See what you're playing.
A real-time chord and audio visualizer for musicians. Build a dashboard of 15+ widgets — chord names, keyboard, staff, meters — and watch your music as you play it.
Early access · $15 one-time · macOS · Standalone app
Names the chord the instant you play it — 48 types, inversions and slash chords included.
Drag, drop and resize 15+ widgets into a dashboard that's yours.
Runs as a self-contained macOS app — open it, play, and watch. No DAW required.
Real-time chord detection
Play any voicing and ChordViz names it — Cmaj9#11, Eb/G, Gsus4. It reads the root, quality and bass note live, so extensions, inversions and slash chords are spelled correctly.
A dashboard you arrange
Enter Edit Layout, then drag, drop and resize widgets on a snap-to-grid canvas. Hold Cmd for free placement. Your layout is yours — save as many as you like.
See the theory
Keyboard, grand staff with proper key-aware notation, circle of fifths, chromatic strip and a live chord readout. The theory behind what you're playing, visible at a glance.
Studio-grade metering
Oscilloscope, spectrum, spectrogram, waveform, VU, LUFS loudness and a stereo correlation meter — the same tools you'd reach for when mixing, reacting live to your sound.
Bring your own sound
Play through the built-in synth, or point ChordViz at your instrument or any incoming audio track — it visualizes whatever it hears.
Make it yours
Dark or light, eight accent colors, custom canvas backgrounds and swappable fonts. Save whole setups as presets and set a default to load on launch.
Built for the stage and the classroom
Fullscreen and a distraction-free focus mode hide every control, leaving just the visuals — for performance, teaching, or a second screen.
15+ widgets. One canvas.
Mix and match as many as you like. Click any widget to see it live.
A standalone macOS app.
ChordViz runs on its own — open it, play, and watch. No DAW, no setup, no plugin host required.
macOS 11+ · Plugin formats coming later · Built on JUCE
