Lyrics, Bible, PowerPoint, announcements and video on the projector, the confidence monitor and the TVs. So simple that any volunteer can run it on their first Sunday.

Illustrative photo made with AI. What you see on the screen is really Proyecta.
Send it to your pastor or your media team. It’s free, so your church can start using it this Sunday.
Here's how it helps your media team, from the moment the doors open to the very last slide.
9:40 Before the service
Proyecta finds the projector and the monitor and opens each one full screen. You already put the service order together during the week.
10:00 Worship
Paste the lyrics, even with chords, and Proyecta splits them up for you in the order you say: V1 C V2 C. The confidence monitor shows the current lyrics, the next ones and the time.
10:40 Scripture reading
Comes with free English Bibles (BSB, KJV and WEB) that work offline, with search by reference or by keyword. Works just as well with a big projector as with a TV in a small church.
10:50 Sermon
Drag in your .pptx and all its slides come in, no need to save it as a PDF. The preacher advances from their phone and sees their notes on the confidence monitor.
11:30 Announcements
The lobby TVs show the same thing over the internet, the livestream gets the lyrics on a transparent background for OBS, and the congregation can follow along on their phones.
The photos are illustrative and were made with AI. What appears on each screen is a real screenshot of Proyecta.
More than 30 moving backgrounds made to sit behind the lyrics: dark where the text goes and lit around the edges. They aren't videos, so they're lightweight and look sharp on any projector.
Everything is included. There's no paid version and no features to unlock.
Connect your Canva account BETA — pick a design, add it to the service, edit it in Canva and update it with one click. It already works in testing; we're waiting for Canva to approve it so any church can connect its account. In the meantime, download your design as PNG or PDF and drag it into Proyecta.
Coming soon for everyoneOn the left, the service order; in the middle, the slides; on the right, what's on screen. Each connected screen can be the projection, a confidence monitor or stay off.
On a stage monitor or a tablet: the lyrics on screen, what's next, the time, the service order, your PowerPoint notes and a sermon timer that turns yellow when there are 5 minutes left. From the panel you can send a note that only they see.
No installers to download and no accounts to create. It installs from the browser and works like any other program, with its own icon.
Go to this page on the computer that's connected to the projector and click “Open Proyecta”.
In Proyecta tap the Settings gear and then "Install Proyecta" (a button also appears in the address bar). It stays on your desktop and in your apps.
From then on it works without a connection. When a new version comes out, Proyecta lets you know and updates with one click.
What you need: a Windows, Mac, Linux or Chromebook computer, an up-to-date Chrome or Edge browser, and the projector connected in “Extend” display mode. If you only have one screen, use “Project here” and control it from your phone.
Using a Mac? Use Chrome or Edge. It also works in Safari, but Safari can't see the connected screens: you'd have to drag the window to the projector by hand and couldn't use the automatic confidence monitor.
Nothing. No paid version, no ads, no accounts. Proyecta is open source: anyone can use it, review it and improve it.
Only to open it the first time and install it. After that, everything connected by cable (projector, stage display) works offline, even if the router loses power. Wireless features do need internet: the phone as a remote, TVs by code, lyrics on the congregation's phones and the OBS layer. If a phone can't connect on mobile data, put it on the same Wi-Fi as the computer.
Yes. On a Mac, open Proyecta in Chrome or Edge and it works just like on Windows: it finds the projector and the monitor and puts each one in full screen. It also works in Safari, but Safari can't see the connected screens, so you'd have to drag the window to the projector by hand. Proyecta lets you know if you open it in Safari.
On your own computer, inside the browser. Nothing is uploaded to the internet. To send a service to another computer, go to Services and tap “Share”: you get a file you can send by WhatsApp or email, with songs, passages and images included. To move your whole library, use “Export backup” in Settings.
If you clear the browser's data, what you saved is erased too, so make a backup every now and then.
You can type or import any lyrics you like. But almost all worship songs are copyrighted, and to project them your church needs a license (CCLI's, for example). That's why Proyecta doesn't include copyrighted lyrics: it comes with public-domain hymns and lets you enter your license number, which appears with the credits on the first and last slide of each song.
