About the App

It’s built for musicians who want their chords, tabs, and lyrics organized, readable, and performance-ready—whether you’re practicing at home or on stage. It’s part of the smartChord ecosystem and works as a plugin, so you’ll need the main smartChord app installed to use it. Prefer a bigger screen? It runs nicely on BlueStacks, too.
