Versions:
OpenLP 3.1.7, released by the OpenLP Developers as the third generation of the project, is an open-source worship presentation application created to help churches display lyrics, Bible verses, images, videos and custom slides during services without locking users into proprietary formats or expensive licensing. Built on Python and Qt, the cross-platform program imports songs from a wide range of proprietary song databases, supports CCLI SongSelect integration, and handles verse-by-verse Scripture look-ups in dozens of Bible translations, making it equally useful for contemporary praise bands, traditional liturgies, youth rallies and mid-week home groups. Operators can build flexible service orders, assign themes, control foreground/background layers, and remotely advance slides via Android/iOS companion apps or any web browser on the local network, so musicians, preachers and A/V volunteers can all stay in sync without dedicated hardware. The stage view feeds confidence monitors while the main output goes to projectors or live-streaming software, and everything is stored in portable SQLite databases that simplify backup and multi-user collaboration. Because the code is GPL-licensed, congregations of any size can download, modify and redistribute it, a feature that has fostered active translation and plugin communities across five continents. The project maintains migration tools for earlier 2.x databases and continues to publish maintenance updates such as 3.1.7, ensuring stability on Windows, macOS and Linux alike. OpenLP is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always offering the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
