Apocrypha for PC

Apocrypha gives you access to the biblical books excluded from most modern editions: the texts positioned between the Old and New Testaments in the 1611 King James Bible. Running Apocrypha on your PC expands your reading experience far beyond a phone's screen, letting you settle in for longer study sessions with customizable fonts, full-screen mode, and continuous auto-scrolling through entire books without interruption.

Apocrypha works entirely offline and costs nothing: no ads blocking the top or bottom, no in-app purchases hiding behind paywalls. The app packs serious reading tools: text-to-speech for listening while you work, bookmarks across multiple books, a built-in notepad that lets you capture verses with a single tap, and four highlight shades at three intensity levels. On a computer, you can leave Apocrypha open alongside other windows, copy passages directly into your notepad, and pick up exactly where you left off each session.

Reading Tools for Sustained Study

Apocrypha equips you with features designed for close reading and note-taking. The searchable keyword function helps you locate specific passages within each book. Font size, word spacing, line height, background color, and page margins all adjust to your preference, especially useful on a larger desktop display where you can expand text without sacrificing readability. Three different verse layout modes let you find the format that works best for your workflow.

How a Desktop Session Unfolds

1. Open Apocrypha alongside your browser or word processor on your computer.
2. Enable auto-scrolling to read through an entire book without touching the keyboard.
3. Tap any verse number to copy it instantly into the notepad for later reference.
4. Use the resume button to return to your last position the next time you open the app.
5. Apply highlights and bookmarks as you read, saving your notes for transfer between devices.
6. Switch to full-screen mode for immersive reading without distractions.

A Complete Biblical Reference for Research

Apocrypha serves as a complete biblical reference within the study Bible collection of historical texts. The app includes the 70 missing verses from 2 Esdras (drawn from the Cambridge Annotated Study Apocrypha), giving you access to material absent from standard versions. Since everything runs offline, you can leave the app running on your computer indefinitely without internet dependency, making it reliable for research, devotional reading, or comparative study across multiple sessions.
