Every ship, every fix

Improved

• Smaller Windows install, guided setup. On first launch, Loghema checks Bible editions, visual backgrounds, and search resources. It reuses files already on your computer and downloads and verifies anything missing before opening the workspace. The download may take several minutes and can be retried if interrupted.
• More lyrics in the first search. Lyrics search checks more worship websites and shows matches as each source responds.
• Cleaner EasyWorship song imports. Hidden layout numbers no longer appear in imported lyrics, while real lyric numbers remain.
• Faster website lyrics imports. Supported Smule links with a clear lyrics section now import in about a second, with the song title and artist included.

New

• Custom Lower-Third Designs. Upload a transparent PNG lower-third design in Bible Themify, place scripture text inside its safe area, and use the design on Main or Alternate output alongside Loghema’s built-in styles.

Improved

• Smaller scripture font sizes. New display presets make scripture easier to size for different projectors and NDI/Broadcast outputs without changing existing saved setups.

• Smarter paraphrase search. Search using the wording you remember across KJV, NKJV, and NLT, and Loghema still shows the result in your selected Bible. “Viper on Paul” now finds Acts 28:3, while both “power to tread upon serpent” and “power to trample upon serpent” find Luke 10:19 instead of unrelated verses that merely share a few words.

Fixed

• Safer diagnostic reports. Sending logs now uses a protected server route; the desktop app no longer carries the Resend email key.

• Cleaner EasyWorship song imports. EasyWorship imports no longer add repeated layout numbers to lyrics or replace apostrophes with question marks. If a song was already affected, delete it and import it again after updating Loghema.

• Move and resize text boxes in Slides. Text boxes in the slide editor can now be dragged anywhere on the slide, just like shapes and pictures. Click a text box to type as before; once it is selected, drag its outline to move it or pull a corner to make it wider or narrower, and the height adjusts to fit your text. A text box moved with the Layout position fields also stays where you put it when you start typing.

• Sermon Points keep updating during long sermons. Fixed a limit error that could stop live Sermon Points after four automatic updates. Sermon Points now use the automatic processing budget even when an older desktop client sends the legacy request field.

• Silence-aware quota accounting. Long silent pauses no longer consume online transcription quota as if audio had been sent to the provider.

• Per-song lyrics styling. Songs can remember their own font, size, color, and background while unstyled songs continue using global Lyrics settings.

• Reliable custom song backgrounds. A song’s saved custom image now reaches both HDMI and NDI output when you go live.

New

• Slides — a workspace of its own. Create, import, edit, stage, and present full slide decks directly inside Loghema. Build church announcements and sermon slides, edit text visually, add scripture blocks, and send slides to your display or NDI output from one dedicated workspace.

Improved

• Smoother video backgrounds. Loghema can put moving video backgrounds behind scriptures and lyrics. Premium users can open Themify, choose a built-in motion background or import their own, then use it on HDMI and NDI outputs. Playback and switching are now smoother and more reliable.
• Resizable workspaces. Resize the Bible and Slides panels to match the way you serve. Adjust columns and rows independently, and Loghema remembers your layout when you reload the app.
• A lighter Settings and Themify. Both now feel clearer and easier to read, with cleaner details and softer surfaces.
• Rock-solid live verse detection. English and French detection is now more accurate during fast speech, split references, ranges, and several references spoken together. If online transcription falls behind, Loghema fails safely instead of sending a stale or incorrect verse to the screen.

Fixed

• New sessions start clean. Starting a new session now cancels pending verse work from the previous service, so an older detection cannot appear again after the board has been cleared.

Fixed

• EasyWorship import on Mac. Importing an EasyWorship library on Mac could fail with an "unable to open database file" error. Song Library → Import from EasyWorship now works correctly on Mac as well as Windows.

Improved

• Transcription and verse detection. Both online and offline transcription now produce more accurate results, with better verse detection during live speech.
• General fixes across the app for a smoother service.

