Simple Worship
Still Under Development
SimpleWorship is a work in progress with no current public release.
If you are a developer, feel free to contribute on github!
SimpleWorship is a free, open source, church presentation software.
The end goal here is a simple, easy to use, and free church presentation software that is cheap to deploy, pluggable for easy extensibility, and easy to use for volunteers to might not be as tech savvy.
Our Motivation
This project was started for two main reasons:
- We were tired of walled garden, proprietary and hard to interact with software for churches.
- As the “technology people” at our churches, we want to be able to automate and simplify workflows, and make it extremely easy for volenteers to
use the software.
- We wanted flexibility and cost savings whenever possible, not relying on proprietary software to have the feature we want, but instead having the ability to, with a little time, add it ourselves.
- We felt compelled to use our tallents to serve the local church, and this is one way we can do that.
1 - Display Clients
Find out about various display clients that can be used with SimpleWorship
Simple Worship Display Clients
By default, simple worship does not actually display any of your slides on its own.
It instead hosts a “display server”, and various display clients can connect to it.
This allows you to have multiple displays, and even multiple types of displays, easily.
Display Clients
Simple Worship Display
solafide-dev/simpleworship-display
This is the most likely display client people coming from another church presentation software will use. When ran on the same machine running SimpleWorship, you can mimic the standard experience of other church presentation software.
It runs on MacOS, Windows, and Linux, and simply opens a window with your slides that can be full-screened.
It leverages the SSDP protocol to automatically find the display server, so you don’t have to configure anything.
Web Display
Because SimpleWorship is built on web technologies, it is possible to use any web browser as a display client.
Simply point your browser to http://<display-server-ip>:7777 to view the slides in your browser. (Replace <display-server-ip> with the IP address of the machine running SimpleWorship)
