    The set you actually play

    • Alternates: the songs you're carrying, not the ones you're playing Move a song below the line and it stays attached to the setlist with its cheat sheet ready, but out of the running order and out of the count, the running time and your played stats. It comes with you when you duplicate the set, it's on the live view one tap away, and it's on the printed chart book too, so the song somebody shouts for is one you already have. Free.
    • Tell a setlist how long it should be Set a target length and the setlist page counts down as you add songs, then says how far over you've gone. It also tells you how many of those songs have no length on file, because a countdown that quietly ignores four untimed songs is how a 45 minute slot turns into an hour. Free.
    • A floor sheet you can actually read from where you stand One page, the running order in the biggest type that fits, the key beside each song and the alternates along the bottom. It sizes itself to the length of your set and goes to two columns before it goes small, and it never shrinks past readable, so a long set becomes two pages rather than a page you have to crouch to read. It's in the same Export menu as the chart book and the track list. Premium.

    Play it in your key

    • Move a chart to the key you sing it in Tap plus or minus on the song page or in the live view and the chart moves, in the key it is written in beside the key you land in. It is yours alone: nobody else's screen changes, which is the same rule that has always kept your cheat sheet panel from being dragged around by a bandmate. Nothing is rewritten, so what you typed is still there, and a PDF you export prints in the key you moved it to and says so on the page. Premium.
    • Read charts in Nashville numbers One setting in your profile turns every chart into numbers, everywhere you read them, with the minor on the number and the slash bass numbered too. A sheet with no key on it stays in letters and tells you why, because numbers against a guessed key are wrong in a way that looks right. Premium.
    • Start the live view in stage mode Turn it on once and the device you gig with opens straight into stage mode. It is a starting point, not a setting that follows you around: any device you toggle stage mode on or off remembers its own choice from then on, so the laptop you plan setlists on stays normal. Your profile settings now have sections and an index, which is where you will find it. Free.

    Survives a real gig

    • Your screen stays awake through the set Turn on Stage mode from the Aa button on the live view and the screen stops going dark between songs, the song list gets out of the way, and there is a tap zone down each edge for the next and previous song. It says on its face whether it has the screen locked awake, because a setting that quietly is not working is worse than one that says it cannot. Free.
    • Make the type as big as you need, and use both halves of an iPad Type size runs from 75% to 250%, and on a tablet or wider you can run a long sheet in two columns instead of scrolling. Both are on the live view and in your profile settings, and both stick to your account, so a screen you can read from where you stand is set once. Free, and it always will be.
    • Your foot pedal turns the page Page-turner pedals work as Bluetooth keyboards, so the two commonest pedal modes already move you through the setlist with no setup at all. If yours sends something else, your profile settings will listen for it: press the pedal and pick what it should do. Free.
    • One-tap signals: vamp, last chorus, cut it A leader can say it without typing it, which is the thing that made messaging awkward mid-song. Five buttons, sent to the whole band or to one player exactly as a typed message is, and a signal lands on everyone's screen far bigger and stays up longer than an ordinary note, with a thumbs up to send back so you know it was seen. Band.

