iPhone & iPad

Your chord sheets, in a form you can actually read on stage.

Write a song once. Play it in any key, at any tempo, with whoever is singing it tonight. ChordSheetz keeps your whole library in your pocket — and on your bandmates' devices too.

What's in it

Everything a working set needs. Nothing else.

Six things the app does, and they are all it does. It is built to be read at arm's length in bad light by someone who is about to count in.

Any key

Chord sheets that transpose

Write chords as letters or as numbers. Numbers follow the key, so any song moves to any key instantly — and the letters move with it when you'd rather read them that way.

Running order

Setlists for each gig

Group songs into a running order, reorder them, see the running time, and swipe from one to the next without leaving the chord sheet.

Attachments

Keep the original

Attach the PDF, scan or photo you worked the chords out from, and open it beside the song. Paste a chart from anywhere and the app reads it into shape.

Performance

Ready when you are

Remember each singer's key and each player's capo, add tempo and set notes, and get a one-tap metronome on any song that has a tempo.

Sync

Your iPhone and your iPad

Turn on iCloud and your library follows you between your own devices — songs, setlists, singers and attached files. Off until you ask for it.

Sharing

Send one song, or all of them

Hand a single song to a dep by AirDrop or mail, or invite the whole band into your library with a link. Songs you mark private stay yours.

On stage

Two bars from the end is no time to be tapping.

Tap the sheet and everything else gets out of the way. The chords fill the screen, the screen stays awake, and the next song is one swipe left.

  • Full screen. One tap hides both other columns. One tap brings them back.
  • Alternating sections. Verse, chorus, verse — your eye finds the jump without headings.
  • Keys per singer. Whoever is fronting this one, the sheet opens in their key.
  • Metronome. Any song with a tempo has a count-in waiting behind one button.

Your band

One library, four phones, no group chat archaeology.

Invite your bandmates once and they get your library as a link. From then on they pull the latest version when they choose to — not in the middle of the second set.

Deliberately manual

Sync Now, not sync always

A bandmate taps once to pull changes. New songs arrive, matching ones get corrected, and anything they added or edited themselves is left alone. Songs changing under a musician mid-gig is worse than a copy that is a day old.

Private songs

Not everything is for everyone

Mark a song private and it stays off the shared library while still syncing to your own devices. Sending that one song to one person still works — choosing it already answered the question.

No accountOpen it and start writing. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log into.
No analyticsNo third-party SDKs, no tracking, no telemetry. The app makes no network calls of its own.
Your iCloudThe only thing that goes anywhere is your library, to your own iCloud account, if you switch it on.

Almost there

ChordSheetz is coming to the App Store.
