16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Scarlet made white, the same promise Isaiah opens with. Worth reading the two together.

Highlights, notes and notebooks

Seven colors, a note on any verse you like, and notebooks to gather what belongs together. Select a phrase to mark it, select it again to write about it. Everything saves as you go, and none of it needs an account.

Isaiah 1:18, KJV

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.

Isaiah 1:18, Gileadi

Come now, let us put it to the test, says Jehovah: though your sins are as scarlet, they can be made white as snow.

Two texts, side by side

Open any chapter next to any other and lock the panes so they scroll together. Good for translations, and better for reading a passage against its echo somewhere else on the shelf.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Joshua 1:9

Something to read today

One verse a day, the same one for everyone, curated from the shelf. The daily feed carries it further and can tap you on the shoulder up to nine times a day.

Be still, and know that I am God.

Be still, and know that I am God.

Be still, and know that I am God.

What other readers are marking

Verses that several people have highlighted, noted or bookmarked rise quietly into the daily feed. Anonymous, always. No names, no profiles, no follower counts, nothing to perform.

Find the verse you half remember

Full text across every verse you can see, ranked by how densely the word lands rather than by what was imported first. Type in the box and it answers as you go.

Bring your own books

Drop in a file and it becomes a real book: chapters and verses found for you, indexed for search, ready to highlight like anything else here. Scanned pages are read by OCR right in your browser, so even a photographed edition ends up as text you can search.

The WordPress plugin is coming soon.

Everything on this site runs on Lil Red Wagon, and it is being packaged as a WordPress plugin for anyone who wants the same thing on their own domain. Your texts, your readers, your database. Every highlight and note stays on your server, where you can back it up and take it with you.

Hear about it first

One email, on the day it is released.


    No newsletter and no drip sequence. Your address is used for that one note and nothing else.

    The wagon is loaded. Pull it along.

    No account, no install, no cost. Open a book and the first highlight is one tap away.
