Repertuar is a songbook you fill yourself: the lyrics and chords of the songs you play, ready for the stage. No account, no sign-in, no subscription. CHORDS WHERE THEY BELONG • Write a chord in brackets before the syllable it lands on: [Am] • Paste a sheet with chords on the line above and fold it inline in one tap • Chords are colored by note, so a change catches your eye • Section headings on their own line, e.g. [Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge] TAP A CHORD, SEE THE SHAPE • Guitar, ukulele and piano diagrams for every chord in the song STAGE MODE • Large type, dark screen, the display stays awake • Auto-scroll at your speed, transpose in one tap • Swipe to the next song in the set • Metronome and Bluetooth page-turner pedal (Pro) SETLISTS • Drag songs into playing order, add breaks, see the running time • Tonight's set on your Home Screen widget and Lock Screen while you play • Open a song or start a setlist with Siri and Shortcuts KNOW YOUR REPERTOIRE • Smart lists: Most Played and Not Played in a While, so the songs you let slip come back • Statistics: your most played songs, the keys and tempos you play in, and how your library grows • Pro adds your practice streak, a 12-week practice calendar and a chord map • After a set, a gig summary you can share • Statistics are worked out on your iPhone and sent nowhere BRING YOUR SONGS IN • Import and export ChordPro • Turn photos or a PDF of a chord sheet into one editable song (Pro, needs internet) KEEP THEM SAFE • Automatic backup to your own iCloud Drive, and restore from it • Recently Deleted keeps a song for 30 days • Export to PDF (Pro) or a backup file FREE AND PRO Free: up to 10 songs and 1 setlist, with stage mode, chord diagrams, smart lists, library statistics and backup. Pro: unlimited songs and setlists, metronome, PDF export, photo import, page-turner support and practice statistics (streak, calendar, chord map). One payment, yours for life. No subscription. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account, no ads, no analytics. Your library lives on your device and in your own iCloud. Photo import is the only feature that sends song content to our server: the image goes to Anthropic's Claude to be read and is not stored by us. Repertuar ships no lyrics and downloads none. It is the notebook you fill yourself.
