A chord sheet tool built for how you actually play

Cheetsheet is a personal, self-hosted tool for managing guitar chord sheets, built around three things most chord sheet tools get wrong:

• Flexible formatting. Cheetsheet stores sheets as plain text files with a defined format, giving you full control over content and layout instead of locking you into a rigid template.
• Configurable views. Adapt the layout to your device or context — reading on a tablet while playing, or a widescreen overview while practising — with multiple viewing options tailored to different use cases.
• Autoscroll tied to your song. Sheets scroll automatically based on chord changes and BPM, so you can keep both hands on your instrument instead of reaching for a page-turn.

Goals

• Easily editable — sheets are plain markdown files with a few added capabilities, editable directly or through an in-app editor.
• Easily viewable — multiple viewing modes for different contexts, from a tablet at a music stand to a widescreen desktop or a quick reference glance.
• Flexible — import and export into common formats so your sheets are never locked in.

The tool is currently still under development, and since it is a free-time personal project, I make no guarantees about service availability or data persistence — although I will try to keep the service available and secure to the best of my abilities.

Interoperability is one of the key goals of the project, so you will always be able to export your sheets into a different format, or create your own backups.

For now, the tool is free to use with no restrictions. This might change in the future.

You can currently only log in via a Google account. Cheetsheet does not get access to any data from your Google account besides your email address and profile picture. Cheetsheet also does not share any data with Google, besides the fact that your account uses the application (which happens automatically by you logging in).
