Editor with chords placed above lyric words

No WiFi. No account. No problem.

Works everywhere, even off the grid. Your songs live on your device. No login walls. No sync errors ruining a writing session.

Every chord. Every voicing.

Guitar, piano, ukulele, banjo, and mandolin. From open shapes to jazz voicings, they're all here — and you can find the chord by tapping the strings if you don't know its name.

Chord picker showing multiple guitar voicings

Built for the stage.

Fullscreen lyrics. Auto-scroll setlists. Hands stay on the guitar; eyes stay on the audience. MIDI footswitch support if you want it.

Performance mode with large lyrics and chord chart

A studio in your pocket.

Layer up to four overdub tracks per song. Stack parts, catch ideas, bounce to a single mix when you're ready to share.

Multi-track recording view with waveforms

Tune up. See how it fits.

Precision tuner with noise suppression that actually works on a loud stage. Tap any chord in the key to hear how it sounds against the others.

Export to PDF, ChordPro, and more.

A writing space designed to disappear. Simple layout, no upsell popups, no accounts pestering you to log in. When inspiration hits, you open the app and you write.

Type the lyric, drop a chord above the right syllable, and it stays there — even when you edit the line, transpose the song, or resize the window. No more hand-aligning chord charts.

Cent-level accuracy for guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, and violin. Adjustable reference pitch. Locks on fast, stays put, and works through the hum of a noisy room.

Build any chord you can imagine. Enharmonic spelling, alternate voicings, slash chords, extended harmony — every chord gets a clean diagram for the instrument you're holding.

Tap record the moment the melody shows up. Smart silence trimming cleans the top and tail so your clips are ready to share, loop against, or drop into a setlist — no editor required.

Drag songs into a setlist, reorder with a swipe, and carry the whole night on stage in your pocket. Keep multiple lists — one for the coffeehouse gig, one for the full band, one for the recording date.

Auto-scroll at your tempo so both hands stay on the instrument. MIDI footswitch support turns page-turns into pedal-taps, and the display stays legible from across the stage.

Three styles of PDF lead sheets, plus ChordPro and plain text for the nerds. Print them, email them, or pull them up on a tablet — every layout is designed to be read at a glance.

Everything runs on your device. No login walls, no sync errors, no third-party servers reading your lyrics. Your songs stay yours — even on a plane, even off the grid.

Eighteen hand-tuned themes plus the option to drop in any photo as your background. Make the app feel like your guitar — and switch the whole vibe in a second when the mood turns.
