Read full descriptionHide full description
Lyrics and chords, in one notebook your whole band shares. SongNote is the world's simplest songwriting notebook - no sheet music, no MIDI, just lyrics and chords. It feels like writing in a paper notebook, so you can jot down words and chords the moment they come to you. Share a song with your bandmates, and when anyone changes a lyric or a chord, it shows up on everyone's screen right away. Shape the "let's change this part" moments from the studio together. WRITE TOGETHER AS A BAND • Real-time sharing: edits reach everyone's screen in seconds • Comments and @mentions: leave notes like "break here" under any line, notify bandmates, and react with emoji • Invite by username, QR code, or link, and show the chart in a browser to bandmates without an iPhone • Keep writing even with a weak signal in the studio; changes sync when you're back online WRITE • Place chords above lyrics with a tap - they follow along when you edit the words • Sections (Verse, Chorus...), line reordering, undo and redo • Set the song's key and transpose all chords at once • Lyrics and music credits PLAY • Performance mode with large, easy-to-read text and auto-scroll matched to the BPM • Guitar chord diagrams SongNote 2.6.0 adds My Note, a binder for your song ideas, and Read, one songwriting column a day.

Sign in with Apple or Google is required. In an age when AI can make songs, SongNote was born to support music that people write - choosing each word with care, and playing it with their own hands. A songwriting notebook that quietly stays by your side while you and your band make music.
