Your English Bible makes choices you never see. DeepWord shows you every one.
A translation is one faithful person's choice of words. DeepWord puts the original Hebrew and Greek one tap away — made readable — so you're studying Scripture, not someone's rendering of it.
No Hebrew or Greek required — tap any word and it's already in plain English.
Open Genesis 1:1 in ten English Bibles and you'll read it ten slightly different ways. Most say "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The Bible in Basic English says "At the first God made the heaven and the earth." Every translator was faithful. Every one of them still had to choose.
Those choices are good and necessary — but they sit between you and the text. The word Moses wrote was בְּרֵאשִׁית, reshit: beginning, yes — but also firstfruits, and the chief or choicest part. One word, carrying more than any single English word can hold.
"The words of the LORD are pure words" (Psalm 12:6) — and the words David sang were Hebrew. DeepWord doesn't hand you a thirty-first translation. It gives you the pure word underneath all of them — the Hebrew and the Greek — grounded in the great scholarly lexicons, presented in plain English, one tap from any verse. Strong's, BDB, Abbott-Smith, Thayer's — reorganized for readability.
You don't go around the translation.
You go through it — to the source.
Behind every word of Scripture sits a whole range of meaning. A translation has to pick just one — and quietly drops the rest. Read the original and every meaning stays in view — so you decide what the verse is really saying.
Every original word — its full range of meaning, its word-family, and the scholar’s notes — right in your pocket.

Open John 1:1 and tap straight down — every word as its original Greek card, then each word's meanings, how different sources render it, everywhere it appears, and the cross-references. One verse, all the way to the source.
Switch on the interlinear and every verse shows the Greek or Hebrew in its original order — each word with its plain-English meaning right beneath the line. You're following the source itself, not a rearranged translation.
Every English rendering is a faithful choice — and every choice quietly dropped something. Walk through John 1:1 and get it back, word by word.
A third tab in the book picker lists all 66 books, each summed up in two sentences. Tap one and every chapter opens the same way — 1,189 chapters, one sentence each. Find the passage you half-remember without knowing the reference, and stop going back to the same six places.
Open any chapter and a short summary sits above the first verse — what this book is doing, and where this chapter sits inside it. No footnotes to chase, no commentary telling you what it means. DeepWord writes these from the verses themselves and says so on the card. Get your bearings, then go deep.
Read John 1:1 across all ten translations at once. ASV: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." BBE: "From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God." Same Greek. Different English. Now you can see exactly where the choices were made — and go beneath them.
John 1:1 laid out as a grid of cards in English reading order — en, archē, logos — each with the original Greek word, its Strong's number, the transliteration, and a plain-English meaning. The English you've read your whole life, mapped card-by-card to the Greek underneath it. Flip the layout with one tap.
בְּרֵאשִׁית — bereshit, the first word of Genesis — looks like a single word. It is two: in and beginning, fused into one. DeepWord shows you the seam — the Hebrew split with a dot, the same word in our letters split the same way, and what each piece means on its own. It isn't a curiosity: in 23,032 of the Old Testament's 23,261 verses, at least one word on the page is really two or more, and your English Bible has no way to show you where.
Not just the one your translation chose. Logos is speech, language, or utterance — that by which inward thought is expressed; a saying, statement, or declaration (logoi alēthinoi, "true words"); a reason or account; and, in John, the Divine Word himself. Each meaning laid out with its own Scripture references, every one tappable.
Tap reshit and the Brown-Driver-Briggs entry opens, rebuilt into clean readable notes instead of a wall of abbreviations: how the word carries both beginning in time and chief or choicest in rank, with a plain etymology tracing it to the root for "head." Real depth, no jargon — the one thing the free apps never made readable.
The Greek works exactly like the Hebrew. Tap Christos and read it plainly: the anointed one, from chriō, "to anoint" — with its Hebrew equivalent mashiach right there beside it. Hebrew and Greek, decoded the same readable way, so a familiar word opens up into what it actually says.
Logos appears 332 times across 24 books — and DeepWord shows you the whole footprint, book by book, ranked at a glance: Acts, John, Luke, Matthew. Sort by most-mentioned or Bible order, tap any book, and jump straight to every verse where the word appears.
Tap a book and each occurrence opens in context, the word highlighted in every verse. Logos turns up 65 times in Acts alone — rendered "account," "words," "saying," "message" — and every one lights up, because they're all the same Greek word. The footprint becomes a reading list.
In John 3:1, “a man named Nicodemus” is anthrōpos: a human being. In John 4:16, Jesus says “call your husband,” and the word is anēr — the same word your Bible calls “man” elsewhere. When one English word hides two or three originals — man, love, hell, servant, world and about forty more — DeepWord tells you which one your verse uses and how they differ.
Follow any thread across both Testaments. From John 1:1, jump to Genesis 1:1, to "the Word became flesh" in John 1:14, to Revelation 19:13 where his name is called the Word of God. Tap a reference and the reader opens there; tap a word inside that verse and keep going — the back button walks the chain in reverse.
A built-in Bible dictionary for the people and places of Scripture. Tap Eden — "Delight" — and the dictionary entry opens in one tap: what the name means, where scholars have placed it, and the passages to read next. The story behind the names, without leaving the verse.
Save verses to color-coded lists with tabs, so your study stays organized at a glance. No subscription, no ads, no account, no tracking — and it all works fully offline. Yours to keep.
One verse. A few minutes.
Depth you didn't know was a tap away on your phone.
Everything starts on the main screen. From there you tap across to a new screen, or scroll down the one you're on. That's the whole app.
All of these features — and still unbelievably easy to use.
No menus to learn. Tap across for a new view, scroll down for more on the same one — then tap back, exactly where you were.
Translations, the original languages, lexicons, cross-references, chapter and book summaries, the other Gospels side by side, the words Jesus spoke in Aramaic, search by meaning — and tools that read the sentence, not just the word: what each verb is doing, how the logic words carry the argument, where a set expression turns up again. In your pocket, fully offline.
The free apps are great for reading. The serious tools are powerful — but expensive or desktop-shaped. DeepWord sits in the gap. Here's the honest picture (as of October 2026).

Hi, I'm Pierre — I built DeepWord as a solo developer. This is a personal project, made for people who want to study Scripture with serious tools without needing a seminary library. The chapter and book summaries are AI-generated to help orient you. If something isn't working or you have an idea, I'd love to hear from you.
Get in touch →Perfect for word nerds. DeepWord was made for a particular kind of reader — the one who taps a single word and looks up an hour later, three verses deep in a word family. If you've ever stopped mid-verse and wondered “what does that word really say?” — you're one of us, and this app was built for you.
Everything you'd want to know before buying.
