Vercast turns a room full of phones into one shared screen. When the worship leader pushes a song, a Bible verse or a slide, every screen in the room follows — instantly. No shouting page numbers. No squinting at a projector. No one lost between verses. FOR THE CONGREGATION • Follow live events hands-free — when the leader moves, your screen moves • Read lyrics and chords, laid out for the stage rather than shrunk from a page • Switch language, transliteration or translation mid-song without losing your place • Download songbooks and read them offline, with no signal and no data • Get a notification when your church starts a live event FOR WORSHIP LEADERS • Plan the run of show — songs, Bible verses, polls, quizzes and slides, in order • Push each item to the whole room from one console • Show two languages on the same slide: the verse plus a transliteration or translation • Run live polls and Kahoot-style quizzes with a real-time leaderboard • Cast to the big screen and to every phone at once FOR ORGANIZATIONS • Verify your organization and approve who joins • Brand it, schedule events, and appoint the people who run them • Publish songbooks your members can download • Accept song, chord, translation and transliteration submissions, with approval before anything goes live A BIBLE THAT WORKS OFFLINE • Dozens of public-domain translations across 15 languages • Reference jumps ("John 3:16") and keyword search • Search in English and see the hit in your own translation, side by side • Download once, read anywhere — no signal required BUILT FOR REAL ROOMS Vercast is offline-first. Songbooks and Bibles live on your device, so a weak signal in a church hall doesn't stop the service. Chords sit in a rail you can reach one-handed, left or right, whichever hand holds the phone. MADE FOR MANY LANGUAGES Songs carry their own transliterations and translations, so a room that sings in more than one language can read together instead of taking turns. Search romanized text and still find the song in its own script. Free to use. Organizations that want verification, branding and advanced event tools can subscribe at vercast.app.
