## What is LyriCue?

Built by a gigging musician (me) for anyone wanting to remember words quickly and effectively. LyriCue uses proven active-recall techniques to help you memorize lyrics.
MASTER YOUR REPERTOIRE
▸ Progressive Hiding: Gradually hide words, letters, or lines (0% to 100%) - training your mind to remember.
▸ Emoji Memory Cues: Tap a word to replace it with an emoji - akin to proven “memory palace” techniques of word and image association.
▸ Draw & Annotate: Use Apple Pencil or your finger to circle trouble spots, add performance reminders, or add chord and notation diagrams.
ORGANIZE & IMPORT
▸ Easy Import: Search for any song and import lyrics instantly from an online database, or scan handwritten or printed lyrics, or import ChordPro and text files, or copy-paste from AZLyrics, Google, or Ultimate Guitar (with chords!).
▸ Transpose & Edit: Add chords to any song and organize them into custom setlists, and change keys of chords instantly.
▸ iCloud Sync: Your library stays in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
GO PREMIUM TO UNLOCK EVERYTHING

▸ Unlimited song library
▸ Full Markup Kit: Highlighter, multi-colored pens, sticky notes, and graphic shapes (chords/staff)
