Cantara is a free, open-source song presentation application designed for churches, worship services, and group singing. It helps organizers manage hymn collections and quickly prepare lyric presentations for audiences. The software imports common song formats, including CCLI SongSelect lyric files, and generates readable presentation slides. Users can customize fonts, colors, background images, brightness, and transparency. Its multi-screen support allows presentations to be displayed on external monitors or projectors. Cantara can present lyrics in two languages simultaneously for multilingual gatherings. Presentations can be exported to PowerPoint, images, HTML, and text formats for sharing or use with other software. Built with Free Pascal and Lazarus, it runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
