M'Cheyne · Bible in a Year

Why we built it
Two teenagers, a café, and a Monday night.

Ekko grew out of a real small group in N.Ireland. We wanted to read together, but every app we tried was difficult to use or forced us into reading other churches devotionals. So we created Ekko!

Listen as you read

Audio playback for hands-free study on the go.

Full screen mode

Beautiful UI

We've obsessed over the small details, from the font size slider and full screen mode to moving to the next chapter — even change which page the app opens on each time.

Light & dark mode

Comfortable reading whether it's morning or midnight.

Sync everywhere

Pick up on mobile or desktop, right where you left off.

Be reminded to read each day.

Offline mode

When you have no signal the app automatically points you to an offline Bible (KJV / ASV / WEB). Any notes or highlights are synced when you are back online. We cannot offer ESV / NIV / MSG offline due to licensing restrictions.

Devotionals, optional

Add a devotional like Our Daily Bread, or read straight Scripture — your call.
