ChordSaver turns any chord chart on the web into a clean, stage-ready song your whole band can play from — no more squinting at cluttered tab sites or fighting with ad-covered pages mid-set. IMPORT ANY SONG IN SECONDS Paste a link from Ultimate Guitar, Cifra Club, or almost any chord/tab site, and ChordSaver strips out the ads, tablature, and stray text automatically — leaving just the chords and lyrics, cleanly aligned and ready to play. Chords are detected and color-highlighted automatically, even in tricky notations, and in Spanish, Portuguese, and English chord sheets. BUILD YOUR SHOWS Group songs into Shows — one per gig, rehearsal, or set list. Reorder songs with a tap, and copy or move any song between shows when your setlist changes. Add a new song mid-rehearsal and the list scrolls right to it. PLAY WITH CONFIDENCE ON STAGE • Auto-scroll glides through the song at your speed — swipe anytime to jump ahead or back without breaking the flow. • Stage Mode goes full-screen with high-contrast text built for stage lighting, and keeps your screen awake for the whole set. • Jump to the previous or next song in your show without ever leaving the reader. • Transpose on the fly and zoom the text to whatever's comfortable from where you're standing. EDIT EVERYTHING YOUR WAY Didn't come out perfect? Open the built-in editor to fix the text, chords, or song info by hand. Title and artist swapped on import? One tap fixes it. Made a change you regret? Revert to the original imported version anytime. SHARE A WHOLE SHOW WITH YOUR BAND Send an entire show — every song, every chord, every order — to your bandmates in one share. Everyone shows up with the exact same setlist, so nobody's scrambling for the right key or the right song order at soundcheck.
