HITHERTO
Keep track of the ground you've covered.
HITHERTO is a Bible reading tracker. Read in your own Bible; HITHERTO keeps count of the verses you've read and gives you a visual way to see your progress through Scripture.
About HITHERTO
Made for the way you use it.
HITHERTO is built around a simple distinction: it does not provide Scripture text. You read from the Bible you already use, then mark your progress in HITHERTO. Its name comes from 1 Samuel 7:12: “Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.”
Mark at your own pace
Mark a chapter as read, or open it to select individual verses. Jump back to your last marked place.
Progress with context
See whole-Bible, Old Testament, and New Testament totals, alongside shelves that fill as you read.
