Mission. To improve the lives of musicians by improving how they use their favorite tool to do their favorite things with their favorite people in their favorite places.

Easily Edit and Create. With 12Bar, musicians easily create chord charts and set lists by dragging and dropping tiles. It’s fun and intuitive. Once you’re done, your bandmates can edit the charts you send to keep everyone up-to-speed!

Arrange Charts and Sets. You can arrange how your charts and sets are displayed by choosing sort options like title, key, BPM and even the gig’s location!

Full Performance Mode. In perform mode, charts and sets come first! Choose to view the full chart, chords-only or text-only and notes for each chart are a tap away! Pick white text on dark or dark on white if you prefer angelic uplighting from your iPad!

Share with Facebook. 12Bar connects you to your friends on Facebook and lets you share chord charts and set lists with them! It’s so easy, your non-musician friends might even want to join the band!

Sets. Once you’ve created charts, drag them to s set tile on the home screen. When you open your set, you get a simple view of your charts. Re-order them to create the perfect set list or make set notes so everyone is on the same page.

Notes. No matter how perfect your chart is, there’s always a need to take notes. With 12Bar, making a note for your chart or set list is just a tap away. This way the bass player won’t come in early and the drummer remembers all those stops!

Perform. Perform Mode in 12Bar puts your charts front and center. Most songs are longer than the iPad screen—that’s why we’ve included song sections you can customize so with just one tap anywhere on the screen, you’re in the next section!

Search. With 12Bar, quickly search your charts and sets. Whether you’re looking for a specific lyric, artist or even location, 12Bar searches your charts and sets, delivering results so you can find that perfect song for that perfect performance!