Your church not charging anything doesn't change this: copyright protects lyrics even when there's no profit, and handing out lyrics inside a program would be copying them without permission. In English, Proyecta comes with a catalog of 270 public-domain hymns you can search and add.
Yes. Proyecta imports SongSelect (.txt and .usr), ProPresenter 6 (.pro6), FreeShow (.show), OpenLyrics (.xml, the OpenLP format), ChordPro and plain text. If you paste lyrics with chords, it removes them for you. You can pick many files at once.
Yes. In Settings → Connections you sign in with your Planning Center account, just once. Then, from the order of service, you choose Sunday's plan: Proyecta brings in the songs with their lyrics and order (V1 C V2), uses the ones you already have and recognizes readings like "John 3:16". If your team changes the plan, one button updates it.
In English: the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), the King James Version (KJV) and the World English Bible (WEB). They're free, download with one click and work offline. There are free Bibles in Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi and Indonesian too. Proyecta also connects to YouVersion to bring in the versions YouVersion authorizes, with each publisher's permission: those are searched online, and whatever you add to the service is saved to use offline. If your version isn't there, copy it from Logos or another app and paste it: Proyecta detects the reference, the version and the verses. If your church has the file with permission (Zefania XML or JSON), you can import it too.
Because they're copyrighted, and each publisher decides who can use them. Proyecta can bring them in through YouVersion once the publisher authorizes Proyecta; in the meantime, in Add → Bible → YouVersion you'll see which ones are already authorized and which are waiting for permission. If your church has them in Logos or another app, copy the passage and paste it into Proyecta.
PowerPoint: drag in the .pptx file as is. Proyecta turns each slide into an image right there, offline, and the speaker notes show up on the confidence monitor. Animations and videos don't carry over; if your presentation depends on them, add the video separately. Keynote: its format is closed, so in Keynote use File → Export To → PowerPoint (or PDF) and add that file. Google Slides: File → Download → PowerPoint. HTML presentations are projected as they are, with their animations and steps.
Download the presentation template, change the text and save it. It has slides with steps, a timer and notes for the preacher. With that format, Proyecta shows you the slide list, what's next and the timer. Any other HTML page can be projected too, but you advance without seeing the list.
In Add → Announcements, drag in your images or a PDF. Choose how many seconds each one lasts and they play on their own, before and after the service. They stay saved: next Sunday you just tap “Put in the service”.
Yes. Today, without connecting anything: in Canva, tap Share → Download. For announcements choose PNG; if the design has several pages, Canva downloads a .zip file that you drag into Proyecta as is. For a presentation choose PDF or PowerPoint.
Connecting your Canva account to bring in your designs with one click is still in beta: it's built, but Canva has to approve it and until then it doesn't work with churches' accounts. We'll let you know in the news when it's open. For now, use the download-and-drag way.
Anything your browser can play: MP4, WebM and most MOV files. They're saved on your computer and play offline.
Yes. Presentation remotes send the arrow keys or Page Up and Page Down, and Proyecta understands them. The black-screen button works too, and the “start presentation” button no longer reloads the page by accident. B or period blacks out the screen, C clears the text and L shows the logo.
There are three ways. If your computer already sees the TV as a second screen (Miracast on Windows with the Windows + K keys, or AirPlay on a Mac as a “separate display”), Proyecta uses it like a normal projector. With Chromecast you can use “Cast to Chromecast”. And any TV or tablet with a browser can go to the /tv address of this site, show a code and receive the projection over the internet.
Yes. In Settings → Live stream you choose the background and style. For OBS, Streamlabs or vMix create the link and paste it as a browser source: the song lyrics and passages appear at the bottom, with a transparent background, over your camera. If you use a switcher like ATEM or Roland, choose "Stream" on the screen that goes to the switcher and it comes out on green for the chroma key.
Open Proyecta, build your service and connect the projector. No sign-up, no payment and no need for internet.
Proyecta is open source under the MIT license. If you know how to code, download it, look through it and help us make it better for churches everywhere.
