## What is SongNote?

Songwriting should feel simple.

SongNote is a simple songwriting notebook focused on one thing: writing lyrics and placing chords—without sheet music, MIDI keyboards, samplers, or complicated production tools.

Write down lyrics as they come to you and place chords directly above the words. Chords stay connected as you edit your lyrics, so you can develop each idea as naturally as writing in a paper notebook.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH SONGNOTE

• Write and edit lyrics freely
• Place chords above your lyrics
• Move or delete chords
• Keep chords connected to lyrics as you edit
• Organize song titles, BPM, and notes
• Add or delete lines
• Adjust text size
• Choose your Top Page design
• Switch between Japanese and English
• Use Performance Mode for a clean, readable view
• Auto-scroll while playing or singing
• Share lyrics and chords as an image

PERFECT FOR

• Songwriters who want to keep lyrics and chords together
• Guitarists and singer-songwriters creating chord sheets
• Lyricists, composers, musicians, and band members
• Bands sharing ideas for new songs
• Anyone who writes music without sheet music or music theory tools
• Anyone who wants a simple songwriting app instead of a complex studio

SongNote was created to support music made by people—the time spent searching for words, finding chords, and turning an idea into a song.

A quiet, simple notebook by your side whenever you write music.
