See Everyone Working Together
Active collaborators appear as avatars in the editor header. See remote cursors and live changes as they happen — everyone stays on the same version of the song.
Real-Time Sync, No Conflicts
Chordly uses conflict-free real-time technology. When two people edit the same line at the same time, changes merge together rather than overwriting each other.
Invite Editors to Any Song
Open the Share menu, find the person in your friends list, and add them as an editor. They can open the song in the editor and start making changes alongside you.
Real-Time Collaboration — Frequently Asked Questions
How does real-time collaboration work in Chordly?
When you add someone as an editor on a song, they can open it in the Chordly editor and make changes alongside you. Changes appear live for all active collaborators — no manual syncing or file sharing needed.
How many people can edit a chord sheet at the same time?
Multiple collaborators can be active in the same song simultaneously. Each active user appears as an avatar in the editor header.
What do collaborators see when editing in real-time?
Collaborators see each other's cursors, selections, and changes appearing live in the document as they happen.
Can I use Chordly for remote guitar lessons?
Yes. Add your student as an editor on a song and both of you can work on the same chord sheet in real time from different locations.
Do both people need to be online at the same time?
Yes. Real-time editing requires both collaborators to have the song open at the same time. Changes appear as they happen during an active session.
Can I control what a collaborator can do?
Yes. The Share menu lets you set someone as a viewer (read-only) or an editor (can make changes). You can change their role or remove their access at any time.
