Running a worship team means juggling setlists, volunteer schedules, chord charts, and last-minute key changes across group chats, spreadsheets, and scattered PDFs. OnStage brings all of that into one platform built for church musicians and worship leaders.^1
Teams build detailed setlists for each service, assign roles, manage volunteer availability with blockout dates, and share audio files, documents, and sheet music.^2 Songs can be transposed instantly, rearranged to fit an arrangement, organised into folders, and annotated with personal notes that sync across devices.^2 Teams can customise fonts and colours for lyrics, chords, and notes, and chord views support standard, numeral, and number formats, so readers of Nashville Numbers and traditional notation stay on the same page.^4 AI converts imported PDF sheet music and chord charts into an editable format, and a smart song search helps leaders find songs in their library.^2 Offline mode and autoscroll support hands-free live performance, a built-in audio player keeps reference tracks in the same app, and team chat gives every event its own conversation, so rehearsal notes and Sunday-morning changes stay tied to the right service.^2
OnStage was born out of a real need. The founding team spent nearly six years organising their worship band El-Shaddai in Romania using Excel sheets and scattered documents before building something better.^3 They released the first version in February 2025, and their vision extends beyond worship planning toward wider church tools for volunteer scheduling, donations, small groups, and congregation communication.^3
