A prompt to build your own version of YouVersion Bible

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your YouVersion Bible-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for people who want a calm daily Bible reading habit. The home screen should show today's reading, progress in a sample reading plan, and a button to continue reading. Let me choose a book and chapter, adjust the reading text size, and mark a daily reading complete. Save progress on the device. Let me select a verse and turn it into an image with a choice of simple backgrounds and text styles, then share it with the iPhone share sheet. Use warm cream backgrounds, dark text, and muted blue accents with clear, large type. Include realistic sample chapters from a public-domain Bible translation and a sample reading plan. Keep this first version focused on reading, plan progress, and verse images.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.
