About Grace

Grace is a free, open-source desktop application for biblical research. It runs locally on your computer, stores your data on your computer, and never sends anything anywhere unless you explicitly ask it to.

Goals

• Free for every use — personal, academic, congregational, and commercial — with no paid tier and no usage gates.
• Open source under Apache-2.0, with all dependencies vetted for OSI-approved, royalty-free licenses.
• Local-first: no account required, no data leaves your machine without an explicit click.
• Cross-platform: Linux (Ubuntu/Debian/Mint, Flatpak), Windows 10/11, macOS 12+.

What's bundled vs. what's optional

The default install ships with everything you need to start studying:

• King James Version (KJV) Bible text.
• Webster's 1828 dictionary.
• Strong's numbers + morphological apparatus.
• Cross-references and the embedded Markdown notes editor.

From the in-app Downloads menu you can add (all optional, all free):

• Additional public-domain English translations (ASV, BBE, and more from BibleSuperSearch).
• Additional dictionaries (Webster 1844, Webster 1913).
• Clarke's commentary plus five additional CrossWire-sourced commentaries and reference works.
