  1. TestFlight beta latest

    0.1 (build 20261014.753) — First TestFlight beta #

    The first build for testers: everything from the development previews below, now in English and Polish, with a Quick Start guide.

    • New English and Polish interface — the app follows your iPad's language.
    • New Quick Start guide: a short tutorial in your library, in your language. Swipe it away when you no longer need it — it won't come back.
    • New App icon in light, dark and tinted variants.
    • Improved An empty library shows how to add songs: the Add button, or the Import folder in the Files app for a whole songbook.
    • Privacy Privacy details for the App Store: no data collected, no tracking.
    • Privacy The Quick Start guide links to the privacy policy.
    • Removed Demo songs are no longer included — your library starts empty, apart from the Quick Start guide.

    Known limitations

    • Songs are not sent between iPads — every member needs the PDFs on their own iPad.
    • Band sessions have no password — anyone on the same network can join, so use a network you trust.
    • Guest and hotel Wi-Fi often blocks the connection — connect the iPads directly instead, without a router.
    • ZIP archives aren't supported — unzip them in the Files app first.

    Under the hood: Release build preparation and automated checks.

  2. Development preview

    Setlists, a new song list and a full-screen reader #

    • New Setlists with sections for every part of a service or gig: add songs from the list or from the reader, and drag to reorder.
    • New Play a setlist from the start — swipe past the last page to open the next song, with the position and what comes next always in view.
    • New Band members see the leader's setlist: which song of how many, and what's next.
    • Improved Reader opens full screen: no bars, just the page. Tap the middle to show the menu and the sides to turn pages.
    • Improved In full screen, band messages — leader unavailable, song missing — appear as a short note instead of covering the page.
    • New Optional page number, shown briefly after you turn a page.
    • Improved Redesigned song list with Song, Key, Tempo and Versions columns, and a tempo tile with delay times in milliseconds.
    • New Sort by title, tempo or recently added — your choice is remembered.
    • New Delete a song or a single version with a swipe or from the menu, after a confirmation.
    • Changed The app opens on Recently Opened songs.

  3. Development preview

    Band sessions that survive screen lock #

    • Improved The band session survives screen lock: the leader and members reconnect by themselves when the iPad wakes up.
    • Improved Members waiting for the leader see a clear “Leader unavailable” message and pick up where they left off.
    • New Screen never sleeps during a band session.
    • Changed Simpler Screen Sleep setting: Never (default) or System.
    • Removed The “keep awake in the reader only” option — replaced by Never.

  4. Development preview

    First preview: library, reader and band mode #

    • New Leader drives the band's iPads: open a song or turn the page, and every member follows — the same song, the same version.
    • New No router needed: iPads connect directly to each other when Wi-Fi is on.
    • New Join Leader banner and Back to Leader button — rejoin the session at any time.
    • New Library for PDF sheet music and chord charts: add many PDFs at once from Files or iCloud Drive.
    • New Import a whole songbook: copy folders of PDFs to OneStage in the Files app.
    • New Reads forScore-style PDF metadata: title, composers, genres, tags, key and tempo.
    • New Search by title, composer, genre or tag — accents and letter case don't matter.
    • New Full-page reader in portrait and landscape, in light or dark theme; tap left or right to turn pages.
    • New Song versions: one entry per song, a version menu in the reader with the preferred version starred, and your choice remembered.
    • New Key, tempo and number of versions shown in the song list.
    • New Recently Opened tab.
    • New The screen stays awake while you read — or follows your iPad settings.
    • Fixed A member could not rejoin the leader after going back to the song list.
    • Fixed After reconnecting, a member who had left the leader's song was sent back into it.

    Under the hood: The library engine, PDF metadata test files and automated band-sync tests.
