What Chordbot is
Chordbot is a songwriting app for creating and playing chord progressions in different musical styles, with backing tracks for arrangements and practice. It runs on Android and iOS. Its library includes more than 60 chord types in all inversions, and users can choose from more than 70 comping presets or build styles by combining over 400 instrument tracks. An automatic or manual inversion selector helps shape chord changes. Songs can be divided into repeatable sections, each with its own comping style or arrangement, and Song-O-Matic can generate progressions when ideas run short. Chordbot exports songs as MIDI for editing in a DAW or as WAV files for sharing; JSON song files can be shared through file-sharing apps and imported back into the app. MIDI and WAV exports cannot be imported. The free Lite plan disables saving and exporting. Pro costs 4.99 USD once and enables both. The maker grants a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license for commercial recordings and performances using creations.
