OpenChord (acronym: OPENCHRD) is an opensource PWA (progressive web app), which allows importing PDF song sheets and has a builtin patcher for transposing. It is supposed to be a church-specific, lightweight, free and cross platform application.
TL:DR; use the web app or download a native binary from releases
OpenChord is a progressive web app and therefore works in the browser by default. A public instance is hosted on my website. Please note though that, since OpenChord is entirely local, if you happen to clear your browser data (IndexedDB), the data of OpenChord will be gone as well.
An alternative is to use an application bundle, which you can download from the releases tab. The app itself is bundled using Tauri a tool for creating "small, fast, secure, cross-platform applications".
Make sure to install bun first!
- Install dependencies:
bun install - Run the dev server:
bun run dev - (optional) Expose to test in LAN:
bun run dev --host
