About

UkeChords is a ukulele-first chord library, tuner and songbook, built on one idea: everything on the site is generated from open musical data — the tuning of the instrument and the rules of music theory — so the library can be complete and consistent instead of hand-typed and patchy.

How the fingerings are made: for every chord, the generator walks the fretboard of the gCEA (and DGBE baritone) tuning, keeps every fingering that plays exactly the chord's notes within a four-fret hand span, and scores them for finger count, stretch and position. The top shapes match the standard published charts; the long tail of voicings up the neck is where a generated library wins.

Songs: chords are musical facts; lyrics are not ours to republish. The song library therefore starts with traditional and public-domain songs in full, and famous songs are added as chord-only pages (progression, strumming pattern, key and capo — the parts that are facts).

Your data: the SongBook and setlists live in your browser's local storage. There are no accounts and nothing is uploaded.

This is a development preview on a temporary address; the permanent domain arrives after review.
