Chartbook

Chartbook collects nothing.

• There are no accounts and no sign-in.
• The app has no analytics, no tracking and no advertising.
• Your songs, sets and notes are stored only on your device.
• Chartbook makes no network requests, so none of your content is ever transmitted to us or to anyone else.
• Nothing is shared with third parties, because nothing is collected.

Content leaves your device only when you choose to share or export it, using the standard iOS share sheet. That transfer is handled by iOS and goes wherever you send it.

Deleting the app removes its data from your device. Export your library first if you want to keep it.

Email josh.salway@gmail.com. Please say which device and iOS version you are on, and if a specific song or file is involved, attach it.

Importing songs

Chartbook reads ChordPro files (.cho, .crd, .pro, .chopro) — the format OnSong, SongBook and Chordii all export. Chords sit in square brackets, in line with the lyric:

A[G]mazing grace, how [C]sweet the [G]sound

After picking files you get a preview showing what was parsed, song by song, with a warning on any file where no chords were found. Nothing is saved until you confirm.

Foot pedals

Bluetooth page-turner pedals (AirTurn, iRig BlueTurn, Coda and similar) pair as keyboards. Pair the pedal in iOS Settings, then in the performance view: right, down or page-down goes to the next song, left, up or page-up goes back, and space starts or stops autoscroll.

Backing up your library

Tap the share icon on the Songs tab to export your whole library as one ChordPro file. It opens in other apps and in any text editor. Do this before changing devices.
