Compose with ease

Effortlessly add chords to your lyrics with a smart chord matrix. Touch the desired notes on the virtual piano keyboard or fretboard to auto-generate all matching chord symbols with extensions and altered bass notes. Reposition chords via drag & drop and make editing lyrics a breeze with Song One's unique Focus Mode and dynamic chord spacing, which repositions the chords as you type. Find chords that sound great together and explore harmonic fields thanks to an integrated circle of fifths.
