The history of ABSVD

From the 2000s to the new phase launched in 2026.

2000s — the beginning

The Digital Holy Bible began in the 2000s, created to make Scripture accessible digitally.

It began before today's mobile apps, app stores and cloud computing.

Internet distribution

The app circulated through download portals and different versions, reaching millions of downloads over the years.

A long journey

ABSVD belongs to an important generation in Brazilian internet history.

Interest in the project spanned different phases of the internet.

2026 — a new phase

A new phase of ABSVD begins in 2026. absvd.com.br becomes the official address for this revival.

The aim is to rebuild with modern technology while preserving history alongside product development.

    A new phase for ABSVD+

    absvd.com.br becomes the official address for the project's revival, with the aim of rebuilding the product using current technology.

Digital book curiosities

The author's history records features and suggestions that shaped ABSVD. The new phase reuses ideas without making the current app an exact copy of the old one.

A suggestion became a bookmark

The author's history records the addition of a bookmark suggested by a person who used the app.

ABSVD+ in development revives bookmarks with new ways to save your reading position.

Notes alongside the text

Notes and underlining became part of the digital book, bringing the experience closer to studying on paper.

The new phase develops dedicated tools for notes and highlights.

Leather on screen

According to the author's history, the leather look arrived alongside a study area and Verse Wallet.

The reader in development preserves the cover-and-pages metaphor with a new implementation.

A cover for every reader

The app introduced a choice of cover appearance.

The new phase prepares cover and background customization, depending on the distributed version.

Tips inside the app

The history records a Tip of the Day window created to teach app features.

This site groups tips by task without relying on notifications.

Studies alongside your reading

Backups for underlines, notes and Verse Wallet were revised throughout the project's history.

ABSVD+ in development has a different backup flow; old formats require guided migration.

Historical collection

We are gathering records from different ABSVD phases: interfaces, versions, archived pages and distribution materials.

Once this material is organized and verified, it will be published here.

Two preserved covers can already be seen in the historical gallery.
