Ward Choir

Your account

Download the host app

  1. Download ward-choir-host.zip, right-click it → Extract All.
  2. In the unzipped folder double-click Install Ward Choir. It installs Python if the PC doesn't have it, opens the firewall for phones, puts Ward Choir on the Desktop and Start menu, and starts it. (Prefer no install? run.bat still works straight from the folder.)
  3. Tap I'm the director and sign in with your host account or licence code. That's the only time the PC talks to this site; rehearsals run without internet.
  4. Singers open the address shown in the console on the same Wi-Fi. Nothing to install.

Windows 10/11 · Chrome or Edge for the director · phones use their normal browser. See the README in the download for everything else.

No PC? Host from an Android phone

Install Termux (from F-Droid), open it and paste:

curl -fsSL https://www.wardchoir.org/android/install.sh | bash

Then type wardchoir whenever you rehearse; turn on the phone's hotspot and singers join it. Full Android instructions. (iPhones can run the director console, but not the host.)
