Grace screenshots — reader, dictionary, commentary, notes

A walk through a typical Bible-study session in Grace — the panels, the search and reference tools, the notes editor, and the customizable workspace. All screenshots are from the current Grace beta on Linux; the Windows and macOS builds use the same panel layout.

Grace main window: the Library panel on the left lists installed translations and books; the Reader panel on the right shows a chapter with verse numbers and inline Strong's superscripts. — Library & Reader

The starting view. The Library panel on the left lists every installed translation, dictionary, and commentary. The Reader panel on the right opens whatever you click — chapter view with verse numbers, optional Strong's superscripts, and the same cross-reference and Define right-click menu as the rest of the app.

Grace with the Dictionary dock open beside the Reader: a dictionary entry shows the headword, part of speech, and the 1828 Webster definition; the Reader continues to show the verse the lookup was triggered from. — Dictionary & Reader

Right-click a word in the Reader and pick Define to open the Dictionary dock with the matching entry. Webster 1828 is bundled by default; Webster 1844 and 1913 are one-click installs from the Downloads → Dictionaries dialog. The reader keeps your verse position so you can scan a definition and resume reading without losing place.

Grace with the Search dock active: a search term has been entered, the result list shows verse hits across multiple books, and clicking a hit has jumped the Reader to that verse with the match highlighted. — Search & Reader

The Search dock runs substring, phrase, and regex queries across any combination of installed Bibles. Click a hit and the Reader jumps to that verse with the match flash-highlighted so it's easy to find on screen. The same case-sensitive and mode toggles also drive the Notes search panel — one mental model for finding things anywhere in Grace.

Grace's Notes panel on the left listing notes by folder and tag; the embedded Markdown editor on the right has a note open with a title, tags, body text, and a toolbar for common formatting actions. — Notes & Notes editor

The Notes library lives in plain Markdown files on your disk; the catalog beside it is a rebuildable SQLite index. The embedded editor handles fast capture, tagging, and linking to verses or cross-references; when a note grows into a real document you can hand it off to LibreOffice with one click and come back to the same file when you're done.

Grace with a custom panel layout: multiple docks rearranged side-by-side, the Reader and Commentary stacked, and the Search panel pinned to the bottom — an example of the workspace customization the user can save. — Workspace customization

Every dock is movable, resizable, and tab-stackable. Drag the Reader next to a Commentary, pin Search to the bottom, hide what you don't need, and save the layout to one of three workspace slots. Switch between a "reading" layout and a "study" layout in one click — your two workflows, one app window.
