Pure Bible Search
Search the King James Bible off-line on your phone — free for Android and iPhone. Clean, fast, and distraction-free. Internet access not required.
Pure Bible Search finds words the way a concordance does — by rapidly looking them up, not by slowly scanning through the text. Type a word and its every occurrence is immediately and already counted: 973 for "Jesus" without apostrophe, 64,041 for "the", all 790,849 words of the 1769 text indexed and waiting. No account. No network. No advertising. The whole Bible and its index are inside the app.
Instant concordance search
Every word and phrase in the King James indexed. Occurrence, verse, chapter and book counts on every search.
Wildcards & exclusions and punctuation search
Jesus" without trailing punctuation is 777 in the KJB. "Jesus" without "Jesus Christ" leaves 777. Search within any book, category or testament. Very powerful filters.
Noah Webster's 1828
Tap a word and Webster's 1828 Unabridged is underneath the counts — the edition that defines the English the King James is written in.
Over 800 published searches
Brandon Peterson's search files from the book 'Sealed By The King' and the website kjvcode.com ship with the app. A treasure trove of amazing counts and patterns.
The counts are the point
Where a total is one of the numbers worth naming, the app prints the arithmetic beside it — 343 (7×7×7), 2,331 (777×3).
Nothing else
No account. No network. No advertising, no analytics, nothing collected. Works in airplane mode. Free.

Pure Bible Focus
A Bible you cannot skim.
It shows the King James with the words you already know taken out — a blank for each one, so the shape of the verse is still there to think against. When even the blanks become too easy, take every word down to its ends, its consonants, or its vowels: b-------g, then b-g-nn-ng, then -e-i--i--. The line never changes length. A word you half-remember is still the right shape on the page.
When the sentence starts carrying you along by rhythm alone, reverse it. The words run backwards and the recitation you had stops working, because you are reading again instead of remembering.
And when you want the whole thing back, press the verse. It returns in full, in its own order, for as long as you look at it.
Set it to one verse at a time and the page holds a single verse and nothing else. No next verse in the corner of your eye, no paragraph to skim to. Just the one, until you swipe.
None of it changes the text. Words are hidden, shortened or reversed on the page and never altered underneath — the 1769 King James, all 31,102 verses, entirely inside the app. No account, no network, nothing collected. Tap any word for Noah Webster's 1828 and for exactly where it falls in the verse, the chapter, the book and the Bible.
Memorizing scripture is mostly the work of not letting your eyes do the remembering for you. This makes that work possible.
