John 8

Wellspring Study with Scripture, commentary, a dictionary and the atlas open in four panes

One window: the chapter, the commentary on those verses, a dictionary article, and the map.

Zero in

From the chapter to a single Greek word, without losing your place.

Research in most Bible software means opening windows until you forget where you started. Here, every answer opens where you are reading and stacks on top, and dismissing it puts you back exactly where you were.

Click a verse number

Your commentator answers right there. Switch voices from a dropdown, or open all of them side by side.

Click a reference inside the note

The verse previews in place, stacked on what you were reading. Follow a trail five jumps deep, then step back out.

Double-click any word

The Greek or Hebrew behind it appears, every word sharing that lemma lights up across the verse, and the full lexicon article opens beside you.

Back, like a browser

Forward and back arrows remember every verse you visited, so no rabbit trail is ever a dead end.

The reader beside the Word Workbench, with the Greek behind a word and the full lexicon article

Topical threads

Every theme carries a thread. Pull it.

Down the right margin, every verse quietly names its themes. Click one and the thread opens where you are: everywhere that theme runs through Scripture, with each verse previewed one click away.

John 8

Thread tags in the reader margin, with the Light thread open in a popover listing its verses across Scripture

The Light thread, opened from the margin of John 8:12 — its verses run from Genesis to Revelation.

In the margin, not in the way

The tags sit beside the text like a wide-margin Bible, and stay out of the reading until you want them.

Preview without leaving

Every verse in the thread previews in a popover, stacked on the chapter you are reading. Dismiss it and you are back.

Follow it end to end

One click walks the whole thread verse by verse, Genesis to Revelation, with forward and back the whole way.

Truly native to macOS

A real Mac app, and you can feel it.

Most study tools are websites in a frame. Wellspring Study is native code, built only for the Mac, and it behaves like it.

Fast, everywhere

It opens in a blink, search is instant across the whole library, and scrolling stays smooth with six panes open.

Easy on the battery

There is no browser engine idling underneath. Long study sessions on a MacBook stay long.

A Mac interface, not a website

Real panes, tabs and splits you drag where you like, keyboard shortcuts throughout, and your layout is still there tomorrow.

Offline by design

The whole library lives on your Mac. Study on a plane, at a cabin, anywhere, and nothing about your reading is sent anywhere.

Signed and notarized by Apple

Sandboxed, notarized, and quietly self-updating. No account to create and nothing collected.

Updates just arrive

Releases ship most weeks and install themselves quietly. New features are never a new purchase.

Commentaries included

The commentators are already in the box.

The reader with Jamieson-Fausset-Brown answering beside the chapter

Matthew Henry, Albert Barnes, Adam Clarke, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, John Wesley and Vincent ship with the app, linked verse by verse and answering one click beneath the text: 199,869 entries across eighteen commentaries in all.

Gill, Calvin, Poole, Keil & Delitzsch, Scofield, the 1599 Geneva Bible Notes, Burkitt, the People's New Testament, the Catena Aurea and Lightfoot's Talmudic commentary all download in a click, at no extra cost. There is no store inside this app, and there is nothing to unlock later.

And a library besides

Everything a hard verse needs, in the same $19.

24,612

dictionary articles across Easton's, Smith's, Fausset's, Hitchcock's and the ISBE

14,299

Strong's entries, with Thayer's and Brown-Driver-Briggs in full

343,609

cross-references, with topical threads running down the margin

1,335

mapped places on a terrain atlas, with Paul's voyages and the Exodus drawn stop by stop

3,085

people profiled, each linked to every verse they appear in

3,541

Spurgeon sermons a click away, beside Josephus and Foxe's Book of Martyrs

Atlas

Before you buy

The obvious questions.

Is it really one payment?

Yes. There is no subscription and no upgrade fee. $19 during launch, $59 afterwards, and every update after that is included.

What if I do not get on with it?

Email within 30 days and you get your money back, no questions asked. The address is at the bottom of this page.

What does it need?

macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. It is signed and notarized by Apple, and it updates itself quietly.

Which translation?

The King James Version, reproduced faithfully. The commentaries, dictionaries and lexicons are the classic ones, all public domain or Creative Commons and credited in the app.

Does it need the internet?

Only once, to activate your key. After that it runs entirely offline, and the only network call it ever makes is the update check.

How many Macs?

Your key activates up to three, which covers a desktop, a laptop and a spare.

The price goes up on 9 September.

Read it closely.

Buy it during launch and the whole desk is $19 instead of $59. Same app, same updates, forty dollars still in your pocket.

One purchase, the whole desk: every commentary, lexicon, map and update included.
