Your plan is already the setlist
Display reads your Planning Center service plan and builds the cue list for you — lyrics, video, countdowns, blanks. No re-building the order of service in another app on Saturday night.
The Sunday-morning screen, on the iPad you already have.
Run Sunday from the device in your hands.
Display is a native iPad service presenter for the church that doesn’t have a $1,500 rig, a tech director, or a volunteer who names every file just right. It reads your Planning Center plan and gets a working service on screen — even when the inputs aren’t perfect.
The problem
Presentation software was built for the church that can afford a booth.
Half the church market has been left to fend for itself — plants in cafeterias, kids and youth rooms on a shoestring, replants rebuilding from zero. Three things keep tripping them up:
Brittle Planning Center integration
Existing apps treat your plan as a strict file-fetcher. One mis-named file and the slide simply doesn't show up — and the volunteer is improvising in front of the room.
Hardware lock-in and cost
ProPresenter wants a Mac plus a license — easily $1,500+ before a single slide. That floor prices out the smallest churches, the ones who need the help most.
Slow, paid, and per-seat
The current iPad-class apps load slowly on older hardware and charge per seat or per location on top. So most under-resourced churches run Sunday on Google Slides and YouTube lyric videos, ads and all.
What Display does
A steady hand on the volunteer’s shoulder.
Forgiving match
Name a file “Cornerstone (V1)” instead of “Cornerstone - Verse 1” and other apps show a blank slide. Display treats the plan as intent — fuzzy-matched and confirmed — so the show plays even when the inputs aren't perfect.
Walkthrough before the room fills
Display prompts a pre-service run-through — click every cue once so nothing surprises you at 9:47am. A Saturday-night checklist instead of a Sunday-morning scramble.
Operator and stage views
You see current cue, next cue, and full list on the iPad. The congregation sees a clean screen with no operator chrome bleeding through.
Any screen you have
Drive the room over AirPlay or a wired HDMI cable. Wired is the blessed production path; AirPlay is the convenient one, with pre-cached media and a designed recovery state.
Built to not crash
Native, fast on older hardware, and engineered to survive a rough Sunday. The screen self-heals so the congregation never sees the seams.
The math
Less than one month of ProPresenter, for the whole year.
A ProPresenter seat runs about $289 a year. Display starts at $150 a year per location — and runs on the iPad already in someone’s bag. We priced it for the church that’s been priced out.

Questions churches ask.
- Do I need a Mac or ProPresenter?
- No. Display runs on an iPad most churches already have and drives any screen over AirPlay or HDMI. If your church has a tech director and a Mac in a rack, buy ProPresenter — Display is for everyone else.
- What if my Planning Center files are named wrong?
- That's exactly the case we built for. Display fuzzy-matches your plan and confirms low-confidence items before the service, so a mis-named file doesn't leave you with a blank screen mid-song.
- What hardware do I need?
- An iPad and a way to reach your screen — a wired HDMI adapter (best) or AirPlay. That's it. No dedicated computer, no capture rig.
- How is it priced?
- Flat per location — never per seat and never by attendance. It starts at $15/mo per location and builds from there. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
