About

Lyrics Library

Features
Read full description

Search lyrics, tap chords onto the words, and perform from a chart that stays readable on stage. Lyrics Library is your personal songbook. Write original songs, save charts you already know, organize them into folders and setlists, and take them to rehearsal or the gig. SEARCH AND SAVE Look up a song, artist, or lyric line and add it to your library in one tap. Paste an existing chord sheet, or start from a blank page. WRITE WITH CHORDS Type lyrics, then tap a syllable to place a chord. Guitar diagrams help you confirm the shape. ChordPro is supported, so charts you already have drop straight in. PERFORM WITH CONFIDENCE Open a song or a whole setlist in stage view: large type, chords you can hide, transpose and capo on the fly, auto-scroll, and a screen that stays awake. Swipe or use the keyboard to move through the set. ORGANIZE YOUR BOOK Folders for the catalog. Setlists for the night — name, venue, running order. Share a song as plain lyrics, ChordPro, or PDF. YOUR LIBRARY, ON EVERY DEVICE Sign in with Apple or Google to keep songs in the cloud. Use it as a guest first; sign in when you want the library to follow you. Built for singers, guitarists, worship teams, and anyone who would rather look at a chart than a phone full of notes. Lyrics remain the property of their owners. Add and perform only material you have the right to use. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://lyricslibrary.app/privacy

Setlink is the songbook for playing live — and above all, for playing as a band. YOUR SONGBOOK • Chord charts in ChordPro format, with key, BPM, time signature and duration. • Transpose with one tap and show chords as you play them with a capo. • Tap any chord to see how to play it on guitar, ukulele or piano. • Import ChordPro, TXT ("chords over lyrics" is converted for you) and PDF. • Import your Songbook Pro backups with their songs and setlists. • Lyrics-only mode for singers, adjustable text size and a rock-steady metronome (with a visual-only mode). SETLISTS FOR THE GIG • Plan every gig or rehearsal with its date, order and total length. • Full-screen dark live mode with the next song always in sight. • Change songs with a swipe, the keyboard or a Bluetooth page turner. • Set the time you have and Setlink warns you when the setlist runs over. • Share a setlist with its songs in a single file. THE WHOLE BAND ON THE SAME SONG • The leader creates a group and shares their setlists with musicians nearby. • Every musician plays THEIR own version of each song: their key, their notes, their text size. • Setlink matches the leader's songs with yours and only asks you once. • At the gig, when the leader moves to the next song, everyone moves with them. • Works on the same Wi‑Fi or directly between nearby devices — no internet, no accounts. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS Setlink is free for up to 15 songs and for joining a band. A single payment unlocks unlimited songs, leading your band and the tuner, forever. TUNER (PRO) Tune guitar, bass or ukulele with your phone's microphone, right at the gig: note, needle and cents, common tunings and adjustable A4. PRIVATE Your songs stay on your device. No accounts, no ads, no data collection.
