The Variant Lens — see where the foundational texts differ
Put two Greek editions side by side (TR and TISCH is the classic pair), flip Δ Variant lens in the settings gear, and every word one text carries that the other lacks wears a dotted gold underline — open 1 John 5 and verse 7 stands marked in the TR with silence opposite it. Whole verses absent from one text say so plainly, and a summary line counts the chapter’s differences. Spelling conventions never light up — only real presence, absence and substitution. The lens describes; it never judges: these are the very deltas beneath the King James and the modern translations, shown rather than told. The diff runs locally on the chapters already on your screen — no server calls, no new data, works offline.
v3231 July 2026
Type the word, get the number
Type the word, get the number. Search church and a gold bar now offers its Strong’s number above the results — one tap to every occurrence, every spelling. Search love and the bar shows all four numbers the KJV renders as love, each with its count — choosing between them is the word study. Measured from the tagged KJV itself, so charity finds G26 though no modern translation says charity at all. The bar offers; it never substitutes.
v3131 July 2026
Phrase search by the numbers
Phrase search by the numbers. Select a phrase — fear not — and the palette offers 🔍 by the numbers: the Strong’s numbers riding inside your selection become the search, and the numbers never inflect, so one tap finds the phrase in every spelling and every rendering. Hebrew al-tira (H408→H3372) stands in 74 OT verses where the English wording showed 63. Two honest modes: together in one verse, or side by side in original order (a particle between words never breaks it, and a two-word pair tries Hebrew’s reversed order for you). Type sequences too: H408 H3372. All matching is local, from shipped indexes of the tagged WLC and Tischendorf.
v3031 July 2026
Every-occurrence Strong’s search — the roadmap’s oldest promise, kept
Every-occurrence Strong’s search — the roadmap’s oldest promise, kept. Tap any word, open its dictionary entry, and tap 🔍 Every occurrence: every verse in Scripture where that number stands — every spelling, every rendering. Church, churches, and Acts’ assembly are one G1577, and now one search; the number is the “or” you always wanted. Type a number straight into the search box too (G1577, H430). Results show in your translation where its text ships with the app, the found word wears gold on the tagged display, and the headline carries the same exact figures Word analytics counts.
v2931 July 2026
The bridge lights untagged Greek
The bridge lights untagged Greek. Mark church in Revelation on the Textus Receptus and εκκλησιας now colors with it — the untagged column borrows its Strong’s numbers from the tagged edition at render time, matched spelling by spelling, so count and color finally agree everywhere the counting already did. A spelling the tagged text uses for two different numbers is left uncolored rather than guessed.
v2831 July 2026
Counting is exact in KJV, WEB and YLT — and quote-proof everywhere
Counting is exact in KJV, WEB and YLT — and quote-proof everywhere. The public-domain editions now count phrases from their own shipped text — the very words the app displays — so a count there is exact and uncapped, never a “≥ at least,” and it works offline. Type “I am” with or without quotation marks; both count now (quotes used to reach the server and come back empty, and the app wrongly said not once). Other editions still count through bolls, with punctuation cleaned from the query — and when the server refuses words outright, the app now says could not be measured instead of pretending it counted a zero.
v2731 July 2026
The family total leads in gold
The family total leads in gold. Count a phrase family — “Fear not and its cousins” — and the grand total now stands first, gold and unmissable, above the wording-by-wording groups: said 107× in 103 verses, 5 wordings, in KJV. The first group’s count no longer steals the headline.
v2630 July 2026
The Greek counts on any Greek
The Greek counts on any Greek. bolls’ Textus Receptus carries no Strong’s tagging, so on a TR screen the number rows had no tags to count and old Greek marks nothing to heal from. Now the analytics borrows tags from the tagged edition of the same testament (Tischendorf for Greek, the WLC for Hebrew) whenever the displayed text carries none — you keep the text you chose, the counting borrows the tags, and a line under the table says exactly which edition answered. A chapter with no tagged text anywhere says so with a dash, never a false zero.
v2530 July 2026
The number rows
The number rows. Any word marked through the Strong’s bridge now gets a second row in Word analytics, labeled by its number and counted by that number — exact on any translation, the NASB included, because the tag does not care which English is in column one. Your English row keeps telling the truth about the English word; the number row beneath it answers for every spelling of the original. And an old Hebrew or Greek mark made before one-tap marking now finds its number from the tagged text on the spot — the dash only remains when the text itself cannot say which number is meant.
