Worship presentation,
without the extra weight.

Features

The Sunday essentials,
nothing you don't need.

Lite keeps the presentation workflow churches rely on — lyrics, Bible, service flow, and live output — while leaving out streaming, video, and band-monitor tooling.

✝️
Bible Module
Search by reference (John 3:16) or keyword and project instantly. Import full translation files and use dual-language projection.
🎨
Per-Line Typography
Every lyric line can have its own font, size, color, weight, alignment, letter-spacing, caps, and shadow.
⚡
Live Controls
Go Live, Black, Clear, and Logo — all accessible by keyboard shortcut. → next, ← prev, B black, C clear.
📋
Liturgy & Flow Planning
Plan your order of service and follow it live — songs, prayers, announcements, and readings in sequence.
📖
Your Own Local Library
Build your song library with full lyric editing, custom themes per song, and import from popular sources. Everything stays local.
📄
PDF Presenter
Open any PDF and project it live. Annotate with pen, highlighter, text, and eraser while the congregation sees the clean output.
⛪
Church Branding
Upload your church logo and set your church name on the idle screen — no default branding, just yours.
🎭
Media Screens
Welcome slides, announcements, tables, image slideshows, and timers — for everything beyond song lyrics.
