## What is SeeChord?

Ever wanted to see the chords playing in a song — right as you hear them? SeeChord syncs real-time chord progressions, scale degrees, and beat timing to your Apple Music library. Whether you're a guitarist learning songs by ear, a pianist looking for chord charts, a producer studying harmony, or a music theory student — SeeChord turns every song into a learning experience.

REAL-TIME CHORD DISPLAY
See chord changes the moment they happen, synced to Apple Music playback at 30fps precision. Chords are beautifully formatted with proper music notation — sharps, flats, slash chords, sevenths, suspended, diminished, and more.

INTERACTIVE CHORD TIMELINE
A piano-roll style timeline shows every chord in the entire song at a glance. Drag to seek, adjust sync offset with fine-tune handles, and watch the playhead glide through chord blocks color-coded by quality — major, minor, dominant, diminished, augmented, and suspended.

MUSIC SHEET
A lead-sheet chord chart organizes chords by measure, derived from detected downbeats. The current measure highlights during playback and auto-scrolls to follow along — pause to browse the full sheet. Perfect for rehearsal and getting an overview of the entire song structure.

SCALE DEGREES & MUSIC THEORY
Instantly see the Roman numeral (I, IV, V, vi) or Arabic number scale degree for every chord. View the full key signature, BPM, and time signature. Perfect for understanding song structure, analyzing progressions, and training your ear.

SYNCED LYRICS
Follow along with time-synchronized lyrics. The current line highlights and scales up as the song plays. Tap any line to jump to that moment.

BEAT VISUALIZATION
Downbeats and subdivisions pulse in time with the music. The album artwork breathes with subtle beat-synced animation — a tactile, immersive listening experience.

YOUR FULL APPLE MUSIC LIBRARY
Browse your playlists, artists, albums, and recently played songs. Search thousands of songs with chord data available. A green badge shows which songs have chord progressions ready to go.

BEAUTIFUL, ADAPTIVE DESIGN
Colors extracted from album artwork tint the entire player — background, accent, and highlights shift to match every song. Built with SF Pro Rounded typography, smooth spring animations, and full landscape support.

### 5/5 — 挺好用的

*2026-08-25*

一定要坚持更新呀！已年费支持！

### 1/5 — 不好用

*2026-06-07*

和弦不准而且歌曲很少
还必须和苹果的音乐软件一起用，捆绑销售

**Developer response:** 你好，
和弦准确率有90%，少部分时间轴有偏移的可能需要手动调节一下。
目前曲库中有几万首歌，如果暂时没有，可以在线请求分析，大部分能支持。
最后解释一下，不存在所谓捆绑销售，app依赖苹果音乐的版权才能播放歌曲，其他平台不支持接入，所以需要订阅apple music。
