What's New in ChordButter

1.5.9

July 23, 2026

I've improved Apple Pencil support for melody input, along with some general fixes. One heads-up: with Scribble enabled, you might still run into some unwanted behavior — specifically, when tapping items quickly, the second tap might not register. For the smoothest experience, I'd recommend disabling Scribble. I also fixed a rare bug where the app didn't respond, and sorted out an uncommon issue where the app could drain battery while running in the background. The app is updated regularly. Suggestions?

Tarifs 😱

Des fonctionnalités intéressantes mais les tarifs sont abusés et l'interface complètement désuète (on est en 2026 les gars).

Not A Bad Name

Chord Butter…. sounds about right. I never leave reviews, but I was having truly an awful awful night. The only thing I could think of in the moment was finding an app that can create instrumental so I can sing and channel my hard times through. This app has a beautiful interface, quick loading, super, super super fun chords that make every generation sound very unique, interesting, modern and makes it very fun. The price is pretty good. If I was to leave one recommendation, I would say to add more instrument variations to the generation. Keep up the great work.
