Songkeeper Studio combines song recording, lyric drafting, guitar tools, and practice features for songwriting guitarists. Each song can hold multiple recordings for playback and multiple drafts that can be copied, moved, renamed, or deleted. Its guitar features include chord diagrams, a chromatic tuner, tuning options, and chord transposition. The editor offers word suggestions, rhymes, a music keyboard, tablature stamping, and a trackpad for cursor movement. Practice tools include tempo settings, a metronome, drum loops, and tempo-based autoscroll. Users can attach reference videos and play them in the built-in YouTube player. The Basic plan is free and permits five songs, two drafts per song, and two recordings per song. Pro costs 0.99 USD per month, with a 7-day free trial, and adds unlimited songs, drafts, and recordings, Cloud Vault, sharing and collaboration, and import and export. Songs are saved locally; Pro users can also upload them to Cloud Vault for access across devices. The app is available on Android and iOS.
