AKI Stage Reader
Productivity
$9.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
PDF reader built for live performances. Share lyrics, sheet music, or charts across devices, no internet, no cables. Swap leaders with 1 tap. For stage, not the office.
AKI Stage Reader was built for performers who need to share PDF charts, lyrics, setlists, and sheet music across multiple devices on stage — without internet, without cell service, without cables, and without compromise. Any device can lead the session, control can hand off in a tap, and an external monitor can render in full portrait without special hardware. It's a focused performance tool for anyone reading from an iPad or iPhone on stage — though the iPad experience is the one we built around. iPhone works for personal use and emergency backup.
