Choose a song on your device. Everyone else's screen changes to the same chart, in the same key, at the same moment. No more shouting song titles across a noisy room while five people dig through folders or a 200 page PDF. WHAT IT DOES Live sessions Start a session and share a code. Anyone can join from a phone browser with that code, so the people following along don't need this app or an account. Pick the next song and every screen follows. If you auto-scroll, or manually scroll to a specific spot in the song, every screen follows to that line. Your library, your charts Paste a chart, or upload a PDF or DOCX songbook and let Smart Imports split it into separate songs. Nothing gets scraped or generated. These are the charts you already own, organized and searchable, with tags and play counts. Setlists Build a set ahead of a gig and use it as a baseline. We estimate each song's length as you go, so you know if the set fits the slot. Groups/Bands Set up a group workspace with a shared library, shared setlists, and shared notes. Owner, editor, and member roles keep the chart from getting rewritten during a gig. A new player gets every chart the moment they join. Transpose per person Most useful for capos or down-tuned instruments. Individual users can transpose up/down on a per-song basis, and the leader can also shift everyone up/down at once if needed. Practice mode Tap a chord to see the fingering and hear it. Run a metronome at the song's saved tempo, and keep a link to the recording you're learning from. Offline Your library, setlists, and group charts, are available offline. Basically everything is available offline except for live sessions. Live sessions require an internet connection to broadcast positioning between devices. Foot pedals Bluetooth page-turner pedals work for scrolling and song changes. Works with the web app Same account, same library. Lead from the app, follow on a laptop, join from someone's browser. It's all one thing. WHO USES IT Jam hosts running a weekly night. Stand-ins for live performances. Band practice. Worship teams with a rotating roster. Teachers keeping a class on the same page. Open-mic hosts backing up whoever walks in. Imagine your mandolin player has to miss a gig and you have a random musician standing in for them. With Choordinator, that stand-in can follow along with your entire set without ever touching a device or having to stare at the lead guitar player's hands the whole gig. Slap a tablet in front of them following your session and they're good to go. PRICING Free covers a personal library, imports, practice mode, joining a group, and following any session. Leading a session and creating a group are Pro. Only one Pro subscription is required for a whole band/group. Questions? Reach us at support@choordinator.com.
