DisplayWord
DisplayWord is worship presentation software for Christian churches, from small gatherings to congregations with worship teams and auditorium setups. It runs on Windows 10/11 and macOS, with browser screens available on phones and tablets, and can operate fully offline. The free Church edition includes a hall screen, Bible search by passage or text, up to three translations at once, sermon plans, a song library and editor, media and backgrounds, and printable chord sheets. The editor supports chords within lyrics, vocalist-specific keys, and automatic transposition. Connect adds stage and preacher screens, live modulation, and musician cues that can be customized. Team adds browser-based musician screens, tablet setlist and sermon preparation, multi-device screen control, and laptop sync; those browser screens use the local network and need neither internet nor an app installation. Church is free. Connect costs $24 a month and Team costs $48 a month, each billed monthly and cancellable anytime. Every edition includes Team features for 60 days after installation. DisplayWord calls itself a pilot product and invites email reports, prioritizing problems that interrupt services.