    Chords over the lyrics, and your charts can come and go as they please

    • A new kind of cheat sheet: Chart Write a song out in ChordPro and the chords sit over the syllables they belong to, on the song page, on stage and in your exported PDF. It reflows instead of scrolling sideways, so a long line still reads on a phone. This is an option and never a chore: the Chart tab only appears on songs where you have written one, so if your cheat sheets are four lines of reminders, nothing changes for you. Free.
    • Bring your charts over from another app Open a song, choose Import a chart, and a ChordPro file from Songbook Pro, OnSong, Chordii or anywhere else becomes a Chart cheat sheet on it. It shows you the chart before saving anything, so you can back out if you grabbed the wrong file. Importing always attaches to the song you started from and never creates one, so it cannot leave you with two nearly identical songs. Importing is Free, and it is meant to stay that way: moving off another app should not cost you anything.
    • Paste a chart off a chord site and let it sort the lines out If the chords are on their own lines above the lyrics, the way most chord sites write them, one click turns that into a chart with everything lined up. It shows you the result rather than quietly rewriting what you pasted, because the guess is occasionally wrong and your paste is yours. Free.
    • Jump to the chorus mid-song When a cheat sheet has sections in it, live mode puts a row of buttons above the panel so you can go straight to one. It reads them however you write them, so a chart's directives, a plain line reading [Chorus], and a heading all work. Free, and your panel still only moves when you touch it.
    • Capo suggestions, from the key you already filled in Set a guitar sheet's key and the editor tells you which capo positions put you in open chords, so Eb becomes capo 3 to play in C. The card shows what you are actually fingering once a capo is set. Free.
    • Export a chart, or a whole show, as ChordPro One cheat sheet as a file, or an entire setlist as a single file another chart app will open, with your own sheets only and the set breaks kept in. It sits with the PDF chart book and the track list under the same Export button. Premium.

    A public page if you play on your own, plus video, songs and a way to be booked

    • Soloists get the same page a band gets Your public profile now carries your own upcoming dates, exactly the way a band page carries a band's. Same link you already had, so nothing you have shared stops working, and nobody has to invent a one-person band to have somewhere to send a fan. Free. Turn it on, and pick which dates it announces, from your profile settings.
    • Share the songs you play Publish everything you have marked In repertoire as a searchable list, so somebody can check whether you play a particular song before they ask. Anything marked Want to learn is never shown. A separate switch from the page itself, because announcing your dates and publishing your whole set list are different decisions. Free.
    • One YouTube video on the page Paste a link and it plays on your page. Any YouTube address works, including a share link or a short. Free.
    • A booking email, so people can actually reach you An address of your choosing, shown as a link somebody can tap to email you about a date. It is separate from the address you sign in with, and blank until you fill it in. Free.

  6. August 09, 2026

    A public page for your band

    • Your band, at a link you can share Every band now has a page at a short address you can paste into an Instagram bio or print on a poster. Your name and logo, where you're from, a short bio, one link, and who's in the band. A leader turns it on from the band page, and it stays off until they do. Free.
    • Announce your dates on it Tick the confirmed shows you want a fan to see and the page lists the venue, the city and the downbeat time. Never the fee, never the contact, never the rider. Cancel one and it stays on the page marked cancelled rather than vanishing, because somebody has that date in their calendar. Publishing is free; the gigs themselves are Band.
    • Gigs have a city now Alongside the venue and the address, and it is what makes a public listing readable: "The Anchor" tells a stranger nothing, "The Anchor, Port Washington" tells them where to turn up. The address stays private. Premium for your own gigs, Band for a band's.

    Publishing a cheat sheet takes one click

    • Publish from the sheet itself Every cheat sheet you own now carries a Publish button, next to Edit and Delete. It used to be a Visibility menu at the bottom of the edit form, which meant opening a page to find it. Unpublish sits in the same place, so nothing asks you to confirm on the way in. Free.
    • Publish everything for a song at once A Publish button on the song page and on each row of your song library shares all of your sheets for that song in one go. Publishing from the library keeps your filters and your place in the list, so you can work straight down it. Anything you marked Private is left alone, and it tells you how many. Free.
    • Your own published sheets show up on the song page The Public tab used to hide your own work from you, so a sheet listed on Discover read as "no public cheat sheets for this song yet" on the song's own page. It now lists yours alongside everyone else's, including one still waiting on review. Free.

  8. August 05, 2026

    Discover is open to everyone

    • Share a cheat sheet with anyone Discover, a song's public cheat sheets, and shared setlists no longer need an account to read. Send a bandmate a link to a chart and they can open it, whether or not they have signed up. Free.
    • Public song pages A song carrying an approved public cheat sheet now has a page a search engine can find, with the chords, lyrics and tab people have published for it. Your own sheets are untouched: a song page is only public when somebody has published for it, and it never shows a private or bandmate sheet. Free.

