About My Chord Book

Your personal songbook — the songs you actually play, with the chords the way you play them. My Chord Book is made for working musicians: get a song down fast, and find it again in seconds when you haven't played it for two years. It is a song book, not a lesson platform and not a library of other people's tabs. HANDWRITE YOUR SONGS Open a book, swipe to the blank page and start writing with Apple Pencil. Lyrics, chords, arrows, the reminder you scribble in the margin — a new song is created with your first stroke. Pen, marker, highlighter, eraser, lasso and undo are one tap away, and a double-tap on your Apple Pencil switches to the eraser. Turn on ruler lines when you want your writing straight. BOOKS, CHAPTERS AND SONGS Organise your repertoire like a real songbook. Books for bands or projects, chapters for sets, and a table of contents you tap to jump anywhere. Swipe to turn pages. Move songs between chapters, reorder them, delete the ones you no longer play. A CHORD FINDER FOR GROWN-UP CHORDS Build any chord — root, quality, 6/7/9/11/13, flat5, sharp5, flat9, sharp9, sharp11, sus2, sus4 — and see every position on the fretboard in the fret range you choose. Tap the frets you actually use and save that voicing to the song. Keep as many voicings per chord as you need: the chord you play in the verse and the one you play in the bridge. Note and scale modes are there too, when you are working something out. CHORD DIAGRAMS WHERE YOU NEED THEM Saved chords appear as diagrams along the top of the song. Drag them into the order you play them, or drag one down onto the page, right next to the line where it happens. YOUR FILES. YOUR SONGS. NO ACCOUNT. Every book is a .chordbook file in the Files app. It syncs through iCloud Drive, works offline at the rehearsal room with no signal, and you can AirDrop a whole book to a bandmate. No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads. Your songs stay yours. Made for iPad and Apple Pencil. Runs on iPhone for looking things up. Coming next: notate complete lead sheets by hand — bars, repeats, odd time signatures, and chords recognised straight from your handwriting.
