Command line Available now

Everything in Carrell, from your terminal.

The carrell command does what the apps do. Read and search the Bible, highlight verses and write notes, keep sermons, photos and notes in your library, and ask questions that cite their sources.

It signs in with your Carrell account and works on the same library as your iPhone and Mac, so a verse you highlight in the terminal shows in the margin on your phone.

$ carrell read "rom 8:28"
Romans 8:28 (KJV)
 28  And we know that all things work together for
     good to them that love God…  [yellow]

In your library:

Saved the note on Romans 8:28

$ carrell ask "How does 8:28 fit the chapter?" --at "rom 8:28"
