Eloquent is a free, open-source Bible study application for macOS developed as part of the CrossWire Sword Project. It allows users to read and browse Bible translations in multiple languages and versions, along with commentaries, dictionaries, and lexicons. The app supports advanced features such as text search and system-wide services for accessing Bible content from other applications. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community, confirming the project's continued development.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Eloquent is now available. You can download the current version directly from SourceForge at sourceforge.net/projects/macsword/, where the official download page will serve the Universal Binary on M-series Macs. Simply download and install as you normally would — your existing library data, bookmarks, and text modules will carry over without any manual migration. If you originally installed from the Mac App Store, check the App Store for updates instead. Expect better performance and battery life during Bible study sessions compared to running the older Intel build under Rosetta.
