What is Akordo?

The short version

Akordo is a chord chart tool for musicians. Write charts, organize setlists, and share everything with your band — all from one place.

No more emailing PDFs, arguing over which version is current, or reformatting charts every time someone changes the key.

Who it's for

Worship teams

Prepare Sunday sets with shared charts, per-song arrangements, and setlists that everyone on the team can access. When the worship leader changes the key, everyone sees the update instantly.

Gigging bands

Keep your repertoire organized. Build setlists for each show, export PDFs for your music stands, and stop texting chord charts back and forth.

Solo musicians

Maintain a personal library of charts with version history. Practice with the built-in metronome, explore voicings on chord maps, and export clean PDFs when you need paper.

Music teachers

Create charts for students with accurate voicings for their specific instruments and tunings. Custom instruments ensure the diagrams match what your student actually plays.

What you can do

Write charts with ChordPro

Type chords in brackets next to lyrics — no more fighting with spacing. Charts render cleanly on any screen and export to PDF without reformatting.

Explore chord and arpeggio maps

Browse voicings for any chord on any instrument. Switch tunings, compare positions, and find the right voicing for your song. Arpeggio maps show chord tones across the entire fretboard for improvisation and melody writing.

You can try chord and arpeggio maps without creating an account.

Organize with setlists

Line up songs in performance order, pick arrangements per song, and label tracks that need extra rehearsal. Export the whole set as a single PDF.

Collaborate in groups

Create a shared workspace for your band. Everyone sees the same charts, same arrangements, same setlists. Permissions control who can edit versus who can only view.

Export to PDF

Generate clean, consistently formatted printouts for rehearsal or gigs. Single songs or full setlists, ready for a music stand.

Connect AI assistants

Link Claude, ChatGPT, or other AI tools to your library through MCP. Ask your AI to create songs, edit charts, build setlists, and browse your library.

Play on iOS

Access your library from the Akordo iOS app. Browse songs, view charts, and follow setlists from your iPhone or iPad.

How Akordo is different

Built on ChordPro

Charts use the ChordPro standard — a plain-text format that keeps chords aligned with lyrics regardless of screen size or font. No proprietary format lock-in.

Real-time sync

Changes save and sync automatically. When someone in your group updates a chart, everyone sees it. No manual merging, no version conflicts.

Arrangements, not copies

Instead of duplicating a chart for each key or capo position, attach multiple arrangements to one chart. Fix a typo once and it updates across every arrangement.

Multi-instrument support

Chord maps and arpeggio maps adapt to your instrument and tuning. Create custom instruments for non-standard setups like 7-string guitars, baritone, or alternate tunings.
