Windows, macOS, and Linux — plus the full Witness Bible translation pack. Everything you need, right here.
Current version 3.1.0 · Full release history on GitHub Releases
Every platform shows a security warning on first launch — that's expected, not a sign anything's wrong. Here's exactly what to click, before you download.
Download the .exe installer from the Downloads section below and run it.
If Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC," click More info, then Run anyway. This is expected — the installer isn't code-signed with a paid certificate, not a sign of a problem.
Choose an install location (or use the default) and finish the setup wizard. A desktop shortcut is created automatically.
Launch Gracepad. To use live NDI broadcast, also install the free NDI Runtime — Gracepad works fine without it, NDI features just stay disabled until it's installed.
Ready to project? Jump to the App Usage Guide below.
Download the .dmg from the Downloads section below, open it, and drag Gracepad into your Applications folder.
On first launch, macOS will likely block it: "Gracepad can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer." This is expected for an unsigned build — Gracepad doesn't have a paid Apple Developer certificate.
Right-click (or Control-click) the Gracepad app in Applications and choose Open, then confirm Open again in the dialog. You only need to do this once. Alternatively: System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll down → Open Anyway.
For NDI broadcast, install the free NDI Runtime for macOS.
Ready to project? Jump to the App Usage Guide below.
Option A — AppImage (no install required, from the Downloads section below):
chmod +x Gracepad-*.AppImage ./Gracepad-*.AppImage
Option B — .deb (Debian/Ubuntu):
sudo dpkg -i gracepad_*.deb sudo apt-get install -f # if any dependencies are missing
Live NDI broadcast is not available on Linux yet — everything else (Bible, Songs, Media, Themes, Slides, Playlists, Alerts, Timer, projector output) works normally.

11 full translations, ready to import straight into Gracepad.
KJV, AMP, NIV, ESV, AMPC, NLT, NASB, MSG, NKJV, ASV, RSV — as individual .tw files you import one at a time inside the app.
Download and unzip the Bible Pack — you'll get 11 .tw files.
Open Gracepad and go to the Bible tab.
Next to the translation tabs, click the file picker, select one .tw file, then click Import.
Repeat for each translation you want. Imported translations appear as new tabs immediately — no restart needed.
A complete walkthrough of every part of the app, from first launch to going live.
Open Gracepad. It starts in Free mode — every core feature is usable immediately, no account needed.
To unlock PRO (unlimited themes, all Bible translations, AI tools), sign in with your organization's license from the app's login screen.
Import the Witness Bible Pack so you have translations ready before your first service.
Plug in a second monitor any time — Gracepad detects it automatically and offers a dedicated Projector Window.
Everything in Gracepad follows the same pattern: select content, it loads into Preview so you can check it, then you push it to Live with one click. Nothing reaches the congregation's screen by accident.
Open the Bible tab, pick a translation from the tabs at the top, and navigate by book/chapter/verse. Selecting a verse loads it into Preview; click to send it Live. Use the search bar for a reference, or (PRO) ask a natural-language question like "verses about forgiveness."
Open the Songs tab to browse your library. Select a song to preview its arranged slides, then push to Live. Add songs manually, or (PRO) import raw lyrics and let Gracepad auto-arrange them into slides.
Media tab: add images/videos as backgrounds. Themes tab: customize fonts, colors, and layout — up to 10 custom themes free, unlimited on PRO. Slides tab: build fully custom slides for anything else.
Open the Playlists tab to assemble an ordered run-of-show — mix scripture, songs, media, and slides into one sequence you step through live.
Quick Text: type and send a one-off announcement instantly. Alerts: fire a time-critical overlay (e.g. nursery pickup) that interrupts Live without losing it — Live resumes automatically once cleared.
Open the Timer tab to run an on-screen countdown, independently visible per output (Preview, Live, Projector) — great for service start times or countdown-to-live.
Plug in a second monitor before or while Gracepad is open — it's detected automatically and offered as a dedicated Projector Window, separate from your control panel. No second display? Gracepad just runs single-screen; nothing breaks.
With the NDI Runtime installed, enable Go Live / NDI from the control panel. Gracepad then appears as an NDI source — pick it up in OBS, vMix, or any other NDI-compatible receiver on the same network. No capture card needed.
Record a sermon, get it transcribed, then generate an AI summary and notes — save the result to a folder of your choice for later reference or note-sharing.
Control key actions hands-free during a live service — useful when the operator also has other duties mid-service.
