Run your church from your phone. Your congregation's right there with you. Psalmly is a church management app made for small churches. Whoever keeps your church going (the pastor, a volunteer, the church office) runs it from the same app your congregation uses to pray, give and keep up. Tap Manage to run your church, or Member view to see it the way everyone else does. RUN YOUR CHURCH • Get people in: show your church's QR code on Sunday, share your join link or invite people by email, then let them in with a tap. You'll know the moment someone asks. • Tell everyone: write an announcement, add a photo, choose who gets it, and send it to their phones and inboxes at once. • Put it on the calendar: add or change an event, see who's coming and read the sign-ups. • See what needs you: people asking to join, messages from your website and reported posts, together on one screen. • See the giving: this month's total and recent gifts. Set up online giving with Stripe right from your phone. • Look after the church: groups and their requests, the prayer board, and Sunday's bulletin, published and emailed. • Start a church: create it, set your service times and publish your church's website, all from your phone. FOR YOUR CONGREGATION • Join your church: scan its QR code, or use the code or link your church gave you. • Stay in the loop: announcements, bulletins and event reminders arrive as notifications, so no one misses church news. • Never miss a gathering: see what's coming up, RSVP in a tap, add events to your calendar and fill out sign-up forms in the app. • Pray together: share a prayer request, anonymously if you'd like, and pray for each other through the week. • Belong to a group: every group has its own space for posts, photos, replies and its schedule. • Give: a one-time or recurring gift, by card or bank, in a couple of taps. Your year-end contribution statement is always a tap away. • Stay connected: a church directory where each person chooses how they appear. • Every church in one place: belong to more than one? Your home screen brings them all together. ON PSALMLY'S PAID PLANS • Scribe, your minute-taker: press Start, lock your phone and set it face down. Psalmly writes up the minutes, the sermon notes or a summary for you to approve and share. • Graphics, your graphic designer: make a graphic for an event or announcement in a few taps, then save it to Photos or put it on the announcement or event. • Ask Psalmly, your church secretary: ask about your church, and have it draft an announcement or event for you to check. Members can ask it too: "When's youth group?" • The books: record Sunday's offering with a photo of the count sheet, and each expense with a photo of the receipt. BUILT FOR SMALL CHURCHES Psalmly is church management software for small churches and the people in them: warm, uncluttered and easy for everyone. The app is free to download. Giving runs on Stripe, and every gift goes straight to your church. Psalmly never holds the money.
