How it works
From scattered files to one tidy songbook.
Three steps most players finish in a single evening: build the library, shape each song, play the set list.
1. Build fast with online song search
The simplest way to build your library is to search online inside the app and save songs straight to it. ChordPro and Word files open directly too, and tags keep the right version one search away.
- Online search across supported sites, saved to your library
- ChordPro and Word files open directly in the app
- Tags, alternative titles and per-song keys
2. Shape it for your hands
Transpose to the singer's key, set a capo, pick friendlier chord shapes, and mark it up like paper. Diagrams are generated for guitar, mandolin, ukulele and keyboard, and you can pin your preferred voicing per song.
- Transpose and capo, with a different key per set list
- Capoed view for guitar, concert pitch for keys
- Ink annotations that survive zoom and relayout
3. Play it without surprises
Fit a song to one screen, scroll it, or page it. Keep time with the visual and audio metronome, push lyrics to an external monitor, and drive it all from keys or a foot pedal.
- Single screen, scrolling and paginated modes
- Metronome with tempo memory per song
- External monitor lyrics for audience or band
Features
Everything you need on stage. Nothing you do not.
Nine tools that cover the library, the rehearsal room and the stage.
Chord Transposition
Move to a new key or capo in one tap. Keep a different key per set list, and show capoed or concert pitch per player.
Visual & Audio Metronome
Set a song’s tempo and time signature, then keep time with a visual metronome, an audible beat, or both at once.
Chord Diagrams
Auto diagrams for guitar, mandolin, ukulele and keyboard. Browse variations and save your favourite per song.
Works for bands
Share set lists. Guitar sees capoed chords while keys see concert pitch. Alternative titles for church repertoires.
Online song search
Find songs on supported sites without leaving the app and grow the library in minutes.
Highly customizable
Light and dark themes, Standard, German, Latin and Nashville notation, custom song themes, three presentation modes.
Cloud Sync
Sync your songs and set lists across all your devices with OneDrive or Google Drive, so your library is always with you.
Ink Annotations
Handwritten notes and drawings with pen colours and thickness, saved to songs or set lists.
External Monitor
Present lyrics on a second screen for your audience or band, mirroring your display or showing lyrics only.
Switch and import
Bring your library. Leave the binder.
Three ways in, no binder required. Search online inside the app, open your existing files directly, or paste anything else and tidy it in the editor.
- Online search across supported sites - new songs land straight in your library
- Registered for ChordPro and Word files - double-click to open them in Chordle
- Paste anything else - chords realign, tags and per-song keys kept intact

“Update - still the best, 6 years later! [...] This is still an indispensable tool for me as a working musician. And it's getting BETTER. Developer is super responsive, cares about his product, and it shows. [...] I encourage all the OG chordle fam (Chordlers?) to subscribe & support the development of this amazing app!”

“Our church uses onsong for our main service - I didn't want to get another ipad for our youth group so I tried this out and to be honest I prefer it over onsong. It's intuitive and works great. [...] price wise this takes the cake.”

“I have been a fan for years [...] They reached out and asked me to be in the Beta testing. After listening to EVERY piece of feedback, they really took something that I was a fan of and turned it into something I am fanatical about.”
