Need a way to put lyrics, scripture, and sermon slides on the big screen without spending hundreds on software? FreeShow is a free, open-source church presentation tool built by Live Church Solutions, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to free the Church from software costs.^1
FreeShow handles everything from worship lyrics (with automatic search and slide creation) to scripture display, sermon points, countdown timers, and media backgrounds — across multiple screens simultaneously.^2 It supports stage displays for worship leaders, NDI output for livestreaming, MIDI integration for lighting control, and remote control from any mobile device. You can import existing presentations from ProPresenter, EasyWorship, PowerPoint, and OpenSong, so switching doesn't mean starting over.^2
The project was started in late 2021 by developer Kristian Vassbo, with the first public release in February 2022.^3 Since then it has surpassed 2.5 million downloads and earned over 1,000 GitHub stars from a growing community of contributors.^4 Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux, FreeShow also offers cloud sync so multiple volunteers can collaborate on presentations from different computers.^2
