Why you'll love it
Built for the choir loft, the bus, the bush — anywhere the songs are needed and the signal isn't.
The whole corpus is bundled inside the app as a local asset. Open it on a plane, in a village, or with airplane mode on — every song is there, instantly, with no network needed.
Search by number, title, lyrics or artist — across all 17 books or within one. Collections that credit performers also offer an artist filter to show just one singer's songs.
Verses and refrains break into proper hymn lines at the punctuation, so songs read like a real printed book — warm parchment, a high-contrast serif title, and a calm reading serif.
One device hosts and everyone on the same Wi-Fi mirrors the song and scroll position live — SharePlay-style. Idle phones nearby get a one-tap "join" banner. Scales to a full room.
Nine selectable font pairings with live preview, three reading themes (Light · Sepia · Dark), adjustable size and line spacing, plus pinch-to-zoom and an optional keep-screen-on.
Kirundi, Kinyarwanda, Swahili and Français — filter the library by language, group and sort it your way, and switch the whole interface between Français and English.
The reader
Titles are normalised from shouting ALL-CAPS to gentle sentence case; divine names stay capitalised. Verses and choruses are clearly labelled and laid out line-by-line, the way a hymnal prints them — so your eye never loses its place mid-verse.
Double-tap for distraction-free fullscreen, pinch to zoom the text, and keep the screen awake while you sing. Favourite the songs you return to, and flip between A/B variants when a hymn has two versions.
Live share
No more "what number are we on?" One phone leads; every device on the same Wi-Fi follows the song and the scroll in real time. Followers can still scroll ahead on their own, like a song, and rejoin the leader with a tap.
Idle phones on the network see an automatic "session nearby — Join" banner, so newcomers are in within seconds. It scales comfortably to large gatherings on a real Wi-Fi router, and web devices can join from a link.
The corpus
Classic public-domain hymnals across four languages — each with its own deep book-spine colour on the shelf.
The songs come from various public-domain hymnals. Indirimbo Zikundwa is an independent, offline reader and is not affiliated with any organization.
Calm by design
Every song is bundled locally. The app makes no network calls to read, search or share within the room.
No sign-up, no analytics, no profile. Your favourites and settings stay on your device.

A closer look
Yes. All 5,495 songs are bundled inside the app as a local asset, so reading and searching never touch the network. Only the optional "sing together" feature uses your local Wi-Fi — and even that stays on your own network.
