Read full description

Obiler is the app for worship teams: stage-ready chord charts, setlists, service schedules, and a tuner — all in one place. CHORD CHARTS FOR THE STAGE Chords sit right above the lyrics, large and easy to read from a distance. Transpose to any key in one tap, set a capo, adjust the font size, and turn on hands-free auto-scroll. A built-in metronome and tuner keep the band together. SETLISTS AND TEAM Build a setlist for each service and share it with the team. Leaders create the schedule, assign who plays and who leads each song, and everyone opens the same songs in the right key. Add your own notes to any chart. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Import charts from a PDF or type them in, save YouTube and Spotify links for each song, and keep your whole repertoire organized. It works on phone and tablet, and keeps your charts available offline once loaded. Obiler is free. All songs and charts are created or imported by your own team.
