A native Mac chord-chart app for practicing musicians. Lead sheets, ChordPro, MusicXML, and a backing-track player — your whole songbook on the Mac, with a source-list sidebar, a sortable table, and the keyboard shortcuts you'd expect. Buy it once. No subscription. Ever. Hey — Leganote is the app I wished existed. I'm zhi, a solo dev. I built it in evenings and weekends because I was tired of paying yearly fees for music tools I just want to own — and tired of "lifetime" apps that quietly turned into yearly plans. So I made my own. Pay once and it's yours. No subscription, no trial, no ads, no upsell screens. — Built for the Mac A real Mac app, not a port. System menu bar with File / Song / Playback / Practice menus and the shortcuts you'd expect: Space to play, Command-L to loop, Command-E to edit, Command-N for a new song, Command-P to print, Option-Command-Up and Down Arrow to transpose. A traditional source-list sidebar, a sortable table (Title / Key / Style / BPM), and multi-window so you can keep two charts open at once. — What it does Chord charts and lead sheets that look the way they should. Handwritten chord symbols, section markers, repeats and 1./2. endings. Click a bar, type a chord. Drag to reorder sections. A backing-track player so you can practice without booking a band. Drums, bass, guitar and a recorded grand piano all playing along. Live transpose at the next bar boundary. Tempo control without changing pitch. — Practice tools A-B loop a tricky section. Tempo Ramp gradually steps the BPM up each time the loop comes around. Metronome with quarter, 8th, triplet, 16th, and shuffle subdivisions. Guitar, piano, bass, and ukulele fingering diagrams — pick a different voicing per chord. — Open formats + sync Import and export ChordPro and MusicXML — your charts stay yours, in formats other apps can read. Your library lives in iCloud Drive, so the charts you write on the Mac show up in the Leganote app on your iPhone and iPad (and the other way around). — PDFs too Imported PDF charts open on the Mac as well, with a page-thumbnail sidebar and zoom — including the Apple Pencil marks you made on an iPad. Drawing new ones is still an iPhone/iPad job. Made by one person who plays. If something's off, email me — there's a real human at the other end.
