What Crown Cast is

Crown Cast is presentation software for churches to display Bible verses, worship lyrics, and sermon slides, plan services, and create OBS live-stream overlays. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The Free forever plan costs nothing and includes every feature, lifetime updates, and unlimited installs, with no account or tracking.

KJV and Spanish Reina-Valera translations are bundled; more than 40 additional translations are available through an API and can be used offline after download. Songs can be imported from PowerPoint or OpenSong, or created from scratch. For streams, a green-screen output window integrates with OBS for lower-thirds on YouTube, Facebook Live, and Zoom. Pastor Remote shows sermon notes and a live preview on a phone or tablet connected to church Wi-Fi, using secure pairing. The app works offline after setup and translation downloads, but streaming features need a connection. Its audio player supports playlists and MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, AAC, and FLAC files. The maker says macOS and Linux releases are under active development and may have bugs or platform-specific issues.
