Reading Companion: a Bible reading plan with your own notes beside it
A private daily Bible reading schedule that shows the notes and highlights you made on today's chapters. Pick your pace, keep a streak, watch the 66-book grid fill in.
Plenty of apps offer a Bible reading schedule. Reading Companion does something none of them can: because it reads your own .jwlibrary backup, today's reading arrives with the notes and highlights you yourself made on those exact chapters — “you highlighted four verses in Psalm 37 two years ago.” Reading through the lens of your own study history, entirely on your device.
Step by step
Choose an order and a pace
Read in Bible order or approximate chronological order; finish in 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or set your own chapters-per-day pace — with a live “you'd finish around…” preview.
Read today's portion
Each chapter is one tap away, opening directly in JW Library or Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY in your language. Check chapters off as you go.
Bring your notes along (optional)
Load a backup in any JW Sync tool and your own notes and highlight counts appear right under today's chapters.
Watch the progress build
A 66-book grid fills in as you read, with a chapters-read bar, an on-pace forecast, and milestones for finishing each book, the Hebrew-Aramaic Scriptures, the Greek Scriptures — and the whole Bible.
Streaks without guilt
Completing a day grows your streak; missing a day simply moves the forecast finish date. There is no overdue pile — the plan bends to your life instead of scolding you.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to load a backup to use it?
- No — the plan, streaks and progress work on their own. The backup only adds your personal notes to each day's reading.
- Is my reading progress private?
- Yes. Progress lives in your browser on your device — there's no account and nothing is uploaded.
