Your church’s song library
SongStack
Manage your songs, build plans, and share your music – all in one place, for your whole team.
Manage songs
Add all your songs to your SongStack database including categories, keys, tags, lyrics, arrangements, files, links and more. Your songs will then be fully searchable by title and lyrics and filterable by category & tags.
Make plans
Add songs and other service elements to create a full plan. You can then add notes for each song, share the plan with your team, export a PDF of all music and use the ‘Set Mode’ to play right from your tablet.
SongStack will track the songs you play, providing stats and a full CCLI report.
Organise teams
Give your whole team (musicians, band leaders, and admins) a shared space to organise music, build service plans and share resources. Assign people to plans so they can keep track of what they’re playing and when.
Discover
A growing library of old and new songs to explore and add to your library. Search by title, author, category and tag and add directly to your church’s library.
Featuring songs by Awesome Cutlery, Ben Slee & Joyful Noise with more being added regularly.
Coming soon
We’re currently developing an iPad app which will enable offline viewing, annotations (with Apple Pencil support), custom plans and access to the church’s full song library.
