Worship Assist
Multitrack practice and chord charts for worship teams.
Most practice tracks give you one finished recording. Worship Assist plays a song as its separate tracks — every instrument and voice on its own — so you can drop the part you're playing, slow a run down until it's yours, or move the whole song into the key your team actually sings it in.
It plays your team's own songs. One person sets up a shared library and sends everyone a link; you paste it once and the songs are simply there, every time. There's no account, no password, and no subscription.

Installing on a Mac
- Click Download for Mac. The file saves to your Downloads folder.
- Double-click Worship-Assist.dmg. A window opens showing the Worship Assist icon next to your Applications folder.
- Drag the icon onto the Applications folder, then close that
window. (Don't run the app from there — that window is just the installer,
and you can throw the
.dmgaway afterwards.) - Open Applications and double-click Worship Assist.
- You'll see a screen called Connect a library. Paste the link your worship leader sent you and choose Connect. That's it.
Installing on Windows
- Click Download for Windows. The file saves to your Downloads folder.
- Run Worship-Assist-Setup.exe and follow the two or three clicks. Windows may say it "protected your PC" because it doesn't recognize us yet — click More info, then Run anyway.
- Open Worship Assist from your Start menu.
- You'll see a screen called Connect a library. Paste the link your worship leader sent you and choose Connect. That's it.
Installing on Android
- Tap Download for Android on your phone or tablet. If your browser warns that the file might be harmful, choose Download anyway.
- Open Worship-Assist.apk — tap the download when it finishes, or find it in your Downloads.
- The first time, Android says your browser isn't allowed to install apps. Tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, then go back and tap Install. (You only do this once.) If Google Play Protect asks about the app, choose Install anyway.
- Open Worship Assist from your home screen or app list.
- You'll see a screen called Connect a library. Paste the link your worship leader sent you and choose Connect. That's it.
From version 2.1.2 on, the app tells you when a new version is out and installs it for you (the first time, Android asks you to allow it, just like above). On an older version, download it from this page again and install it over the old one — your songs, charts and settings stay put.

Multitrack player
- Mute or solo any part — drop the electric guitar and play it yourself, or solo the vocal to learn a harmony.
- Change the speed — slow a tricky run right down to learn it, then bring it back up. The pitch doesn't sag with it.
- Change the key — shown as a real musical key, not a number of semitones, and voices don't go thin or chipmunky.
- Loop a section — mark the bridge and let it go round until it's yours.
- See the music — every track drawn as a waveform on a timeline, with the song's sections labeled across the top.
- Build arrangements, medleys and set lists — skip a verse, stitch two songs into one seamless medley, or line a whole rehearsal up in order.
- Play MIDI parts — a song can also carry the notes of a part, not just a recording of it. Choose the sound (piano, organ, guitar, bass, voices, drums), and open the piano roll to see every note with the chord named over its bar.
- Practice anywhere — songs download once and then play completely offline, and keep playing when you lock your screen.
Worship Assist is made for the practice that happens before you gather — so your team walks in ready.
Chord charts
Every song can carry its own chord chart, kept in the same shared library as the music — so the chart your team reads is the one that belongs to the recording they're practicing with.
- Write one by typing — put the chords within the words, and rhythms may be drawn on the bars that need it.
- It belongs to the song — move the song into your key and the chart moves with it.
- Read it while the song plays — show the chart over the waveforms and it follows along, so you can see where you are.
- Print it — a clean PDF that never splits a section across pages, as chords or as a Nashville number chart.

Setting up a library for your team
Someone has to be the one who gathers the songs — that's the host. Worship Assist doesn't keep your music on our server; you point it at your own cloud storage (Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, or anything S3-compatible), and you own everything in it.
Hosting is done on a Mac or Windows computer, because building a song means bringing in each separate audio file and converting it. Once a song is published, everyone on the team can open it on whatever device they practice with.
