What it is
Songkeeper Studio is a songwriting app for guitarists who want to keep recordings, lyrics, chords, and practice tools together. A 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 writing 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 enable tempo-based autoscroll. Reference videos can be linked and played in the built-in YouTube player. The free Basic plan costs nothing and allows five songs, two drafts and two recordings per song. Pro costs $0.99 a month and adds unlimited songs, drafts, and recordings, Cloud Vault, sharing, collaboration, import, and export; it includes a 7-day free trial. The app runs on Android and iOS. Songs are also stored locally, and the site warns they can be lost if the app is uninstalled or the phone is lost.
