What's New

Recent features and improvements to Choordinator.

April 17, 2026

Legal pages finalized
Privacy, terms, and DMCA pages are now the official versions (previously marked as drafts). Terms now spell out that Choordinator's software, graphics, logos, and wordmark are our own intellectual property — your chord charts and setlists still belong to you, unchanged.

April 16, 2026

Share what you played
Every session gets a shareable card — song count, band name, date, and the song you closed with. One tap on the session history page or at the end of a live session sends it through your phone's native share sheet, or saves it as a PNG. Single-song sessions reframe as “Kicked off with {title}” so the song becomes the hero, not the number.
Founding users — Pro free, forever
If you signed up before the public launch, you now have a lifetime Pro entitlement. No credit card, no expiry, no fine print. Thanks for showing up early.
One song and you're ready to jam
The onboarding wizard now gets you to a live session after a single song, not three. The welcome step echoes the landing tagline (“The whole room, same chart”), names the viewer-free hook, and the “Paste a song” card leads with the magic moment — we'll detect the title and artist for you.
Landing page reads cleanly on iPad
Phones in the hero now stack vertically on iPad and tablet widths so the chord-chart previews are readable instead of squeezed into a 160-pixel split column. Mobile and desktop unchanged.
We watch the lights
A health check now pings production every 10 minutes. If anything goes sideways with the database, session cache, or the app itself, we hear about it before you do. Just here so you know.

April 15, 2026

Send feedback without signing in
The /feedback page now accepts submissions from anyone — no account required. Pick what you were trying to do, write what's on your mind, leave an email if you want a reply, send. We read every one.
Privacy, terms, and DMCA pages
Plain-language legal pages with the actual list of sub-processors, what each one sees, how long we keep your data, and how to delete it. Linked from Settings and the sign-in page.

April 14, 2026

First-time viewers know the app is working
When you join a session before the leader picks a song, you now see a live status indicator, a sentence explaining what's about to happen, and the session code in big friendly type — not a one-line "waiting" message.
Post-session sign-in prompt
Anonymous viewers get a respectful one-tap sign-in bottom sheet after the leader ends the session, never mid-song. "Maybe later" dismisses it and remembers for that session.
Smoother songbook import from onboarding
Starting a welcome-wizard import no longer strands you on the import page when you're done — you're returned to the wizard with a count of what you imported and a "Start a session" CTA ready to go. The onboarding copy now names the use case honestly: "Bring your library."

April 13, 2026

Graceful reconnection
If your connection drops mid-session, a banner shows while we reconnect — and you automatically catch up to the leader's current song and scroll position.
Paste a chart mid-session
Leaders can paste a new chord chart from inside the Songs sheet. It saves to your library and shows up on everyone's screen instantly.
Song request badge for leaders
When viewers request a song, leaders see an amber badge on the Songs button with the request count — and the requests are displayed prominently at the top of the Songs sheet.
Guided chart creation
New Chart page now has one-tap section buttons ([Intro], [Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge], [Outro]), an example skeleton for empty charts, and flags unrecognized chords so you can catch typos before saving.
Foot pedal setup wizard
First-time users see a one-time prompt asking if they use a Bluetooth pedal, with arrow-key mode tips.
iPad pedal support
Arrow-key pedals now work on iPad without needing fullscreen mode. Just tap anywhere to activate.
Viewer pedal scrolling
Viewers can use their own pedal to scroll independently from the leader.

April 12, 2026

Redesigned session controls
Unified bottom dock with clearer leader/viewer controls and larger scroll buttons.
Band notes
Three coexisting note types per song: shared band notes, per-member instructions, and personal notes.
Smarter leadership
Session leadership preserved across page refreshes, with smart reclaim on reconnect.
Scroll delay per song
Fine-tune the countdown delay before auto-scroll begins.