  9. August 05, 2026

    Gigs, and splitting what they pay

    • Gig sheets The booking around the setlist: venue, load-in and set times, the fee, who to call, and what the rider says. Link a gig to its setlist and the date writes itself through. Premium for your own gigs, Band for a band's.
    • The payout splitter Take expenses off the fee and split the rest across whoever played, equally or weighted per person, with the leftover pennies distributed rather than lost. A calculator, not money movement. Band.

  10. August 04, 2026

    Shared setlists, and analytics for soloists

    • Setlists on Discover Publish a setlist for other players to clone, or clone theirs into your own account. A clone is yours to change, with no link back to the original. Free, on both sides.
    • Your own analytics The same numbers for the setlists you own, with no band required. Nobody has to invent a one-person band to see stats about their own gigs. Premium.

  11. August 03, 2026

    Analytics for your band

    • Band analytics Most-played songs, how long your sets actually run, and the keys you really play in, across everyone's setlists. Band.
    • Bulk repertoire import Turn everything you have already played into repertoire entries in one go, without overwriting anything already filed. Band.

  12. August 02, 2026

    Tags, repertoire status, and a rebuilt dashboard

    • Tags Sort your library into your own vocabulary, then filter by it on the song list and when adding songs to a setlist. Premium to create them; filtering by tags you already have stays free.
    • Repertoire status Mark what you know from what you are still learning, personally or for a band. Premium for your own, Band for a band's.
    • One setlist list Personal and band setlists in a single sortable, filterable table with an Owner column, instead of two stacked lists. Free.
    • A dashboard that answers what's next Ordered by show date rather than what you last touched, so the next gig leads. Free.

  13. July 29, 2026

    PDF export, set breaks, show dates and roles

    • Export a setlist to PDF Your own sheets, in running order, as a chart book you can print. Never a bandmate's. Premium.
    • The synced set-break countdown Everyone's screen counts down the same break, so the band comes back at the same time. Band, or Premium on a setlist of your own.
    • Show dates, and Show vs Rehearsal A setlist can carry the date of the gig and say whether it was a real one. Free.
    • Performance roles Who is on lead vocal, who takes the solo, song by song. Band.
    • A first-run tutorial, and Add to Home Screen A walkthrough on your first sign-in, and instructions for installing the app so it opens full-screen with no browser bars. Free.

  14. July 25, 2026

    Plans and billing

    • Premium and Band Two paid tiers, on top of a free tier meant to be genuinely usable rather than a trial. Band includes everything in Premium and covers the whole band, not each member. Monthly plans start with a 14-day free trial, and both tiers can be bought once instead.

  15. July 22, 2026

    Discover, profiles and Google sign-in

    • Public cheat sheets Publish a sheet for other players, rate theirs, follow one straight into your live set, or copy it outright and make it your own. Free, on both sides.
    • Profiles and band logos Profile pictures, band logos, and an optional public profile listing the songs you have added and the roles you play. Free.
    • Sign in with Google One fewer password. Free.

  16. July 18, 2026

    The live view

    • Live mode Built for an iPad on a stand. Your leader can highlight what's up next, but your own cheat sheet only ever moves when you tap it. Nobody can yank the page out from under you mid-song. Free.
    • Your live set, per song Choose which of your sheets come up on stage and in what order, so the chart you need is the one in front of you. Free.

  17. July 17, 2026

    Tabbed sheets, bandmate sheets, and search

    • One tab per kind of sheet Chords, lyrics, tab, structure and cues each get their own tab on a song, instead of one undifferentiated note. Free.
    • Peek at a bandmate's sheet See how the rest of the band writes a song out, with a global toggle and a per-song override. Free.
    • Search everything One box across songs, setlists and bands. Free.

  18. June 27, 2026

    • Setlists, songs and cheat sheets Build a running order, write out the chords and lyrics you need for each song, and pull the lot up on stage. Free, and unlimited.
    • Bands Share a setlist with the people you play with. Everyone keeps their own cheat sheets for the same song. Free.
