Then it keeps what you found

The keyboard above is the quick version. The app adds everything you’d want once you’ve found a chord worth keeping.

The Keyriff app showing a sheet called Autumn Sketch. A saved-chord library on the left lists chords renamed “the sad one” (Am), “the lift” (FM), “home” (CM) and “the pretty one” (Cmaj7). Verse, Chorus and Bridge sections hold those chords as cards, one carrying a 40 BPM badge, above a three-octave piano keyboard. — **Fig. 1**Chords renamed to whatever you’ll actually remember, a sheet in three sections, and one chord slowed to 40 BPM because it needs the practice.

Find a chord
Press three or more keys with the mouse, a touchscreen, or your computer keyboard. The name appears as you play.
Save it
Save the ones you want to keep. You can rename them too — “the sad one” works as well as Cmaj7.
Practice
Drag saved chords into sections, set the tempo and the repeats, then press play and follow along on the keyboard.

What is in it

This is the whole product as it stands today. Nothing on the list is held back for a bigger version, and nothing on it is going away.

Chord detection, live

Hold three or more notes and the name appears. It covers majors, minors, sevenths, suspensions and inversions, and shows the alternative readings when there are any.

Your own library

Save a chord and rename it to whatever you'll recognise later. You can reorder the library, reuse a chord anywhere, and drag it straight into a sheet.

Practice sheets that play

Arrange chords into named sections and play the whole thing back with sampled piano. The keys light up in time with it.

Tempo where you need it

There's one tempo for the sheet, an override per section, and another for the single chord that keeps tripping you up.

Play from QWERTY

The full three-octave range is mapped to the computer keyboard, so you can find chords without reaching for the mouse.

PDF you can print

Export a sheet with a small keyboard diagram for every chord. It's yours to keep, with no account attached to it.

The same app on a phone

The keyboard scrolls, a section reads left to right like a bar of music, and every control is a real touch target.

Not a cut-down version
The same sheets, the same library, the same PDF export. Nothing is held back for the desktop.
A tray, not a side panel
Saved chords sit under the sheet, so the keys and the controls never get covered while you work.
Long-press to drag
A swipe scrolls the row; holding a chord card picks it up, so you can move it to another section.
