For the campfire and the big stage. chords.live sits quietly in the background so your performance doesn’t have to.
Every iPad in your band follows the same song, part, and playhead — automatically. Rehearsals and shows stay locked together without a click track or a stage manager.
Advance songs, jump between parts, and fire cues with any Bluetooth foot pedal — HID or MIDI. Default mappings work out of the box; every button is remappable.
Load presets on song change. Route CC, PC, Note, and SysEx across multiple channels and devices. Learn mode captures messages for you — no keying in SysEx by hand.
The small things that keep you off your screen and on your instrument.
Tap and drag to place chords over lyrics — no counting spaces or fighting monospaced text. Paste from any source or import a PDF; text and PDF both work side by side.
Guitar, bass, keys, vocals — each band member opens the same song and sees their own part. Switch parts on the fly per player, without a second file.
Karaoke-style programmable scrolling, static timing, or foot-controller cues. Whatever keeps your eyes on the fretboard, not the tablet.
Attach audio to any song and trigger it with a tap, a pedal, or a MIDI message from your set. Perfect for solo acts and duos filling out the sound.
Every song, set, and trigger is backed up automatically. Sign in on a new iPad and your whole library is there. No manual exports, no lost gig folders.
Share selected sets with your band. One Pro subscription covers everyone — shared songs count against your quota, not theirs.
Paste chords and lyrics from any source, or import PDFs. Our smart parser automatically formats everything beautifully.
Create setlists for different gigs. Swipe through songs during performance mode with smooth transitions.
Auto-scroll with audio playback, trigger MIDI commands, and sync with your band. Everything you need in performance mode.
