#### Offline LDS scripture reader with notes, tags, search, sync, and opt-in AI

Desktop Scriptures is an offline reader for the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, Journal of Discourses, Lectures on Faith, and the Joseph Smith Translation, with the KJV Apocrypha, 1 Enoch, and the Book of Jasher available as opt-in volumes that aren't part of the Standard Works.
Study with notes, tags, highlighting, keyword search, a Topical Guide, a daily Journal, hand-checked cross-references, General Conference and Liahona citations, and a Word Study tab showing the Hebrew and Greek behind the English and what Book of Mormon names may mean.
Optional extras include chapters read aloud in voices you download once, AI-assisted search through an AI service you choose, cloud-folder sync between your own devices, Church News and Come Follow Me, and reminders for General Conference, temple recommend renewal, and family history.
Nothing reaches the network until you switch it on, except a weekly update of new talk and article citations, which you can turn off under View.
This is an unofficial app, not produced by or affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Community of Christ; sources, credits, and licenses are in the About menu and at <https://github.com/kz6fittycent/Desktop-Scriptures>.
