- Seven highlight styles
- Ink and voice notes
- Five reading plans and prayer
- Cross-translation anchors and export
Exports apply to supported individual annotations and study items; bulk library export is not currently claimed.
Why Behold
One workspace instead of a trail of tabs.
Bible study should not dissolve into disconnected browser searches, note files, image boards, and reference apps. Behold keeps the work together and the passage in view.
Context arrives in place
Open the words, relationships, timeline, geography, and themes connected to the passage you are already reading.
Your work remains connected
Notes and highlights stay anchored as you move between translations, with links to the people and studies that matter.
The interface knows when to leave
Tools appear when they can illuminate the text and recede when it is time to read, reflect, or teach.
Free at the center
Start with Scripture. Go further when you want.
Behold is free to download. The reader, four offline translations, and core study tools work without an account. The Berean is an optional upgrade for the complete visual library and cross-device sync.

Questions, answered
Before you begin.
Which devices does Behold support?

What does The Berean include?
The Berean opens the complete visual library and optional cross-device sync through a Behold account. Current regional purchase options and prices are shown by Apple in the app.
Which translations work offline?
KJV, ASV, NKJV, and NASB 1995 are bundled for offline reading and are currently available free to all users.

What can I export?
Supported individual annotations and study items can be exported as Markdown, PDF, square images, or story images. Behold does not currently claim a complete bulk export of the entire annotation library.
