the language beneath
Hebrew in the old testament, Greek in the new, and Aramaic Peshitta beside the new testament.
nothing watches you
no account, no feed, no tracking software. the reader is built to get out of the way.
what it is
a doorway under the translation.
most apps put a translation in front of you. undertext sits you underneath one. every verse opens word by word — the original script, a transliteration, a short gloss, and a doorway to go deeper.
- 1 open any verse from the reader, search, or a shared reference.
- 2 sit with the original words beneath the english, without leaving the verse.
- 3 tap into word study, be still mode, or a daily verse when the moment asks for it.
the full reader
simple enough to return to every day.
read, search, study, and clear the screen down to a single verse. chapters you open stay with you afterward, and the only notification is the daily verse you choose.
everything it holds
small on purpose, deep on purpose.
every part of the reader below is free, forever. Grace is the one thing that isn't — she has a real, growing cost, and she says so plainly.
three scripts beneath
Hebrew, Greek, and the Aramaic Peshitta — every verse held word by word under the english.
word study
part of speech, root, transliteration, Strong's number, and the source trail — one tap deep.
every word, spoken
31,943 recordings — hear the Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic said aloud, one word at a time.
be still mode
the screen clears to a single verse, held quietly, for as long as you need.
a daily verse
one gentle notification a day, at the hour you choose — and nothing else, ever.
a private journal
what a verse opens in you, kept on your device and in your own iCloud — never on ours.
Gracethe one paid thing
a study companion who reads the passage with you, sits in the original languages, and writes back.
Sacred Name Edition
a translation that keeps the divine names — Yahweh in the old testament, Yeshua in the new.
undertext insights
careful notes beneath hard verses — where a translation flattens something the original still says.
a verse is a link
undertext.org/John/3/16 opens that verse — in the app if it's installed, in any browser if not.
try before installing
scan an App Clip Code and a verse opens natively in seconds — no download, no account.
nothing watches you
no account, no feed, no analytics, no tracking. the App Store label says "Data Not Collected" because it's true.
why Grace is the one paid thing
the reader is free. always. Grace has a real cost.
every part of undertext you can hold on your own — the reader, the original-language word audio, be-still mode, search, and the undertext insights — is free forever, because its cost is fixed and we have already paid it. Grace is different. she is a study companion who reads the passage with you and writes back, and every reply she writes spends real tokens on the model she runs on. that is a cost that grows with every conversation, so Grace, and only Grace, sits behind a subscription.
everyone gets a taste for free — a few real conversations, enough to feel whether she belongs in your reading. after that, Grace Pro opens the door to stay: $39 a year, which works out to about $3.33 a month, with the first 7 days free on the yearly plan. that is a fraction of what the aggressive AI Bible apps charge by the week, and it is priced that way on purpose. you are not paying a toll to reach Scripture. you are funding a teacher who sits in the Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic beneath the verse — and keeping the rest of undertext free for everyone who never pays a cent.
what is being built next
Grace and recorded language work need room.
the reader is already here. the next layer is more careful: Grace, spoken original-language work, and a support path that does not cheapen the text or rush the person reading it.
