Create chord progressions fast
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Just The Chords is a focused songbook for guitarists who care about structure and simplicity.
Instead of crowded tabs and distracting lyrics, Just The Chords lets you capture only what matters: chord progressions, song sections, capo positions, and custom voicings—presented in a clean, elegant interface built for real practice and performance.
When creating chord diagrams, you can start typing a chord name to see suggested chords and voicings from the built-in chord library, or begin with a blank fretboard and let the app intelligently detect the chord name as you place your fingers. This makes it easy to document standard shapes, explore alternate voicings, and capture your own discoveries without guessing or switching apps.
Need to change the key? Instantly transpose an entire song to a new key—perfect for accommodating a singer’s range or adapting a song on the fly during rehearsal.
Whether you’re learning songs, arranging covers, or building original progressions, Just The Chords keeps everything clear, organized, and easy to reference when it counts.
Key Features:
• Smart Chord Detection & Suggestions
Type a chord name to browse suggested shapes and voicings, or build one from scratch and have the app automatically identify the chord as you create the fingering.
• One-Tap Transposition
