Free alerts

Bible Verse Alerts

A quiet reminder on your phone — not an App Store widget, but a free verse notification you can set up from this site.

Loading a verse…

Choose a Bible version below — alerts use the same one.

Set up alerts

Choose how often a new verse should arrive. Verse alerts are separate from homepage update notifications — you can use one, the other, or both.

Once a day includes a quiet verse alert by default. For every few hours, leave this unchecked unless you want more verse pings. Site news is separate — turn that on under Updates on the homepage.

How to add this to your phone

iPhone (Safari)

  1. Open this page in Safari (not Chrome).
  2. Tap the Share button.
  3. Choose Add to Home Screen.
  4. Open BB Verses from that new icon.
  5. Pick a frequency, choose whether you want notifications, and tap Save settings.
  6. Allow notifications when asked.

Needs iOS 16.4 or newer. Alerts are notification banners — not the same as an App Store home-screen widget tile.

Android (Chrome)

  1. Open this page in Chrome.
  2. Tap the browser menu.
  3. Choose Add to Home screen / Install app.
  4. Open it from the icon.
  5. Pick a frequency, choose notifications if you want them, and save.

Delivery can vary a little by phone and battery settings, but this usually works smoothly on Android.
