Digging Deep: Notetaker Deluxe

Use it without the internet

Digging Deep is a normal web page with no account and no server behind it — every note you write is saved right on your own device. That means it's already built to keep working with no internet connection, as long as you set it up the right way first. Here's the reliable way to do that.

Best on a computer, in Chrome or Edge. Both options below work best in Chrome or Edge on a Mac or PC. On a phone, the "Install it like an app" option still works, but with real limits — see the note under it. Safari on Mac can install the app too, but Chrome/Edge are more reliable for offline caching.

Recommended for computers

Download the file

Click below to save the app itself as a single .html file to your computer — no install, no account, nothing else needed. Works in Chrome or Edge on Mac or PC.

Double-click the downloaded file any time to open it — no internet required for your notes. The first use of a particular Bible translation or dictionary still needs one connection to fetch that piece; after that it's cached and works offline from that file.

Also works

Install it like an app

Digging Deep can also install itself like a real app, with its own icon. Do this once, with a normal internet connection:

Open the app below and let it fully load.
On a computer (Chrome/Edge): click the install icon at the right side of the address bar, or the ⋮ menu → "Install Digging Deep…"
On Android (Chrome): tap the ⋮ menu, then "Install app" (or "Add to Home screen").
On iPhone/iPad (Safari only — not Chrome on iOS): tap the Share icon, then "Add to Home Screen."

After that, open it from its own icon — not from this website — and it will load and save your notes with no connection at all.

On phones, this is less reliable than on a computer: iPhones (and to a lesser extent Android) can clear an installed app's offline storage if it goes unused for a while or the device is low on space, which can mean losing the offline cache (not your notes — those export separately). The first time you use a Bible translation, dictionary, or Strong's lookup, it needs one internet connection to fetch that piece; after that it's cached and works offline.
