Origo opens the Bible in its original Hebrew, Greek, and Latin — every word parsed, defined, and honestly compared across translations. The scholarship of a lifetime, in your browser, free.
Not another translation app. Origo starts where the Bible starts — the ancient languages — and shows you exactly how every English word was reached.
Hebrew, Greek (LXX) and Latin (Vulgate) for all of Genesis 1 — tap any word for its lemma, parsing, Strong's number, and sourced definitions.
Lay 15 versions side by side and see a transparent fidelity score — how closely each tracks the source, with the method shown, never hidden.
Search a word or a concept — "wife," "light," "creation" — and it expands to related terms across every text, even matching by meaning in the original.
Every word drawer carries sense-grouped synonyms and antonyms beside the definitions, so you grasp the full range of a word's meaning.
An objective engine scores attestation and consistency by the same rubric for every text — the Bible included. The data speaks for itself.
Every gloss, note and score is open to Wikipedia-style revision, with citations. Scholarship in the open, accountable to the sources.
Origo is given freely because the Word should not sit behind a paywall. There are no ads, no accounts, and nothing to buy. What it costs to build — research, data, hosting — we fund by inviting generosity, never by charging for access.
In much of the world, reading Scripture can put a person at risk. So Origo is built to know nothing about you. No account, no email, no sign-in — nothing that could identify you, and nothing that could ever be leaked, sold, subpoenaed, or used for marketing of any kind: not for profit, not for philanthropy, not even for evangelism.
No login, no email, no profile. You never tell us who you are, so we can never say — to anyone.
No analytics, no cookies, no ads, no fingerprinting, no third-party scripts. We don't log what you read; there is nothing to log.
The text and every analysis run locally in your browser. The page carries a strict security policy (CSP) that forbids any third-party request — no tracker, no analytics, no external call. It speaks only to its own origin, and only to cache itself for offline. Privacy enforced, not just promised.
Origo is a single self-contained page — which makes it unusually resilient where access is restricted or censored.
Install it once and read with no connection — vital where networks are monitored or cut. Origo ships as an installable app (PWA) that works fully offline.
It's one file: pass it by USB, send it as an attachment, or mirror it anywhere. There is no central server to take down.
Planned mirrors on IPFS and a Tor onion service, plus a downloadable offline bundle, so it stays reachable behind firewalls.
Add Origo to your desktop or home screen as a standalone app (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) today; signed native installers are on the roadmap. Or just save the single file and open it anywhere, offline.
Where possessing Scripture is dangerous, you can turn on an optional discreet mode: the text saved on your device is encrypted, locked behind a passphrase you choose, and the app can wear any name and icon you give it.
Scripture cached for offline reading is encrypted (AES-256) with a key derived from your passphrase. A casual search of the phone finds a locked, ordinary-looking app — not a readable Bible.
Call it "Notes," "Recipes," anything — and upload your own icon. Your choice shows on the home screen, the browser tab, and the lock screen. Default stays Origo Codex.
Nothing appears until you enter your passphrase. There is no recovery — only you hold the key — so a forgotten passphrase means re-downloading, by design.
About 1.3 billion adults have no bank account, and by some measures roughly half the world's adults are underbanked — or quietly de-banked, cut off from the system the rest of us take for granted. Sending help across a border still costs 6–7% and takes days. Bitcoin settles anywhere on earth in seconds, for cents, with no gatekeeper — exactly what you need to receive a gift, or send help, in the moment it matters. That's why Origo both accepts and gives in Bitcoin.
"A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight" (Proverbs 11:1). Bitcoin is a fixed, un-inflatable measure — no hidden debasement, no thumb on the scale.
Peer-to-peer settlement crosses every border. We can send help directly to a person in Congo, Iran, North Korea, China or Russia — no bank, no gatekeeper deciding who is allowed to receive a gift.
You give — and then, usually, silence. In most philanthropy you simply can't see how much reached a person versus overhead, whether it arrived at all, or where it truly went. Here every gift and every disbursement is written to a public ledger, each linked to its on-chain transaction. You don't have to trust us — you can check.
We pledge to give the majority of earnings over time to philanthropy, and to publish the totals. Giving here is cheerful and optional — a gift from the heart, never a required tithe.
