Welcome to the JustChords Wiki

This wiki is your home base for everything related to JustChords – the modern, musician‑friendly app for managing chord charts, lyrics, setlists, and live performance workflows. Whether you are a worship leader, gigging guitarist, keyboard player, or band tech, this site will help you get the most out of JustChords on stage, in rehearsal, and at home.

What is JustChords?

JustChords is an app for cataloging and performing songs with chords, lyrics, tabs, and sheet music across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with iCloud keeping your library in sync. You can import songs from the web or other apps, write your own, and build a personal library that is always with you.

Core capabilities include:

  • Song library with tags and powerful organization
  • Chord & lyrics editor (ChordPro, plain text, PDFs, tabs, ABC notation)
  • Flexible song viewer with transposition, capo, custom fonts and colors
  • Setlists with arrangements (verses, choruses, bridges, etc.)

Who is this for?

JustChords is built for musicians who want a clean, reliable tool instead of a cluttered all‑in‑one monster. Typical users include:
