, one of the previous years where the day of the week matched up with the date – because devotionals are evergreen.
Not what you asked but you may be able to get paper devotionals from a church. Or maybe upper room has an ok website?
They likely keep track of who has been delivered which devotional to avoid duplicates.
For your phone? On iOS, the most popular Bible app doesn’t have ads.
I want privacy
This might be of interest but the UI looks bad

For me, something based around Sword is important, as it allows you to use a bunch of different Bible versions, commentaries, dictionaries and other works that you can freely download from various repositories. My app of choice is AndBible, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. I don’t know whether or not they collect any information, but I believe they do have a warning before you search for Sword modules, since accessing those databases can identify you as a Christian.
EDIT: No, sorry, the warning is on BibleTime, my desktop app of choice.

I don’t own this bible myself, but it has good review score (3.9 out of 5 stars)
