YouVersion Bible App Clone

YouVersion Bible App clone · Bible app · built by the Vibecode team

This rebuilds the YouVersion Bible App with its real name, dark look and words. Home opens on the Verse of the Day over a landscape photo, with Guided Scripture, Guided Prayer and today's plan below. The Bible tab reads all 66 books in KJV or WEB: tap verses to highlight them in six colours, add notes and bookmarks, compare versions, or press the speaker to hear the chapter read aloud as the text follows along. Plans have a day strip and daily checklist that ends in Day Complete, Discover has topic tiles and plan rows, and Community shows friends' notes and prayers.

Prompt · 755 words

Build a polished native iOS clone of the YouVersion Bible App ("Bible" by Life.Church) in SwiftUI: Home with the Verse of the Day, a full Bible reader with highlights, notes, bookmarks, an audio Bible and full-text search, reading plans with daily checklists, Discover topics, Guided Prayer and a Community feed.

It is YouVersion on screen, dark by default: near-black #121212 with #1F1F1F cards, white text, accent red #FF3D4D, a grotesk UI font (SF) and a book serif (New York) for scripture. Its own words: "Today", "Community", "Verse of the Day", "Expand", "Guided Scripture", "Develop a rhythm of reflection.", "Guided Prayer", "Enter into a conversation with your creator.", "Day 3 of 7", "1 Missed Day", "Participants", "Start Reading", "Versions", "Recently Used", "Switch Narrator", "Search by Topic", "New to Faith", "Trending Plans", "Add Friend", "Mutual Friends". The user is Daniel Reyes. Scripture is public domain only: bundle the full KJV and WEB (all 66 books, from eBible.org) compressed in the app, with paragraph breaks.

RULES
Everything persists in SwiftData (highlights, notes, bookmarks, plan progress). Seed demo data relative to today and slide it forward each launch so it never looks stale. Plans, devotionals and people are original and fictional; photos are generated. Draw the app icon in code style, never ship the company's files.

REMIX-READY
Brand/Theme.swift for name, words, colours, fonts; Data/Fixtures.swift and Data/PlanFixtures.swift for content; Resources/*.bible for scripture; small feature files; README.md; DemoScript launch args (-DemoTour, -DemoScreen, -ResetDemo).