v2430 July 2026
Word analytics tells the whole truth
Word analytics tells the whole truth. The OT, NT and whole-Bible columns are exact totals — for English words they come from a word table built from this app’s own text (so LORD and GOD, the small-caps renderings of the Name, are finally counted — god in the KJV is 4,556, not “at least 1,656”), and for Hebrew and Greek words the Strong’s number does the counting, gathering every spelling of the word under one count: mark אֶלֹהִים from its dictionary entry and the table says 2,606 across the OT, the reference count, exactly. The Book column is counted the same way.
v2330 July 2026
Marking the Hebrew and Greek is one tap
Marking the Hebrew and Greek is one tap. Tap any original word as you always have — its dictionary entry opens, and the entry carries the six colors: pick one, and the word marks across the chapter with its English counterpart alongside. Also fixed: a drag that swallowed a Strong’s number no longer invents words like “GodH430”.
v2230 July 2026
Hebrew and Greek are markable, and Word analytics becomes a table
Word study: the Hebrew and Greek are now markable — right-click an original word (or tap it in pencil mode) to color it, and its English counterpart colors with it through the Strong’s bridge. And 📊 Word analytics is now a table in the Notes tab, always visible: each marked word in its own color, counted in this chapter, this book, the OT, the NT, and the whole Bible — measured live, never guessed.
v2130 July 2026
Word-study marking, with the originals linked
Word study marking: tap one word, and the palette offers all in this chapter — every occurrence colored at once — and, where the translation carries Strong’s tagging, it colors the Hebrew or Greek word behind it in the Originals column too. Then the 📊 Word analytics button under the marking legend measures every marked word: this chapter, Old Testament, New Testament, whole Bible — counted live, never guessed.
v2030 July 2026
Comfort text
Comfort text: one switch in the settings row (the gear) gives the whole app a plainer typeface with taller lines and more air between words — for anyone who finds dense text hard work.
v1930 July 2026
Shared notes across open windows
Shared notes across open windows. Open the Dashboard in two windows — the text in one, your notes in the other — and both see the same studies: a note saved in either window appears in both, and no window can erase another’s work. Your studies still live on this device only; there is no copy on any server.
v1830 July 2026
Guzik one tap away, the Lab findable, an honest What’s new
Guzik one tap away, and the Lab findable. David Guzik’s commentary sits one tap away at the foot of the Deeper list — read on his own site, at Enduring Word’s request. The Patterns Lab got its own link in the footer and the About panel, so a page only the docs index knew about became findable from where a student actually stands. What’s new began telling the truth about each version, and search pages grew to 128 verses a page.
v1730 July 2026
Six seats, one footer link
Guzik’s seat retired. The Deeper tab seats six commentaries — Gill, Matthew Henry, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, Clarke, Keil & Delitzsch, and Tyndale’s open notes — with David Guzik linked per chapter rather than seated, honoring Enduring Word’s answer about their copyright.
v1630 July 2026
Guzik linked, never hosted
Guzik linked, never hosted. Enduring Word answered our permission question: link, don’t host. The app honors it — every trace of fetched or cached Guzik text was removed the same day, and a test suite now stands guard so it can never quietly return. The policy is permanent.
v1530 July 2026
The Study Partner measures before it answers
Counting questions answered by measurement. Ask the Study Partner “how many times…” and it uses the app’s own measured counts instead of guessing from memory — and the app as a whole learned to tread lighter on bolls.life, the free service that serves every verse.
v1430 July 2026
The counter paced itself to death
Opening-night fix. The phrase counter fired requests fast enough to earn 429s from the server on its first real evening. It now paces itself, backs off when asked, and finishes the count it started.
v1329 July 2026
Phrase analytics — how many times, in how many wordings
Search can count. Pick a phrase like “Fear not” (or type your own) and tap Count it to see how many times the Bible really says it, wording by wording, in any script — the first measured answer in what became the whole analytics family above.
v1–v12THE FOUNDATIONS · JULY 2026
The workbench itself
Before the analytics family, the Dashboard’s first dozen versions built the workbench: the reader with side-by-side translation columns and the Originals column; six-color word marking with the Strong’s bridge to the Hebrew and Greek; the Lexicon a tap away on every word; notes that live on your device and nowhere else; search across the canon; the Study Partner; the Deeper commentary seats; the Patterns Lab; the About & Docs library with Hebrew 101 and Greek 101; read-aloud for the English and the originals; and the offline-first install that makes it all work on an iPad in a room with no signal. Observation → Interpretation → Application.
