10Lists

A steady structure for reading broadly across Scripture without losing your place.

10Lists is inspired by Professor Grant Horner’s ten-list system: one chapter from each of ten lists every day. It preserves the breadth of parallel reading while balancing the lists so very short sections do not dominate the rotation.

The free app includes built-in Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox plans. Today turns the active pattern into a concrete reading list; the reader uses a Bible for the chapters, checks off what is complete, and always knows what comes next.

The optional lifetime Pro upgrade adds Plan Studio: guided custom patterns, per-track starting positions, and intentional breaks. The aim is not to replace Scripture with more content, but to make a serious reading practice sustainable.

The reading method

Breadth without a calendar-shaped trap.

10Lists treats the plan as a repeatable pattern rather than a race toward a date. The structure stays explicit, progress stays factual, and a missed day does not require rewriting the past.

01

Read in parallel

Ten tracks keep different parts of Scripture in view together instead of making one long sequential journey carry the whole reading practice.

02

Balance the rotation

Shorter biblical sections are grouped more evenly, preserving Horner’s broad idea while making the repeated pattern more sustainable.

03

Make tradition explicit

Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox structures are built in from the start rather than treating one canon and book order as an invisible universal default.

Inside the app

A plan that stays legible while life happens.

The interface separates today’s work, the pattern that generates it, and the record of what actually happened. Tap any screen for a closer look.

01

Read today

A concrete list, with context when it helps.

01

Today

The active pattern becomes a clear daily list. Readings can be checked one at a time, with whole-day progress kept visible at the top.

02

Reading context

Opening a reading provides a book introduction before or after the chapter. The app supplies orientation; the Bible remains the place where reading happens.

02

Shape the pattern

Start from a method—or from where reading already is.

Plan Studio

Guided choices cover classic 10Lists, 1-5-1, sequential and five-day reading, genre mixes, and patterns with fewer daily lists.

04

Choose the book

Each track can begin where real reading already is. The picker keeps canon, book groups, and the selected pattern visible rather than reducing them to a flat list.

05

Choose the chapter

A starting position belongs to its own track. Psalms, a main reading, and the Gospels can begin at different places without inventing false progress.

03

Keep an honest record

Progress is history, not something to tidy retrospectively.

06

Progress

Complete, partial, missed, exempt, and upcoming days remain distinct. Past days are read-only facts; planned breaks protect expectations without rewriting them.

The state boundary

A new pattern starts clean. Long-term reading history remains.

Selecting or saving a different pattern starts a new plan run from its configured positions. Ambiguous completion state is not forced into a new structure.

Separately, 10Lists retains a cumulative chapter-level reading ledger. User-owned plans, progress, history, breaks, and settings can be exported and restored as a local JSON backup without requiring an account or cloud service.