New

• Manage devices from any computer. Every active computer on your license can now see and remove old devices without contacting support or returning to the original master computer. You can also deactivate the computer you are using from Settings → License, and ownership transfers automatically when the master device is removed.
• Import and export your song library. Move songs between computers or share them with another church. Open Song Library and use Export to save a portable JSON file, then Import it on any device to bring them right back in.
• Import songs from VideoPsalm. Already have a library in VideoPsalm? Song Library → Import brings your VideoPsalm JSON export straight into Loghema — no rebuilding from scratch.
• Highlight verse text on screen. Emphasise a word or phrase while the preacher reads. Select any part of the verse in the Live pane and the same words are highlighted on your HDMI and NDI outputs instantly. Deselect to clear it, and pick your own highlight colour in Settings → Display → Typography.

Fixed

• Offline transcription. Fixed offline transcription failing to start on some Macs, and made live results keep pace with speech instead of falling behind. Stop now responds immediately instead of pausing while the last few seconds finish processing.

New

• Motion backgrounds for all outputs. Premium users can import motion and video backgrounds for every output from Themify. Choose a preinstalled background or import your own — Loghema stores it locally and renders it on HDMI and NDI.

Improved

• Live verse detection is up to 5× faster. When a preacher calls a reference like "John 3:16", Loghema shows it almost instantly while auto-display stays accurate and stable.
• Paraphrase matches always preview first. A single click on a paraphrase match now opens it in Preview, even when Auto is on. Double-click when you want to send it straight to Live.
• Phone Remote has moved to Settings → Display, alongside your other display and broadcast options, instead of the top bar icon.

Fixed

• Chapter Navigator scrolling. The Chapter Navigator and related reference panels could appear locked and refuse normal mouse or trackpad scrolling. Long Bible passages and match lists scroll normally again.
• Lyrics service schedule. The same corrected scrolling behaviour is restored in the lyrics schedule, so longer service plans stay navigable during live operation.

Fixed

• NDI motion background performance. Fixed choppy motion backgrounds on NDI output. The video decoder now runs optimized, a background-sync bug that could restart playback mid-clip is fixed, per-frame text layout work was eliminated during motion playback, and the background now uses a matching pixel format with smoother upscaling.

Improved

• Safer NDI mode switching. Switching NDI performance profiles, such as Good Neighbor Mode, now warns you first if you are currently live, since it briefly resizes the output.

New

• Import lyrics from a website link. Paste a lyrics page link and Loghema imports the song, prepares the sections, and shows the normal preview before saving it to your library.
• Verse numbers in song sections. Song lyrics now show clear section labels like Verse 1, Verse 2, and Verse 3 in the sections panel, making it easier to jump between parts during worship.

Improved

• Safer lyrics editing. The Song Editor no longer closes when you click outside it. Use Cancel to leave the editor, and Loghema will ask before discarding unsaved lyric changes.

New

• Logos AI is now Loghema. A new name and identity, with the same live scripture, transcription, sermon, and lyrics workflow churches already know — and a clean foundation for everything that comes next.
• Offline transcription on Apple silicon. Paid plans can install offline transcription locally on Apple silicon Macs. Audio stays on the Mac, the local speech engine warms up before you go live, and your online transcription settings are untouched.
• Motion backgrounds in Themify. Premium users can import optimized motion backgrounds for Main and Alternate outputs. Loghema validates the file, stores it locally, and renders it on HDMI and NDI.
• Safer lyrics editing. The Song Editor no longer closes when you click outside it. Use Cancel to leave the editor, and Loghema will ask before discarding unsaved lyric changes.

Improved

• Your Logos AI data moves with you. On first launch, Loghema carries forward your songs, playlists, sessions, sermon notes, Bibles, display settings, backgrounds, and preferences automatically.
• A clearer first launch. Loghema shows a migration startup screen while it prepares your existing data, so you know to wait and keep the app open.
