Yara PresenterEverything the service puts on screen
The Bible, the songs and your slides, on every screen in the room and on the stream, from a calm desk that’s hard to get wrong on a Sunday morning.

Running the service
One click, and it’s on screen
The order of service down the side, every slide as a card. Click one and it’s on every screen; what’s showing is marked live, and nothing else ever uses that colour.
Each layer clears on its own: the words, a picture, the camera, a message. Clearing everything takes a deliberate hold, not a slip.
The Bible
Type a verse. It’s up.
Type “John 3:16-17” and the passage is ready, split across slides that fit. Translations that work offline, search across the whole Bible, bookmarks for the service, and notes for the sermon.
Drag across words on the screen to highlight them as the pastor reads.
Slides
Slides that look designed
Start from a template, for a welcome, a sermon title, birthdays, Christmas or the offering, and make it yours in an editor that feels like Canva.
Words and pictures come in with movement and leave the same way; moving backgrounds come with the app.
And the rest of the service
Made for how churches work
Songs
Paste a song’s words and it’s ready, split into slides. Churches with a CCLI licence bring songs in from SongSelect, and a usage report is kept for you. Well-known hymns come with the app.
Every screen in the room
Projectors and TVs, a stage screen, and the livestream: OBS takes Yara Presenter as a browser source, and Yara Presenter can start and stop the stream. NDI® and Syphon too.
Cameras and lower thirds
Put a camera or capture card behind any slide, with the words beside it or a lower third over it.
Web pages on screen
Show a live web page, a stage timer’s view or a countdown, as you would a picture, with lower thirds over it.
Timers, messages and audio
Countdowns for the walk-in, a message over everything (“Parent of …”), and background music from a playlist.
A remote in your pocket
Step through slides from a phone, from the stage or the back of the hall. No app to install: scan a code.
Two laptops, one library
Pair a second Mac and your songs and sermon notes stay the same on both.
Pictures and video
A media library with folders, moving backgrounds that come with the app, and videos that play with sound.
Quotes from the sermon
Note down the pastor’s lines as they come, and put any of them on screen as a card.
