Stage Performer is built for musicians, bands, worship teams, DJs and live performers who need reliable show control on stage. Create song libraries, organise setlists and books, add scrolling lyrics, attach backing tracks and prepare MIDI cues for foot pedals and connected gear. In performance mode, Stage Performer keeps the live screen focused on the current song so you can move through a show without digging through menus. For bands and crews, Live Beam lets another device join a performance session and follow the current song and lyrics. Lighting tools support DMX scene and timeline preparation for performers who want their show cues in the same place as their music. Stage Performer Pro is available as an auto-renewable subscription with a free trial where offered. Subscriptions are managed through your App Store account settings.
