Platform Availability and Future Expansion
Currently available for Windows, the software plans Mac and Linux support by 2023, with iOS and Android versions targeted for 2024. All APIs operate locally, ensuring offline functionality and user privacy. The developers emphasize this protects against "hijacking or manipulation" of scripture content.
The announcement notes this represents the "lighter version," with "Holy Bible Desktop Complete"—a more comprehensive edition—scheduled for October 2023 release.
