What Songkeeper Studio is
Songkeeper Studio is a songwriting app for guitarists that brings recording, lyric and chord writing, and practice tools together. Each song can contain multiple recordings for in-app playback and multiple drafts that users can copy, move to another song, rename, or delete. Guitar tools include chord diagrams, a chromatic tuner, tuning options, and chord transposition. The editor offers word suggestions and rhymes, along with a music keyboard, tablature stamp mode, and trackpad cursor control. For practice, users can set a tempo, work with a metronome or drum loops, and configure tempo-based autoscroll. Reference videos can be linked and played using the built-in YouTube player. The free Basic plan allows five songs, two drafts per song, and two recordings per song. Pro costs $0.99 per month and adds unlimited songs, drafts, and recordings, Cloud Vault, sharing and collaboration, and import and export; it includes a 7-day free trial. The app is available on Android and iOS. Songs are saved locally, and the site warns that they are lost if the app is uninstalled or the phone is lost.
