Bring your own content
Zefania or OSIS Bibles, concordances and lexicons, Bible dictionaries, verse-by-verse commentaries, PDF / EPUB books, audio, and quotes. No allowlist - you decide what to index.
Coming soon
Bibliup
Bible study software for developers and self-hosters.
A free, self-hostable study tool. Bring your own Bibles, concordances, dictionaries, commentaries, books, audio, and quotes; search and read them from one place, returned word for word and never fabricated.
A library you manage
Drop a file in and it's added and made searchable in place, with live progress and no restart. Rename, re-index, or remove any source from your library, and a file you delete drops out on its own.
Hybrid search
Keyword and semantic search run together and fuse in-app, so one query spans every source you've added and surfaces what actually means what you asked.
Read in context
Open any verse in its full chapter and read straight through. Switch between your translations, see the commentaries on that verse and chapter, and follow cross-references and word definitions linked inline.
Listen and read along
Drop in a sermon or talk and it's transcribed on your own machine into a searchable, timestamped transcript. Jump from a search result straight to the moment it's spoken, and read along while you listen.
Grounded answers
A chatbot that answers only from your retrieved sources and cites them. When your library doesn't cover a question, it says so rather than guessing.
Ask out loud
The same grounded chat is exposed on an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so you can wire it into Home Assistant and other tools. Voice models phrase their answers to be read aloud, references and all.
Your own notes
Write notes in a rich editor and they join everything else: reference-aware, searchable, and used to ground chat answers right alongside your Bibles and books.
Works offline
Install it like an app and download Bibles to read and compare with no connection. Your notes stay editable offline too and sync back the moment you reconnect.
Ready for any language
Internationalized to the core (i18n): every label, date, and number runs through a locale-aware catalog, so localizing it into a new language (l10n / t9n) is just one translation file, with right-to-left layouts, plural rules, and regional formatting (g11n) following automatically. Your own Bibles, notes, and audio are never translated; only the app's chrome is.
Accessible to everyone
Accessibility is part of every screen (a11y), built to WCAG 2.2 AA: full keyboard control, visible focus, screen-reader landmarks and live status, and enough contrast in the light, dark, and black themes. Nothing important hides behind a hover.
See what it's doing
Bibliup explains itself. Structured logs, Prometheus metrics, and OpenTelemetry traces export to your own collector, so you can watch indexing, search, and chat on the dashboards and tracing you already run.
Verbatim & yours
Source text is stored and returned word for word, every result is a grounded citation, and the whole thing self-hosts with Docker on hardware you own.
