ChordPrompter
Guitar teleprompter with chord diagrams inside your lyrics.
Hey Indiehackers! 👋 I'm the maker of ChordPrompter.
I play guitar at gigs and got tired of juggling printed chord sheets, phone screens, and chord chart apps that make you jump between tabs to look up fingering positions. So I built ChordPrompter, a teleprompter that shows chord diagrams directly inside the lyrics, right where you need them.
Key things I'm proud of:
→ Chord diagrams inline with lyrics (no app does this quite like this)
→ Works offline: no WiFi needed on stage
→ Auto-scroll so your hands stay on the guitar
→ Visual song editor: click to place chords, drag to reposition, browse 1000s of voicings
→ One-time purchase no subscription available
Would love your feedback, especially from fellow guitarists. Happy to answer any questions! 🎸

“Nice niche — guitar + teleprompter is a smart combo.
Would be interesting to see how beginners vs experienced players use it differently — I’d guess totally different expectations.”
True. Beginners usually stick to searching for songs to learn how to play them, while experienced players take advantage of most features, like multiple setlists, chord voicings, capo, transpose, etc.
The inline chord diagrams are a clever idea. It feels like one of those things that’s obvious once you see it because it removes the need to constantly break your focus.
Have you noticed players using it more for live gigs, or has it also become part of their practice routine?
Don't have exact numbers, but I talked to a few users, and from my sample, it's a bit of both
