Ezra Bible App is a modern and user-friendly Bible app focussing on topical study based on keywords/tags.
This program can help you to easily manage your topical verse lists and verse-based notes on your desktop or tablet computer. Ezra Bible App works with SWORD Bible translation modules and therefore enables Bible study in many languages.
It’s powered by Electron and uses SQLite as its database. There is a backend and a frontend. The backend deals with the SWORD API as well as database persistence and settings. The frontend is component-based and uses an event bus for establishing communication between the components in a loosely coupled fashion.
This is free and open source software.
