MacSword is a free and open source Bible program for OS X. MacSword is also based on the Sword Project making it compatible with all the texts the Sword Project has put together. When I became the owner of a Mac computer the first thing I looked for was replacement for E-Sword. In my search I found MacSword 1. Version 1 work well for reading but lack many of the features that made E-Sword such a great program. As some have said "beggars can't be choosers" so MacSword became my default bible app even with all it lacked. Last May I discovered MacSword 2 was in the works and from then on I used the Beta builds of MacSword 2. Finally MacSword 2 was released but still it lacked a nice note taking feature. January 8th saw the release of 2.1 this release includes Notes.
If you are looking for a Bible application for OS X you will want to check out MacSword. If version 1 left you disappointed I think version 2 will make up for it. The developer has put together a nice tour showing off all the features. The tour includes a screencast and many screenshots. Take the tour here: http://www.macsword.com/tour/
