Why one app

## Built for playing along.

Learning a song by ear used to take four tabs: the video, a chord site, a transposer and a slow-down app. Chord Lens puts them on one screen, all reading the same recording, so the chord you see is the chord you hear, in the key and at the speed you chose.

Each tool is free to use, with no ads. Premium and Pro lift the limits on splitting songs into stems, take longer songs, and add printing and lyrics for songs that have none. New tools join this page, and the Tools menu at the top of every page, as they ship.

## Find the chords. Press play.
