Built around files you own.

Plain markdown

Every song is a readable .md file. Write lyrics and chords with nothing but text you already understand.

Fully local

Songs live on your device. Chordlist works completely offline with no servers in between.

Never shared

No accounts, no tracking, no syncing behind your back. Your songbook stays private by default.

No lock-in

Export and move your files anytime. Open them in any editor — the data always belongs to you.

One song, one file.

Chords sit right above the words, so you can read and play at a glance.
