About the Project
rfrmd.com is a free Progressive Web App built for believers who want a simple, distraction-free way to read Scripture every day. It provides a full Bible reader with three translations, a daily reading plan based on Robert Murray M'Cheyne's one-year schedule, a guided Psalm prayer tool that walks through all 150 Psalms each month, and a growing library of Reformed articles and reading notes.
The site is rooted in the Reformed tradition and the theology of the Westminster Standards, but it is built for ordinary believers: families reading together at the dinner table, individuals praying on the morning commute, students studying a passage over lunch. There are no ads, no subscriptions, no paywalls, and no tracking.
rfrmd.com installs to your phone or tablet's home screen and works like a native app, with full offline support for the ASV and KJV translations and intelligent caching for the ESV.
What It Can Do
Choose between the ESV, ASV, or KJV. The ASV and KJV are stored on your device and work fully offline, even without an internet connection.
A standard card layout organized by testament, and a compact color-coded grid showing all 66 books grouped by biblical category.
Search the full text of the ASV or KJV by word or phrase. Narrow results by book, testament, or category. Matching text is highlighted in yellow.
Psalms render verse-per-line in ASV/KJV to reflect Hebrew poetry. Toggle this on or off in Site Settings.
A bottom strip tracks your recent chapters as tappable pills. Pin up to five chapters for quick cross-referencing during sermons or study.
Tap any verse number to attach a note. Use the freeform notepad for chapter-level thoughts. Browse all your notes in a collapsible outline organized by Bible section.
Download all your notes as a portable JSON file and import them on another device. Importing merges with existing notes without overwriting.
Enable "Remember Bible position" and the reader reopens to the exact book and chapter you were last reading.
Four Scripture chapters each day following Robert Murray M'Cheyne's plan, split into Family Worship (read aloud together) and Personal Devotion (private study).
Mark chapters as read and watch your streak counter climb. Complete both readings in a group each day to keep the streak going.
Navigate to past or future days. Read ahead if you like, or go back to catch up on anything missed.
Walk through all 150 Psalms each month, organized by day. Each day pairs a set of Psalms with a suggested prayer theme.
Tap any Psalm number to open the full text right on the page in your chosen translation. No need to leave the guide.
Search by title, description, or full body text. Matching text is highlighted in orange on the article page.
Star any article card to pin it to a Favorites section at the top of the Library for quick access.
Chapter-by-chapter notes on Reformed books by authors like William Perkins, Michael Horton, Gary Everhard, and Jeremiah Burroughs.
Add rfrmd.com to your home screen and use it like a native app. On iPhone: Share, then "Add to Home Screen." On Android: menu, then "Install app."
The Daily Reader and Psalm Prayer Guide cache upcoming ESV readings in the background, so they remain available if you lose your connection.
Choose your default landing page, adjust reader font size, show or hide reading streaks, toggle poetic Psalms, and control release note popups.
If the site feels stuck after an update, "Clear and Reload" forces a fresh download without removing your settings, favorites, or streaks.
Support This Project
rfrmd.com is a personal labor of love, not a business. There are no ads, no subscriptions, no paywalls, and no tracking. Every article, tool, and Bible resource on this site is free and always will be.
That said, there are real costs involved in keeping it running: hosting, domain registration, development tools, and possible future expanded ESV API access or additional Bible translations. These are paid out of pocket because the work is worth doing.
If this site has been useful to you, and if you feel led to help offset some of those costs, you are welcome to contribute any amount you wish. There is no expectation, no suggested minimum, and no obligation whatsoever. A kind note is just as encouraging as anything else.
