Features
From project prep to the last song
Prest separates deliberate preparation from glanceable stage operation. Each workflow stays connected to the DAW project that supplies playback and timing.
Prepare the catalog
Songs and setlists
Create and edit songs, search the catalog, create setlists, and add or reorder songs for the show.
Project sources
Point Prest at REAPER project files or use marker-delimited songs in one REAPER project. Ableton uses one Live Set with locators.
Run Performance
Transport and navigation
Choose a setlist and song, then use play, pause, stop, previous, next, and the progress display from a stage-oriented view.
Lyrics and chords
Follow lyrics and chords positioned against the song timeline. Lyric size and song timing visibility are adjustable in Setup.
Use the screens already on stage
Prest serves its browser interface from the host runtime. Computers, tablets, and phones on the same private local network can open that interface. This does not mean the browser is fully offline: it still needs the host and local network connection.
Manage and move your data
Setup holds performance preferences and project-source configuration. A Prest backup exports songs and setlists; importing creates new copies and merges them into the existing catalog. Wipe clears runtime and browser state and returns to onboarding.
