Toolbar
The quickest entry points: open the sidebar, pin for fast toggle, silence the extension on a given site, or jump to Options.
- Click the Logos Link icon in the toolbar to open the sidebar.
- Pin the extension (click the puzzle-piece icon → pin icon next to Logos Link) so the toolbar button is always visible and you can toggle it on or off with one click.
- Right-click the icon to disable Logos Link on the current website. Useful when a site’s own link-preview (e.g. Wikipedia) conflicts with ours.
- Choose Options from the right-click menu to customize default behavior — detection, tooltips, intercepts, citation formats, and Logos product links.

New Tab
Open a new tab and Chrome lands on a Bible-study launchpad — a daily Verse of the Day, a single search field that figures out what you mean, and one-click tiles into Logos.
- Verse of the Day sits at the top with one-click Read, Explain, Ask, and Study actions — jump into the reader, ask Study Assistant to explain it, ask your own question about it, or open it in Factbook.
-
Smart Search in the middle figures out what
you mean: type a passage like
Romans 8:28to open the reader; type a question likeWhat is justification?to send it to Study Assistant; type anything else to run a Logos library search. - Quick-launch tiles below the search field jump you into your preferred Bible, Study Assistant, a random Factbook entry, the Logos store, or the side panel.
- Five themes live in the bottom-left corner — White, Light, Medium, Deep, Dark. Pick one; it applies across the whole extension.
- Prefer something else? In Settings → New Tab, switch to a minimal layout (search field only) or redirect the new tab to a URL of your choice.

Sidebar
The browsing interface for everything Logos Link detected on the current page. Three tabs, each with filtering, sorting, copy-out, and deep-link actions.
- The sidebar is organized around three reference groups: Verses, Topics, and Books.
- Each tab has a filter box to quickly find an item detected on the current page.
-
The Verses tab also lets you type in any Bible
reference and instantly get the text — e.g.
John 3:16orRom 8:28–30. - Each list matches page order by default. You can switch to canonical order for Verses, or alphabetical for Topics and Books.
- Navigate through the list with up/down arrow buttons in the status bar — the page scrolls to the matching location as you step through.
- Click the “scroll to on page” button on any card to jump the page to that item’s location.
- Copy out any list in various formats — plain text, Markdown, formatted citations. Defaults are configurable in Settings and exposed per-tab via the Copy dropdown.
- Jump into Logos from any item: open in your Bible, open in Factbook, run a search, or Ask Study Assistant a question with the item already attached as context.
- When Logos Link recognizes a book on the page and your library has it, the Books tab adds an Open in Logos button that drops you straight into that book.
- Persistent links to open the web app or desktop app live at the bottom of the sidebar.

Page content
The core of the product: Logos Link silently detects biblical content on the pages you read. Three specific contexts to try.
Web articles
- Go to a page like this Desiring God article — dense in Bible references, theology terms, and biblical entities.
- Hover over an underlined Bible reference, topic, Greek/Hebrew word, or book to see a preview tooltip. Click the link to open the sidebar to that item: the right tab, scrolled to the right card.
- Click a link in the tooltip to launch Logos — open a Bible, open Factbook, run a search, or Ask Study Assistant a question about whatever the tooltip is showing.
Google Search
-
Run a Google search for
John 3:16, then click the Bible Gateway result. Logos Link intercepts the click and reroutes it toapp.logos.com, so the reference opens in the Logos web app instead of Bible Gateway.
Book PDPs
- Visit any Amazon book PDP — or a publisher’s book page — and look for the toast in the bottom-right corner that searches for the book on Logos.com.

What I’m looking for
There are known bugs and polish gaps I haven’t gotten to yet. Feel free to report anything, but I’m most interested in whether the core idea earns a place in your workflow — and where it falls short of that.
Where to send feedback. Please reply in the Logos community forum thread where you found this link. If it’s a detection bug, the page URL plus the reference / term / book that was missed is plenty. Big-picture reactions welcome too.
