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 ACTIVITIES — FOR ANY GROUP, FROM YOUR PHONE • Run a Bible quiz, a poll, a randomizer or a Q&A in seconds • Play word puzzles, Word scramble and Draw & guess together • People join with a code, a QR code or Share nearby • Live leaderboards and results on every phone • You stay in charge: approve questions, see who joined, remove anyone, and let people report anything inappropriate FOR WORSHIP LEADERS • Plan the run of show — songs, Bible verses, polls, quizzes and slides, in order — with Vercast Studio or the web console • 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 quizzes with a real-time leaderboard • Cast to the big screen and to every phone at once FOR ORGANIZATIONS • Request your organization in the app, then verify it 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 • Public-domain translations, including the Berean Standard Bible and the Malayalam 1910 Bible • 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. STARTER SUBSCRIPTION Vercast is free to use. The optional Starter subscription raises how many people can join the activities you create. It comes in several levels, billed monthly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and the renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://vercast.app/help/terms Privacy Policy: https://vercast.app/privacy
Underbeat
Read full descriptionHide full description
Underbeat is a metronome that plays alongside your music instead of interrupting it — for practising an instrument, and for running. Start a track in Spotify or Apple Music, start Underbeat, and the click sits underneath it. No ducking, no pausing, no switching apps. FOR MUSICIANS Practise to the recorded track rather than to a click in isolation. The Music group starts at 80, 120 and 90 BPM, in 4/4 and 3/4, and a warm wooden click. FOR RUNNERS Hold a cadence over a playlist for the length of a long run. The Running group starts at 160, 170 and 180 steps per minute, with a rim click chosen to cut through music in open air without being loud. One engine underneath both — the same timing, the same mixing. What differs is the preset group you switch to, and each carries its own sound and its own volume. PRESET TEMPOS Switch tempo with one tap. A piece that moves between sections, or an interval that changes pace, should not need you to drag a dial mid-bar. TRUE BACKGROUND MIXING The click mixes with whatever else is playing, and keeps going with the screen off and the app in the background — ninety minutes and beyond, uninterrupted. LOCK SCREEN CONTROL Start, stop and change tempo from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island. Your hands stay on the instrument, or keep moving. TAP TEMPO Tap out a few beats and Underbeat takes the tempo from you. BUILT FOR TIMING The beat grid is rendered ahead of time and played from a single buffer, so the interval between clicks does not drift over a long session. Every other feature depends on that. Underbeat has no accounts, no adverts and no analytics. It collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere.