Frozen accounts, disasters, refugees, hostile borders. Final settlement in seconds, 24/7/365, means a gift can arrive — and help can be sent back — when a bank line or a wire cut-off would otherwise say no. The same rail that lets the unbanked give lets us give to the unbanked.
"Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his deed" (Proverbs 19:17). Peer-to-peer means the gift reaches the person — no middleman skimming, no gatekeeper deciding who deserves to receive.
You shouldn't have to simply trust where the money goes — you should help decide, and be able to verify. Give to a cause below and your gift is also a public, on-chain vote for it, weighted by amount. Anyone can check each cause's total on the blockchain; no one has to take our word for it.
Each cause has its own public Bitcoin & Lightning address.
Your gift supports that cause and counts as a weighted, undeniable vote — recorded on-chain forever.
Once lean operating costs are met, the large majority of net gifts flows to these causes in the proportion you all voted.

Keeps Origo free, private, and running — servers, data, development.
Origo Codex went live today as a free, early alpha — built by hand, given away freely, asking nothing to use. If it has blessed you and you'd like to say thank you, a gift here goes directly to the founder(s): to support them and their families, and to keep this a labor of love rather than a cost they quietly carry alone. It is entirely optional and separate from the causes above — this one simply supports the people building it.
“Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.”Galatians 6:6
Not sure which to choose? A gift here joins the general fund — operating costs first, then distributed to the causes above by the community vote. Optional, cheerful, never a required tithe.
“...God loves a cheerful giver.”2 Corinthians 9:7
Origo hides nothing. The original texts are public domain, every gloss, note and score traces back to a cited source, and the method behind each number is published — so you can verify the work rather than take it on trust.
Hebrew (Leningrad / WLC), Greek (SBLGNT), the Latin Vulgate, Strong's, and STEPBible's open lexicons — all open-licensed and credited, so anyone can trace a word back to its root.
The scoring and comparison methodology is written down and public, so every figure Origo shows can be checked, questioned, and reproduced — not taken on authority.
Everything runs locally from static files — nothing phones home. There's no data-collecting backend to trust in the first place.
Built on CC-BY and public-domain sources. A documented open dataset and developer tools may follow once the project is established; for now, please point others to Origo as the source rather than redistributing copies.
Yes — completely, and always will be. No ads, no account, nothing to buy, no paywalled features. Donations are entirely optional and simply help us keep building and giving.
No. Origo runs in your browser. Open it and start reading — nothing to sign up for, nothing to download.
The original Hebrew (Masoretic), Greek (Septuagint) and Latin (Vulgate), word by word, alongside 15 versions across several languages. Genesis 1 is complete in all three originals; John 1 and further books are on the way.
The method is symmetric: the same metrics score every text on the same terms — the Bible included. Where its own tradition is contested, Origo flags it with the same honesty. Objectivity is neutrality of method, not of conclusion. We let the data speak.
An honest, un-inflatable measure (Proverbs 11:1); a way to reach anyone across any border without a gatekeeper; and a public ledger so every gift and disbursement can be documented. See Why we accept Bitcoin for the full reasoning — including an honest caveat.
Ongoing development, original-language research, and philanthropy — with a pledge to give the majority of earnings over time to charitable causes. Every movement of funds is published in the app's public fund-flow monitor, linked to its on-chain transaction.
Yes. Every gloss, note, translation choice and score is open to Wikipedia-style revision with citations. Good scholarship should be accountable to its sources and open to correction.
No — none of it. No accounts, no email, no cookies, no analytics, no ads. Nothing that could identify you, and nothing you read leaves your device (the page is built to make no network calls at all). For some readers that isn't a preference but a matter of safety, and we take it seriously.
Yes. Origo's texts, glosses and scores are an open dataset with a documented schema you can download and reuse, with a privacy-preserving, keyless read-only API planned. See Open & for developers.
Because Origo is free and open, anyone can copy and rebrand it — that's expected. What can't be faked is authenticity: the official donation addresses are GPG-signed and provable by a message signed with the wallet's own key, the canonical build is content-addressed (a fixed IPFS hash), and the project keeps a continuous public fund-flow ledger a copycat can't replicate. Always verify the address against the signed list on the canonical site before giving. See the security notes.
