Why is it different?
Because it doesn't solve just one piece of the puzzle — it connects the whole journey. From preparation to performance the process stays clear — no scattered files, lost messages or separate apps.

An empty chord book you fill yourself — the way that works for you.
Chords365 isn't a ready-made song catalog — it's a digital chord book: you decide what goes in and where it comes from. Type a song in, import it from ChordPro or ZIP, photograph the paper chart, or pull it in from several public song libraries — then add audio recordings and stem sets alongside (even from YouTube) to make learning easier for singers and players alike. Its greatest strength is that the whole team's life comes together in one place: shared setlists, events, media library and broadcast messages. Built by one musician, for musicians — from the heart.
Your own sources
Type it in, import from ChordPro or ZIP, scan a photographed chart, or pull from several public song libraries.
Chords and sheet music in one
ChordPro with automatic transposing and classic sheet images — for one song, side by side.
Audio for learning
Audio recordings and stem sets, separated even from YouTube, for easier practice.
The whole team
Shared setlist, events, media library and broadcast messages — all in one place for singers and players.

A digital songbook — right in your browser
Know Planning Center Music Stand, OnSong, forScore, MobileSheets or SongBook+? Chords365 is in the same category: a digital sheet music organizer for musicians and music teams — only it isn’t a separate installed program, it runs in your browser, on any device.
Music Stand
Planning Center’s app for musicians: it displays the setlists and chord charts built in Planning Center Services — on mobile and in the browser, with an active Planning Center subscription.
OnSong
A popular, Apple-only (iOS/macOS) chord-chart app with song management, transposition, live device sync and projection.
forScore
The best-known Apple-only (iPad/iPhone/Mac) PDF sheet-music reader: it manages scores and setlists, but isn’t chord-based.
Chords365
Runs in the browser and on every platform, free to start — a chord and sheet-music organizer with built-in team sync and projection.
They all help with the same job: organizing songs, chords, lyrics and setlists from rehearsal to stage. The difference is that Chords365 runs in your browser — no install, no device lock-in — with both H and B note naming, built-in projection and offline support.

A dash (–) marks partial or plan-dependent support: OnSong’s free tier is limited (transposition, projection and sync require a subscription), and Planning Center Music Stand requires an active Planning Center subscription. This comparison is based on publicly available information as of July 2026; features and pricing may change. Planning Center Music Stand, OnSong, forScore, MobileSheets and SongBook+ are trademarks of their respective owners and are not affiliated with Chords365.
Honestly: what is Chords365 NOT?
It's not a licensed song catalog and not a complete team management system. You upload your own songs that you have the right to use, and Chords365 adds what's missing at rehearsal and performance: quick search, shared setlist, chord notation, offline reliability and stage usability.
Users are responsible for only uploading and using content they have the rights to. Chords365 is not a public song catalogue and does not distribute copyrighted music.
A one-person labour of love, running since 2022. It started out as chords.hu and has now opened up to the world as chords365.com - but the heart of it hasn't changed: built by one musician, for musicians.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Currently yes: no per-user fee, trial or premium plan. The app is in an early launch phase and sustains itself from voluntary donations — if it's useful, support it here. In the longer term the core features stay free, and a few advanced extras may go into an optional paid bundle.
No. We do not sell your data or pass it on to third parties — the app does not live on advertising or data sales, but on voluntary donations, and it is currently in an early launch phase. Your uploaded songs and your account data remain yours. Details: Privacy policy.
Essentially you build your own library. Chords365 provides song management, editing, search, transposing and team use — not a licensed song catalog.
You fill the library with content yourself — there is no pre-loaded song bank that everyone sees, and by default only your own songs (and those shared with you by your group) appear. You add the songs yourself: you can type or paste them in, import from a file (for example ChordPro, PDF or image), and with the built-in search you can also browse and bring in songs from the internet, from several sources. This way you can build up your own, lawfully used repertoire in just a few minutes.
Yes. It's a web PWA, so it runs in modern browsers on iOS, Android, Windows/macOS and tablets. It can be added to your home screen like an app.
The Music Director's song changes and signals can appear on follower devices — when the leader moves to another song, followers' screens switch too. Scrolling within a song is controlled individually.
From ChordPro and similar text formats yes, and you can upload multiple songs in a ZIP. Starting from PDF or images is also possible, but transposing works best after converting to ChordPro.
Yes. Most Bluetooth music pedals act as HID keyboards, which Chords365 handles with profiles or custom mapping.
Users are responsible for only uploading and using content they have the rights to. Chords365 is not a public song catalogue and does not distribute copyrighted music — it only provides the tools to manage your own, lawfully used songs within your group. Content brought in from other sources does not become the property of Chords365, and no public copy is made of it.
The main safeguard is the design itself: Chords365 is a closed, private tool, not a publishing platform. Anything you upload is yours by default and can only be shared with a group you choose (for example your band or team) — there is no “everyone can see this” switch, no public posting and no public link that anyone could open. You cannot browse or search other users’ content, and nothing goes into a public catalogue or search engines, so copyrighted material cannot spread to the public here. Uploaded content stays with the person who uploaded it, and under the terms everyone may upload only what they have the rights to. If a rights holder still notices an infringement, they can report it at [email protected] and we will remove the content concerned.
