Desktop Scriptures is an unofficial, offline-first desktop reader for the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, Journal of Discourses, Lectures on Faith, and the Joseph Smith Translation - with personal notes, tags, verse highlighting, a searchable Journal, keyword search, a Topical Guide, General Conference citations, cloud-folder sync, and a handful of opt-in extras.
This wiki covers setup and configuration for anything beyond "install and start reading" - the app itself explains most day-to-day features inline (tooltips, menu labels, etc.), so these pages focus on the parts that benefit from a walkthrough: connecting your own AI endpoint, setting up sync, the Journal, and the opt-in extras.
- Installation - installing the Snap, first launch
- AI Integration - connecting your own AI endpoint for AI-assisted search
- Sync - keeping your notes, tags, and highlights in sync across devices
- Landing Page Extras - Church News, Come Follow Me, and Inspirational Message
- Journal - one searchable entry per day, optionally linked to a passage
- General Conference Reminder - an opt-in heads-up before Conference starts
Nothing in this app talks to the network unless you specifically turn it on. Reading, notes, tags, highlighting, the Journal, search, and the Topical Guide are all fully offline, always. Sync, the three landing-page extras (Church News, Come Follow Me, Inspirational Message), and the General Conference reminder are each their own opt-in toggle, off by default - see their pages above for exactly what each one does when enabled.
