Start with your plan

You already know where Sunday's music lives.

Sign in with your Planning Center Services account and open a plan you're scheduled for. The service order, songs, and files your church has prepared are there on your iPad.

Open a song, choose its chart, and start practicing. When rehearsal or the service begins, follow the order and swipe from one chart to the next.

Work on your part

Listen while you read.

Keep the chart open while you listen. Choose a recording, skip to the part you're working on, or put the recording on repeat while you practice.

Download your PDF charts to read offline. Recordings stream while you listen, so you'll need an internet connection for audio.

Beyond this week

Practice a song before it's on the plan.

Maybe it's a song you haven't played in a while, or one you want to learn before you're scheduled. You don't have to wait for it to appear in this week's service.

Browse your Planning Center song library, choose an arrangement and key, then open the chart and recording you need.

At rehearsal and during the service

Keep the music in front of you.

Swipe from page to page. In a wide window, you can read two pages side by side. Choose light or dark mode to suit where you're playing.

Your account. Your music.

Planning Center stays in place.

Charts connects directly to Planning Center. It opens the plans and files your Services account can access without changing your church's information.

Your Planning Center sign-in and church files don't pass through a Ministry Margin server. Downloaded charts are kept in protected storage on your iPad.
