Dialoga
A Bible reading companion with AI that understands your theological tradition. Ask questions about any passage and receive insights shaped by your denomination, your preferred teachers, and your study level.
AI That Knows Your Tradition
Most Bible apps give generic commentary. Dialoga adapts to you. A Reformed Baptist asking about Romans 8:28 receives a response grounded in Calvinist theology. A Methodist asking the same question gets a Wesleyan perspective emphasizing prevenient grace. A Catholic sees insights from Aquinas and the Magisterium.
Your denomination, theological orientation, and preferred teachers are all part of the conversation. See real examples: theology comparison | translation comparison
What You Can Do
Ask While You Read
Tap any verse and ask a question without leaving the passage. The text and the conversation live in the same place.
5 Translations + Greek Word Study
KJV, ASV, BBE, WEB, and a word-by-word Greek Interlinear for the New Testament with lexicon lookup. Tap any Greek word to see every NT verse that uses the same Strong's-numbered word, grouped by book with KJV snippets.
Smart Search
Search by concept, theme, or meaning. AI finds related verses even when the exact words don't match. Start from topic chips (Love, Forgiveness, Anxiety, Prayer, Grace and more) or jump back into a recent search. After results appear, tap Ask AI about these verses for a synthesis of what they teach together.
Reading Tracker
Opt-in tracking across all 1,189 chapters. A dedicated Progress screen shows overall completion, OT/NT breakdowns, and per-book chapter grids. The Pace tab adds a 12-week reading chart and finish-date estimates for the current book, testament, and whole Bible.
Study Levels
Beginner, intermediate, or advanced. The AI adjusts depth and vocabulary to match your experience.
Verse Highlighting
Long-press any verse to highlight it in one of five colors. Tap additional verses while the picker is open to highlight several at once. Organize with custom tags and filter from a dedicated Highlights screen.
Guided Tutorial
A short six-step walkthrough on first launch shows you how to switch translations, ask the AI about a verse, run Smart Search, highlight, and track reading. Replay anytime from Settings → About.
We believe you should understand exactly how this works.
Dialoga is transparent about what the AI does and doesn't do, what data is sent, and how your preferences shape every response.
Why I Built Dialoga
I built Dialoga to solve a problem I kept running into in my own Bible reading.
Whenever I came across a verse I wanted to understand more deeply, I'd stop, switch to another app, ask a question, then try to find my place again. It broke the rhythm of reading and made the whole experience feel fragmented.
I wanted something integrated, where the text and the conversation stayed together. But I also wanted the AI to know something about me. My denomination. My theological tradition. The teachers I respect. So that when I asked a question, the answer reflected my own framework rather than a generic one-size-fits-all response.
I couldn't find that app, so I built it.
Dialoga is the result: a simple, clean Bible reading companion designed around conversation. It's not trying to be everything. It's trying to do one thing well: help you engage more deeply with Scripture without interrupting the experience of reading it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't my favorite Bible translation available (ESV, NIV, NASB)?
Dialoga only includes free and public domain translations. Popular versions like ESV, NIV, and NASB require commercial licensing and cannot be included. We currently offer KJV, WEB, ASV, BBE, and a Greek Interlinear for the New Testament.
Is the AI replacing Scripture or my pastor?
No. Dialoga is a study companion, not a replacement for Scripture, personal study, or pastoral guidance. The AI helps explore context and meaning, but always points back to the biblical text itself.
Is my data private?
Yes. Most data is stored locally on your device. When you use the AI chat, your question and passage context are sent to generate a response but are not stored. No data is sold or used for advertising. Read the full privacy policy.
Can I use Dialoga offline?
You can read the Bible offline. All translations are stored on your device. The AI chat feature requires an internet connection.
How do I highlight verses?
Long-press any verse to open the color picker and choose a highlight color. While the picker is open, tap additional verses to add them to the selection. Tap a color to apply. View all your highlights from the star icon in the header.
What sources does the AI draw on for its answers?
Dialoga's AI runs on Anthropic's Claude, a large language model trained on a broad body of public Christian scholarship, biblical commentary, and theological writing across traditions: Reformed, Catholic, Wesleyan, Charismatic, Orthodox, and more. It is not browsing the internet or pulling answers from a live database in real time.
How does Smart Search work?
Smart Search uses AI to find verses related by concept, theme, or meaning, not just verses that contain your exact words. Open the Search tab, type a topic like "forgiveness" or "anxiety," and tap Search. You can also pick a topic chip (Love, Forgiveness, Anxiety, Prayer, Grace, Suffering, Faith, Hope, Trust, Wisdom, Marriage, End times) or a recent search. After results appear, tap Ask AI about these verses to have the AI explain what they teach together.
Can I see every place a Greek word appears in the New Testament?
Yes. Switch the translation to Greek Interlinear, tap any Greek word, and choose View all occurrences. Dialoga lists every verse in the New Testament where the same Strong's-numbered word appears, grouped by book in canonical order with a KJV snippet for each verse. Tap any occurrence to jump straight to that passage.
Can I track my reading progress?
Yes. Reading tracking is opt-in (off by default). Once enabled, a checkmark in the passage header lets you mark chapters as read. The Reading Progress screen shows overall completion across all 1,189 chapters, OT/NT breakdowns, per-book chapter grids, and a Pace tab with a 12-week chart and finish-date estimates for the current book, testament, and whole Bible.
What AI model does Dialoga use?
Dialoga is powered by Anthropic's Claude, a large language model designed for thoughtful, nuanced conversation. Your settings are included in every prompt so responses are tailored to your context. Learn more about how the AI works.
