## What is Song Hive?

Song Hive is the personal music library and practice companion for the songs you actually play.

If you've ever opened a notebook, a Google Doc, a pile of chord PDFs, and an Apple Note to dig up a song you learned last year, this is for you. Song Hive keeps every song in one place, tracks how well you know it, and tells you what to practise next so the ones you half-know don't quietly slip away.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Build a repertoire that sticks
- Chords, lyrics, and personal notes for every song
- Tag by band, genre, gig, or any category that fits how you think
- Search, sort, and browse your whole library at a glance

Stop forgetting songs you learned
- Rate lyrics and music familiarity separately on a 0–5 scale
- Spaced-repetition scheduling surfaces the songs that need you most
- Instrumentalists can switch the lyrics axis off; vocalists can hide music
- A forecast calendar shows the weeks ahead

Practice sessions that play themselves
- Tap start and Song Hive sweeps you through what's due, full-screen
- Each song opens to the right tab at your saved font size and scroll speed
- Rate when you're done; tomorrow's list updates automatically
- The Practice Randomiser picks a song at any familiarity level you choose

Set lists for every gig
- Drag to reorder; pick chords, lyrics, or notes per song
- Import a set from a public Spotify playlist or album URL
- Perform mode: full-screen, swipe between songs with a counter
- Practice mode: rehearse the whole gig end-to-end with ratings as you go
- AirDrop a set to a bandmate — Song Hive merges it without overwriting their edits

Hands-free on stage
- Pinch-to-zoom font sizing from 8pt to 40pt, remembered per song
- Auto-scroll from 0.25x to 4x, saved per song
- Keep-screen-awake for a dedicated teleprompter feel

Daily reminders that work
- As many schedules as you need, with per-day toggles and per-schedule session size
- Tap the notification and land straight inside a practice session

Your library, everywhere
- iCloud sync keeps songs, set lists, tags, familiarity, and practice history in lockstep across iPhone and iPad
- Import / Export a .songhive file to back up, migrate, or share only the sections you want

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.14.2 — 2026-07-27

Song Hive now speaks your language — 8 languages, automatic from your device locale.

English, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Brazilian Portuguese. To use a specific language within Song Hive, go to iOS Settings → Song Hive → Language.

Auto-scroll that locks to the song itself:
• Time-synced scroll: each lyric line hits the page midpoint as it's sung; chord sheets scroll in step
• Auto-scroll pre-roll: first line holds at the top while the playhead descends, so you can read the opening before it moves
• One-tap Sync pill on songs that have lyrics but no timing yet
• Clock icon on the Lyrics tab marks sync-ready songs at a glance

Tuning, capo and a built-in tuner, first-class on every song:
• Standard, Drop D, DADGAD, Open G, and more — auto-detected on chord import
• Capo picker from None up the neck
• Built-in tuner on the Perform screen with a live cents needle

Know the tempo of every song:
• Add a BPM to any song — type it in, or tap Get BPM to fetch it automatically from the artist and title
• Auto-import fills the tempo in for new songs on its own; the BPM shows on the Perform screen and syncs across your devices
• Turn it all on or off in Settings → BPM

Also in this release:
• AirDropped and shared .songhive files now open straight into the import screen — no Open In step
• Auto-scroll fixes: fixed-speed scrolling stops cleanly at the end of the song, the top-of-song pre-roll always plays, and the default speed is a touch gentler
• Smarter spaced practice: extra sessions within a recall cycle no longer compound the interval; a mid-cycle slip resets the cycle so the song comes back sooner
• Sync reliability: Force Full Sync and Push All Songs are always visible in the Sync Log; grandfathered unlimited access propagates to new devices; CloudKit transient errors no longer silently drop songs — failed records stay queued and retry
• What's New popup on upgrade and an Update available prompt when a newer version is on the App Store
• Settings → About: User Guide and Release Notes links, one tap away
• Dynamic Type: layouts grow live with iOS system text size
• UG Official tabs at the top of chord-search results; paywall links save as a tappable pill
• Lyrics from LRCLIB arrive with verse breaks
• Familiarity ratings, song edits, and set-list changes propagate across screens instantly
• Per-song font size, scroll speed, and split-view height survive a sync round-trip
• Recoverable error screen with a Continue button — no forced restart

### 3.12.2 — 2026-05-29

Song Hive now speaks your language — 8 languages, automatic from your device locale.

English, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Brazilian Portuguese. To use a specific language within Song Hive, go to iOS Settings → Song Hive → Language.

### 3.10.0 — 2026-05-17

Auto-scroll that locks to the song itself — and a built-in tuner that fits the tuning you've set on each song.

• Time-synced auto-scroll: for songs whose lyrics are on LRCLIB, each line hits the page midpoint at the moment it's sung. Chord sheets that pair with the synced lyrics scroll the same way
• Auto-scroll pre-roll: the first line stays at the top of the screen until the playhead reaches the page midpoint, so you can read or sing the opening line before it moves
• One-tap "Sync" pill on songs that already have lyrics but no timing — fetches lrclib in place, leaves any manual lyric edits alone
• Clock icon next to the Lyrics tab when a song has synced timing, so you can spot sync-ready songs at a glance

Tuning, capo and a built-in tuner, first-class on every song:
• Structured tuning field with presets for Standard, Drop D, Double Drop D, DADGAD, Open G, Open D, Open E, and Half-step down
• Capo field from None up the neck, with a segmented chip picker
• Tuning and capo auto-detected when you import chords from Ultimate Guitar — paste a DADGAD capo-2 song and it lands with both fields already set
• Read-only tuning and capo pills on the Perform screen so you know whether to re-tune or move the capo before you play
• Filter the song list by tuning or capo to group songs that share a setup
• Built-in tuner on the Perform screen with a live cents needle, auto-detect or tap a string to focus

Smarter spaced practice:
• Practice an extra time within a recall cycle and the schedule no longer pushes the next-due date out — extra sessions fold into the current cycle instead of compounding the interval
• A mid-cycle slip in familiarity collapses the cycle back to the start so the song comes back sooner
• Practice history chart now shows one dot per recall cycle for a cleaner timeline

Chord and lyric import polish:
• Ultimate Guitar Official tabs are now a labelled type at the top of chord-search results
• If an Official tab sits behind UG's paywall, save its link to the chord field as a tappable pill that opens UG in your browser
• Lyrics imported from LRCLIB now arrive with proper verse breaks instead of one concatenated block
• Compact per-tab Import buttons sit directly above each content tab

Also in this release:
• Dynamic Type support — change your iPhone's system text size and Song Hive's rows, pills, chips, and headers grow with it, live, no restart
• Familiarity ratings, song edits, and set list changes propagate across screens instantly
• Per-song font size, scroll speed, and split-view height now survive an iCloud sync round-trip
• One-off errors can be recovered from the error screen with a Continue button — no forced restart
• Pinch-to-zoom in the inline editor no longer clips content behind the outline
• Pull-to-sync spinner on the song list now sits cleanly below the floating Liquid Glass header on iOS 26

### 3.8.1 — 2026-05-03

• Better use of spaced learning algorithm if you add ad hoc practice session as well as scheduled ones
• Bug fixes

### 3.7.1 — 2026-04-27

Tuning, capo and a built-in tuner are now first-class on every song — and the whole app responds to your iPhone's text size.

• Capo field from None up the neck, with a segmented chip picker

• Filter the song list by tuning or capo to group songs that share a setup
• Built-in tuner on the Perform screen — mic-driven pitch detection with a live cents needle, auto-detect or tap a string to focus

Also in this release:
• Dynamic Type support — change your iPhone's system text size and Song Hive's rows, pills, chips, and headers grow with it, live, no restart
• Familiarity ratings, song edits, and set list changes now propagate across screens instantly — no need to back out and re-enter
• Per-song font size, scroll speed, and split-view height now survive an iCloud sync round-trip
