Hummed a melody? Keep the chords too. Tap together a progression, sing over it, and share a playable song sketch in minutes, no music theory required.
Turn a song idea into something you can play back and share, in minutes.
Voice Memos keep your melody but lose the chords you were hearing. A full DAW takes too long to set up before the idea fades. SongSketch sits in between: build a chord progression, sing over it, and share a song sketch.
CHORDS IN A FEW TAPS
- Pick a key and the chords that fit it appear in the palette
- 27 progression presets, from the Canon and 50s progressions to jazz ii-V-I and neo-soul, filterable by mood (bright, bittersweet, stylish and more)
- 13 chord types plus slash chords, and your own custom chords
- Automatic voice leading picks the smoothest inversion, so it sounds natural even without music theory
RECORD YOUR VOICE
- Sing over the backing with count-in and metronome
- Stack takes and harmonies
- Automatic latency compensation
- Backing track mode: import your own instrumental and record vocals on top
