## What is SeeChord?

Ever wanted to see the chords of a song — right as you hear them? SeeChord syncs real-time chord progressions, scale degrees, and beat timing to your Apple Music library. And now it can pull a song apart: Stem Mode splits any track into six instruments you can mute, solo, and mix while the chords keep rolling.

NEW: STEM MODE
Split a song into six separate tracks — vocals, piano, guitar, bass, drums, and everything else — then mix them live. Mute the guitar and play the part yourself. Solo the bass to learn a line note for note. Drop the vocals for an instant backing track. Every track is a pad: drag it to set its level, tap it to mute, hit solo to hear it alone. The mixer opens inside the player's transport, so the chord timeline, sheet, or lyrics stay full size and keep scrolling above your mix.

STEMS THAT WORK OFFLINE
Separated songs stay on your device — and they bring their chords, chord sheet, and lyrics with them. Open Stem Storage and play any saved song with no connection at all — on a plane, in a practice room, anywhere. Remove a set whenever you want the space back.

REAL-TIME CHORD DISPLAY
See chord changes the moment they happen, synced to Apple Music playback at 30fps precision. Chords are formatted with proper music notation — sharps, flats, slash chords, sevenths, suspended, diminished, and more. Transpose to any key without leaving the player.

INTERACTIVE CHORD TIMELINE
A piano-roll style timeline shows every chord in the song at a glance. Drag to seek, fine-tune the sync offset, 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 for seeing song structure at a glance.

SCALE DEGREES & MUSIC THEORY
Instantly see the Roman numeral (I, IV, V, vi) or Arabic number scale degree for every chord, with your choice of do-based or la-based numbering in minor keys. View the full key signature, BPM, and time signature.

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, and the artwork breathes with subtle beat-synced animation.

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.

ADAPTIVE DESIGN
Colors extracted from album artwork tint the whole player — background, accent, and highlights shift with every song. Smooth spring animations, full landscape and iPad support.

### 5/5 — 学音乐必备！

*2026-08-30*

太好了！一直想要这样的app

### 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。
