From link to living music
Paste a song. Watch it come alive.
Drop a local file or paste a YouTube link. chordMatik listens on your Mac — key, beats, chords, sections — and builds your practice cockpit in seconds.
See it on the neck
Every change, right on the beat.
As the song plays, the next shape is already under your fingers — barre, fret and all. Press play and watch the progression land on a real fretboard.
Three steps, zero setup
Sound in. Music out.
Drop a song
A file from your library, or a pasted YouTube link. Any song you own.
It listens on-device
Key, beats, chords, sections, lyrics — computed by your Mac, for your eyes only.
Play along, in sync
Chords glide under the playhead; tab and lyrics follow the recording — even through tempo drift.
The practice cockpit
Everything synced to the actual recording.
A chord timeline that plays the song with you.
Chords scroll under the playhead, labelled with the detected key and song sections. Click a chorus — the song jumps there.
Real tabs, locked to the record.
Note-accurate guitar, bass, drum and piano tabs with a cursor that follows the actual performance — tempo drift, rubato and all.
The bass line, written for you.
Neural source separation lifts the bass out of the mix, then note detection writes the line — or grab the top-rated community tab. Your call.
Lyrics that sing along.
Karaoke-style lines light up as the song plays. Click any line and the recording jumps straight to it.
In the case, not in the way
The practice kit.
Beat-locked metronome
It follows the song's actual beats, not a grid — so it stays with the band when the band drifts.
Tuner
Chromatic, forgiving, fast.
Musical count-in
In the song's own key and tempo.
Transpose & capo
Chords re-spell instantly.
Tab ⇄ notation
One tap, same music.
Private by design
Your music never leaves your Mac.
- On-device. Analysis, separation, transcription — all local.
- No account in the app. Open it and play. That's the whole setup.
- No uploads, no telemetry. The network is touched only to fetch a YouTube link you paste, and to check for updates.
Your ears, upgraded.
Download it, drop in a song you love, and be playing along before the kettle boils.
