c-SPOT

Overview

c-SPOT is a free, open-source service-planning application for small churches. It organizes Sunday and midweek services and other events, including orders of service, staff, resources, songs, and event details. Song materials can include lyrics, scores, and guitar chords, with OnSong format for musicians. Songs and other items can be shown as slides, including offline from a local cache; presentations can be controlled by a casting device such as Chromecast or a synced smartphone. Role-based permissions govern changes and access to some information, and users can communicate by email or internal messages. The project tracks song use for CCLI reporting and links to SongSelect. It runs on the web and listed desktop and mobile platforms, or can be hosted on a user's own web host. Self-hosting calls for console access, Composer, Git, a database, and configured mail-server connectivity. The responsive web interface requires an up-to-date browser and JavaScript. Synchronized lyrics, chords, or sheet music across devices work only on Apache servers.
