## What is ChordMuse?

Sketch songs, chord progressions, practise consistently, and unlock music theory - for guitarists, pianists, and songwriters.

ChordMuse, a habit-powered chord progression app designed to help musicians explore harmony, practise consistently, and create music with confidence.

Whether you're a beginner learning theory, a songwriter in search of new ideas, or a musician trying to practise more regularly, ChordMuse offers the tools you need in one beautifully crafted space.


Key Premium Features (requires in-app purchase: subscription or lifetime access)*:

Sketch Full Songs, or Just the Parts
Turn a mood, key, and style into a playable song outline in seconds. Sketch complete songs or focus on individual sections - verses, choruses, bridges, and endings -  then rearrange and refine until the whole idea is yours to play and keep.

Learn With Guided Paths
Follow a step-by-step journey through harmony, with the right lessons lined up in the right order. ChordMuse tracks what you’ve completed and lets you pick up exactly where you left off — so your theory grows naturally, one lesson at a time, without the overwhelm.


Create Progressions Intelligently
Choose a key, and ChordMuse will generate accurate, harmonically sound chord progressions using diatonic theory. Every progression is backed by real music theory — no guesswork, just results.

Learn Through Practice
Use the interactive Circle of Fifths, Roman numeral notation, and chord quality indicators (maj, min, dim) to deepen your understanding while you play.

Play on Piano or Guitar
Toggle between piano and guitar voicings. Hear what each chord sounds like and experiment with your ideas instantly.

Build and Track Habits
Set practice goals, receive smart reminders, and track your consistency. ChordMuse is not just a chord tool — it's a practice companion.

Record and Share Ideas
Capture quick audio clips of your sessions. Whether it’s a riff, progression, or melody, you can save and share your best moments.

Quick notes? We got you covered
Take notes, organise in spaces, add audio, images, even your saved chord progressions in the notes directly making it one stop shop for all your thoughts.  

Built-in Tools for Musicians
Stay in tune with the integrated tuner, and practise rhythm with a flexible metronome that supports custom tempo and time signatures.

Who is ChordMuse For?

Musicians looking to practise more consistently
Guitarists and pianists learning music theory
Songwriters in need of fresh harmonic ideas
Hobbyists, students, and teachers alike

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.0.3 — 2026-10-15

What's New in v4.0.3:

• New: Guitar Club. Learn to play before you start writing, with weekly lessons from your tutor:
   – Video lessons from your tutor, week by week
   – Chord shapes and progressions you can play along to
   – Share your practice videos and get your tutor's feedback
   – Track your progress as you go
   Sign up with Apple, Google or email. Places are limited, so the ChordMuse team reviews each request and activates your account. Everything else in ChordMuse works as it always has, with no sign-in.
• Progressions now sound played, not programmed, with a natural human feel
• Choose the rhythm, time signature, tempo and bass line for playback
• Playback carries on as you move around the app

### 3.2.3 — 2026-09-15

- Bug fixes and enhancements 
- Guitar tuner refresh and various tuning mode

### 3.2.1 — 2026-09-02

ChordMuse learns what you play.
• Made For You: Tell ChordMuse what you play and which chords you know, and Discover opens on progressions chosen for you instead of a list of categories.
• Learns By Ear: Rather than asking you to name a genre, ChordMuse plays you progressions you'll recognise and asks which sound like you.
• Chords You Know: Tap the shapes you can play and your feed leads with progressions you can pick up right now, plus the one chord worth learning next.
• Smart Reminders: Miss a couple of practice sessions in a row, or leave a learning path untouched for a few days, and ChordMuse nudges you once.
• Never Nagging: Keep practising and you'll never hear from it. Every session pushes the reminder further out, and it quietly stops asking if you stop responding.
• Your Time: Nudges arrive around the times you chose for your habits, never overnight, with quiet hours you set yourself.
• Saved Chords: Tap the heart on a chord shape and it waits for you under Saved, ready to play again.
• Last Read: Learning path cards now show when you last opened a lesson, so it's easy to pick up what you drifted away from.
• Chord Shapes: Progression cards show the guitar shape or piano keys for every chord up front. Tap a chord for its other variations.
• Bigger Screens: Notes now shows your spaces, the notes inside them, and the note you're reading side by side on tablets and in landscape.
• In Control: Switch reminders on or off for practice and learning paths separately, all from Settings.

### 3.0.1 — 2026-07-04

What’s New in 3.0.1

• Song Sketch -  Turn a mood, key, and style into a playable song outline, with ideas for verses, choruses, bridges, and endings you can make your own.

• Progression Packs - Start from the exact musical moment you need: an acoustic loop to sing over, a chorus that opens up, a darker turn, or a gentle landing.

• Learning Paths - Follow a guided journey through harmony, one step at a time. Each path lines up the right lessons in order, tracks what you’ve finished, and lets you pick up exactly where you left off.

• Now on Mac — The ChordMuse iPad app now runs on Mac computers with Apple silicon (Download from AppStore on macOS silicon).

• A refreshed look - updated icons and a more consistent layout throughout the app.

### 2.1.2 — 2026-06-20

• Introducing Discord community for ChordMuse!
