ChordAid

ChordAid (previously called AltiChord) is a super handy Mac app that lets you dive into a huge chord dictionary for all kinds of string instruments. Whether you're jamming on the guitar, bass, mandolin, bouzouki, or ukulele, this app has got your back!

Explore a Wide Range of Chords

With ChordAid, you can check out over 45 different chord types. It covers everything from simple chords to the more complex jazz ones. You can even find slash chords like Cm/G! The app uses smart algorithms to give you precise chord charts that work with both standard and custom tunings.

Customize Your Experience

One cool feature is how you can tailor the chord structure based on your instrument's number of strings. This means you get to see shapes with some intervals left out if that's what you prefer!

Practice Multiple Chords at Once

The main window of ChordAid makes it super easy to display and compare multiple chords at the same time. You can pull up chords from a song or look at different versions of the same one.

Adjust Complexity Based on Your Skills

If you’re looking to challenge yourself, ChordAid lets you tweak the complexity of chord shapes too. On top of basic shapes, there are advanced options with two barres and stretches between fingers that will really test your skills!

Create Your Own Tunings

You can pick how many fingers, barres, and stretch you want right from the top toolbar. Plus, if your favorite instrument isn’t listed, no worries! You can create and experiment with various tunings for three to six-string instruments.

Add Your Favorite Chords

Entering chord symbols is a breeze thanks to the auto-complete feature in ChordAid. Rearranging chords is as simple as drag-and-drop! Don’t forget – any chord shape that catches your eye can be saved in your Favorites list so you can build your own personal chord library.

A Quick Summary

In short, ChordAid is designed for Mac users who want an easy way to generate chord charts and practice multiple chords without any hassle.
