What Chord! is
Chord! is a reference app for chords and scales aimed at musicians practicing or performing. It computes fingerings for chords, scales, and arpeggios rather than relying on a fixed list. The app supports guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, and cavaquinho, with different tunings, reverse chord lookup, a voicing explorer, chord chart export, and chord audio playback. Its music-theory tools suggest scales for given chords and harmonize scales into chords. About one hundred tunings are included, and users can create tunings, configure capos, and specify broken strings. On Apple devices, the songbook stores unlimited songs with chords and lyrics, supports transposition and alternate instrument fingerings, and imports pasted chord-and-lyric text. Songs export as full-vector PDFs and can include MP3 or AAC files with adjustable pitch or speed. iCloud sync covers iPhone, iPad, and Apple silicon Macs. Chord! is available on Android, iOS, and macOS. It is paid, with no price listed here.
