Frequently Asked Questions

What is SmartChant?

SmartChant helps groups stay in sync by displaying chant or text at a shared pace. Anyone with the link can follow along in real time.

How do I create a new event?

Click “Create Event” on the homepage, enter the location, date, chant text, and speed, then submit the form. You’ll receive a unique edit link after creation.

Do I need an account to use SmartChant?

No. Anyone can create or join an event without signing up.

What is the edit link and how should I use it?

The edit link is a private URL that lets you update or archive your event. Save it somewhere safe and only share it with trusted organizers.

Can I change the chant text or speed later?

Yes. Use the edit link to update the chant text or adjust the speed slider. Changes appear immediately on the event page.

How does the synced display work?

The event page calculates progress from a shared timer, so participants see the same highlighted word at the same moment.

Why isn’t my event showing on the homepage?

The homepage only shows events from the last week. Archived events are also hidden from the main list.

Can I archive an event without deleting it?

Yes. Use the edit link (or an admin account) to archive an event. You can unarchive it later if needed.

Is email required to create an event?

No. Email is optional and only used to send your edit link if you choose to provide it.

Can I add line breaks or special formatting?

Line breaks are supported. Just press enter in the text box to create a new line in the chant.

Does SmartChant work on mobile devices?

Yes. The event pages are responsive and can be opened on phones, tablets, or desktops.

What if I lose my edit link?

Reach out via the contact form with your event details. We’ll do our best to help, but we cannot guarantee recovery without the original link.
