About this app
What Chordbook does
Chordbook is the offline repertoire manager every guitarist has wanted but never found. Save songs with their chord charts, organized into labeled sections (Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge), then let the built-in transpose stepper shift every chord up or down by semitone so you can match any singer or capo position in seconds. Mark songs as “learning” or “known” to stay honest about your real repertoire. Build setlists for gigs, open mics, or practice sessions and pull them up on stage with a tap. A quick-reference chord chart covers the shapes you always forget. Everything runs on SwiftData with zero network calls. • Song library with key, capo, and labeled chord sections • Instant semitone transpose that rewrites every chord live • Learning / Known status filter to see your true repertoire • Setlists with drag-to-reorder • Built-in chord reference for common shapes • No account, no cloud, no ads
Features
Built to be useful, not noisy.
Song repertoire
Create songs with title, artist, key, capo, and any number of labeled chord sections. Filter the list by Learning or Known status.
Live transpose
A semitone stepper on the song detail screen rewrites every chord in all sections instantly, with capo suggestion displayed alongside.
Setlists
Create named setlists, drag songs into order, and display them full-screen for gig or practice use.
Chord reference
A built-in chart of common open and barre chord shapes, searchable by chord name, available offline.
Why it exists
The problem
Guitarists maintain their song repertoire across scattered notes apps, camera-roll photos of chord sheets, and napkins — with no way to transpose chords on the fly, track what they actually know, or build a clean setlist without scrolling through chaos.
What's different
How Chordbook stands out
Chordbook is the only offline-first, SwiftData repertoire app that combines freeform chord-section editing with a live semitone transpose engine, a learning/known status layer, and drag-reorder setlists — without requiring an account, cloud sync, or subscription to use any core feature.
