Made for the set list
Find a song, play it, keep moving.
Search and filter your library, transpose as you play, and keep related songs close without giving up the simplicity of ordinary files.
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.
Works offline
Browse, edit, search, and transpose your existing library without a connection. Online import runs only when you request it.
Your files stay yours
chordlist does not upload your song library. Choose where the files live and share them only when you decide to.
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. This is a real file — download it and open it anywhere.
chords: G D Em C, C G D Em
[Verse] G D Coffee on the counter going cold Em C Radio is humming something old G D Curtains hold the dust up in the room Em C Morning came around a little soon [Chorus] C G Hold the morning light D Em Slow it down awhile C G Nothing left to prove D Em Nothing left to do
