Features from three different applications, combined into one.
Cantio

We created Cantio for churches that cannot afford to purchase premium software. Although Cantio is free, it has premium features such as creating presentations, cloud, stage mode, and many more.

The software was initially designed for the local church, but then we thought we could help other churches with this software. Cantio is not unmatched performance software, being built in Python combined with Electron, but it is special for your church.

Python

Since the interface is created in Python, it allows the use of keyboard shortcuts and more direct integration with the operating system

SQL

The songs are saved in an SQL + FTS5 database for fast searching so you won't have to rewrite the lyrics every time just search select and display in under 10 seconds!

Electron

The audience window is created with Electron so that your church's projector looks dynamic all the time the main window communicates with the Live window through a Flask server. Because of this, the slides change instantly and in case the main interface freezes for a second the display is not corrupted
