Maintained Flutter hymnal app with 660 Yoruba hymns available offline and searchable by number, title, or lyrics.
Results and deliverables
- Published 660 Yoruba hymns for offline use

- Added search, categories, bookmarks, recent history, sharing, and projection mode
Overview
Nigerian Baptist Yoruba Hymnal is an offline-first Flutter app for reading and using 660 Yoruba hymns during worship, rehearsal, and personal devotion. I first released the app in 2021 and continue to maintain it. The current implementation supports Yoruba and English interface text and adapts across phone and tablet layouts.
Product decisions
The hymn catalogue ships in a local SQLite database, so reading and search do not depend on connectivity. Search covers hymn number, title, and lyric text. Bookmarks, recently viewed hymns, language choice, and reading size remain on the device.
