Songkeeper Studio
Sacramento, California, United States
What it is
Songkeeper Studio combines recording, writing, and practice tools for guitarists who write songs. Each song can hold multiple recordings for playback and multiple drafts that can be copied, moved between songs, renamed, or deleted. Guitar tools include chord diagrams, a chromatic tuner, tuning options, and chord transposition. The editor offers word suggestions, rhymes, a music keyboard, tablature stamp mode, and trackpad cursor control. For practice, users can set a tempo, use a metronome or drum loops, and configure tempo-based autoscroll. Reference videos can be linked and played in the built-in YouTube player. Songs are saved locally; the site says local songs are lost if the app is uninstalled or the phone is lost. Pro users can store songs in Cloud Vault for access across devices, share songs, and import text or export lyrics as TXT and recordings as MP3. Basic is free for five songs, two drafts and two recordings per song. Pro costs $0.99/mo and includes a 7-day free trial. The app is available on Android and iOS.
