Quelea

What Quelea is

Quelea is free, open-source software for projecting multimedia during church services. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and can import PowerPoint presentations as well as song databases from EasyWorship, OpenLP, and EasySlides. It supports Bible files in Zefania XML format and can display video backgrounds, colors, or still images. Stage View can put a clock and song chords on a separate screen, but does not show presentations, notices, or videos there. Quelea can send live lyrics to mobile devices through a browser, with colors users can select. A browser on the same network can control the software through Mobile Remote once a password is configured. Its interface is listed in English, German, Spanish, Swedish, Czech, Hungarian, Norwegian, Dutch, Lithuanian, and Portuguese. Documentation covers importing from Planning Center Online; Elvanto imports require manually adding a client ID to quelea.properties. Quelea is licensed under GPL-3.0, and the project directs users to a community forum for help. The project cautions that automatically built CI releases are not fully tested and should not be used in production. The Snap Store also notes that its stable channel has not been updated in a while and may have stability or security issues.
