Paper plans work — until you miss a day
A printed plan is a good start. The trouble usually comes in February: a busy week, three unticked boxes, then six, and the plan quietly ends. By The Water has this exact plan built in, and it is designed for the days life gets in the way.
- Today's reading, readyOpen the app and today's chapters are waiting on the Today tab. No hunting for where you left off.
- Every chapter tracked and savedEach chapter you read is checked off and saved to your account, so a new phone doesn't mean starting over.
- See how far you've comeA progress ring shows how much of the Bible you've read, and how far through the current book you are.
- A finish date that moves with you“Started Jan 2027 · Estimated finish: Dec 2027” updates as you read, so you always know where you stand.
- Miss a day without falling apartThe plan picks up at your next unread chapter, not a calendar date — so a missed week never becomes a wall of overdue readings.
- Reminders and streaksA daily reminder at the time you choose, and a reading streak to keep you coming back.
Free to start: the reading plans, progress tracking, streaks and reminders are all free in the app.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start a Bible reading plan in September?
Yes. Begin at Day 1 on any date and follow the day numbers rather than the calendar. In the By The Water app the plan starts wherever you begin and gives you an estimated finish date.
What do I read on September 1, 2027?
For a January 1 start: Bible in a Year — Psalms 142–144; Chronological — Ezekiel 39–40; Cover to Cover — Ezekiel 14–16; New to the Bible — Isaiah 7–9.
How do I catch up if I fall behind in September?
Don't try to double up for a week. Pick up at your next unread reading and let the finish date move a little, or add one extra chapter a day until you're back. In the app the plan resumes at your next unread chapter automatically.
