FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Straight answers only. If something you need isn't here, email us — you'll get the same honesty.

The product

What is MultiWorship?

A native macOS worship presenter: song library with sections, an ordered service plan with media, built-in offline Bibles, an iPhone browser remote, and outputs for projector, streaming overlay and NDI. Made by MultiRing.

Is it available now?

Yes, as Early Access: the app runs real services today, and builds are delivered directly to participating churches. There is no public download yet.

Is it still alpha?

Yes — honestly labelled. It's a working alpha (version 1.27) with 850+ automated tests, used in real rehearsals and services, but builds are not notarized yet and details still change.

What does it cost?

Final pricing is being confirmed during Early Access. Licensing is per church via a simple local license file. Contact us for the current state — we won't show you numbers that might change silently.

Macs & system

Does it work on Intel Macs?

Yes. macOS 13+ on Intel is supported, we ship dedicated Intel builds, and the interface is specifically tested for Intel MacBook Pro screen sizes and windowed use.

Does it work on Apple Silicon?

Yes — M-series Macs are the primary development platform. Builds cover both architectures.

What macOS version is required?

macOS 13 Ventura or later.

Is Windows supported?

No. MultiWorship is a native Mac app and there is no Windows version.

Is there an Android app?

There is no native Android app. The remote, however, is a browser page on your local network — modern phone browsers can open it, though it's designed and tested iPhone-first.

Remote & network

Is the remote a native iPhone app or a browser remote?

A browser remote: the Mac serves a control page on your local network and the iPhone opens it in Safari — scan a QR code, get approved on the Mac, and control the service. Nothing to install.

Does the remote need internet?

No. It runs entirely on your local network and loads no external resources. Phone and Mac just need to be on the same network.

Can a random phone in the room control the service?

No. Every device must be explicitly approved on the Mac first; unapproved devices get no data and no control.

Does the live service need cloud access?

No. Live control, Scripture, lyrics and the remote all run locally. Internet is only involved in things like receiving the app or your license file by email.

Content & outputs

Can I prepare a service plan?

Yes — songs, video, photos, audio and notes in one ordered plan, launched live with one tap.

Can I add video, photos and audio?

Yes. Video and photos take over the output full screen; audio plays with a chosen visual (text, photo or video) behind it.

What happens if a media file is missing?

Nothing dramatic — the item simply doesn't start. Missing files are tested, safe no-ops; they never crash the service.

Which Bible translations are included?

Russian Synodal 1876, World English Bible, and Luther 1912 (German) — all public domain, all fully offline.

Can I show more than one translation?

Yes — a second and even a third translation can be shown together with the primary text.

Can I search Scripture by word?

Yes. Type a word instead of a reference and MultiWorship searches the whole selected translation and lists matching verses to tap.

Does it support Black and Clear?

Yes — they're the most prominent controls in the app, on the keyboard (⌘B / ⌘K) and on the phone remote.

Can I use a projector or HDMI display?

Yes — full-screen output on any connected display, with the menu bar and Dock hidden, plus a windowed rehearsal mode.

Does it support Browser Overlay?

Yes — transparent lyrics on a local URL you add as a browser source in streaming software.

Does it support NDI?

Yes — NDI Lyrics (keyed lyrics) and NDI Program (full program feed) outputs, plus NDI video input as a lyrics background.

Licensing & data

How does licensing work?

Your church imports a signed local license file in the app. The license enables live outputs; your library, editing, plans and export always work regardless. Expiry has a grace period, not a sudden cutoff.

Can one license be shared?

A license is issued per church. The app does not currently enforce device counts technically, so we keep it simple and trust-based — please license what you use.

Where is my data stored?

On your Mac, as plain local files (Application Support). There's no account, no telemetry pipeline, and no copy of your songs on our servers.

How do I get support?

Email support@multiworship.com — English, German or Russian. During Early Access you're talking directly to the people building the app.
