Content library

Optional text collections you can add to Grace — large, Public-Domain works that are too big to ship inside the application download itself. Everything here is free, with a published SHA-256 so you can verify your copy.

Grace already ships with a core set of Bibles, dictionaries, commentaries, and books. The items below are extra: download a .sqlite file, drop it into the matching per-user folder, and it appears in the app's Downloads → Books… (or the matching) dialog as installed. The app still makes no network calls on startup — this is a one-shot manual add.

Verifying a download

Each available file publishes a SHA-256. Recompute it and compare — if the values differ, delete and re-download.

Linux / macOS:

shasum -a 256 anf.sqlite

Windows PowerShell:

Get-FileHash .\anf.sqlite -Algorithm SHA256

Adding content to Grace

Download the .sqlite file above.
Move it into the per-user folder shown in its Install note — by default under your Documents folder, for example ~/Documents/Grace/Books/ for books or ~/Documents/Grace/Commentaries/ for commentaries on Linux/macOS (Documents\Grace\… on Windows). You can change these folders in Settings → Preferences → Paths.
Flatpak: use the same ~/Documents/Grace/… folders — the Flatpak ships with the xdg-documents permission so they work like the .deb. Do not copy files into the Flatpak's install directory; that bundled data is read-only and is erased on every update.
Open Grace and choose the matching Downloads dialog (Books…, Commentaries…, or Dictionaries…). The new title appears as Available (user folder) — no further download needed.
Read it from the matching side-dock the same as the bundled titles; a verse-synced commentary like Matthew Henry follows the verse you are reading.

More collections — additional commentaries, dictionaries, and sermon sets — will appear here as they are prepared. Most of Grace's content is already bundled with the application; this page hosts only the optional large extras.
