iPad native chart writing for working musicians

iChart

Handwrite digital music charts at paper-chart speed.

Write chords, repeats, handwritten rhythm figures, form markings, and notes with Apple Pencil, then keep the chart editable, transposable, organized, and ready to export.

The space between paper and heavyweight notation apps

Fast like a handwritten chart. Structured enough for real rehearsal work.

iChart is built for working musicians: Whether it's rehearsals, club dates, weddings, or corporate gigs, you can create clean chord charts that are quick to write and easy to share.

Write By Hand

Use Apple Pencil to write chords, repeats, rhythm cues, section labels, and notes directly on the page.

Transpose Versions

Duplicate a chart and transpose chord symbols into the key you need.

Organize Sets

Keep charts in a project folder and update them as you go.

Export PDFs

Send quick, readable charts to the players and keep the source chart for later edits.

Handwritten pages can still carry the real details musicians mark on paper: chords, rhythm cues, endings, and notes.

For bandleaders and gigging musicians

One chart can become multiple versions for your players' instruments.

Write a quick, clean chart for the rhythm section, duplicate it for another player, transpose the chords, and export PDFs without starting the page over.

For teachers

Make lesson charts once, then adapt them for every student.

Write exercises, rhythm studies, chord studies, and simple lead-sheet sketches by hand. Duplicate a chart for a new key or skill level, export a PDF for students, and keep the editable original ready when the page gets lost, damaged, or needs to change next week.

Lesson Handouts

Create readable worksheets without rebuilding the same chart in a notation program.

Transposed Examples

Move chord charts into a student's range or instrument key without rewriting the page.

Reusable Material

Keep exercises, tune forms, and class charts organized so lost handouts are easy to replace.

iChart Pro

Build a working chart library, not just a folder of one-off PDFs.

Basic gives you local chart writing and PDF export. Pro is built for musicians who rely on iChart across gigs, lessons, bands, and recurring material.

iChart Pro plan view showing unlimited local charts, cloud backup, and Forums availability.

Unlimited Charts

Keep writing past the Basic chart limit.

Build a deeper local library and use Projects to group song versions, band books, lesson material, and set folders.

Backup And Restore

Protect the charts you keep coming back to.

Back up supported chart data to your Pro account and restore your library after reinstalling or moving to a new iPad.
