Project Hymnal — A Crowd-Powered Hymn Library
Project Hymnal is an iOS multimedia app created by Samuel Liu that reimagines how people discover and share hymns. Offered free in the Music & Radio category, the app combines audio, sheet music, and learning tools to create a modern, community-built hymnal you can carry on your phone.
What you can do with the app
- Access the most recent hymn arrangements and newest songs even when your device is offline.
- View and study sheet music, follow instrumentals, or practice guitar parts.
- Learn unfamiliar tunes through integrated audio and notation aids.
- Upload your own hymn arrangements to expand the collection for everyone.
- Use a nonprofit platform focused on making hymnody widely available and adaptable.
Community-driven contributions
Project Hymnal relies on users to grow its library. Anyone can submit recordings, transcriptions, or arrangements through the app. These uploads help create a diverse and continually evolving repertoire that reflects contributions from many voices and traditions.
Copyright and removal requests
If you own the rights to material that appears in the collection and would like it taken down, please contact the developer directly. Reported rights-holder requests are handled promptly to respect intellectual property and remove content when appropriate.
Other notes and a suggested alternative
- The app is free to download and designed to work offline for convenient use during worship, practice, or personal study.
- If you prefer a more conventional player, consider eSound — a free MP3 music player available for iOS.
