What's inside

Everything a working musician needs

From the rehearsal room to the stage — Score Reader covers every part of your musical life.

🔦

Spotlight Mode

Two-finger tap to show your position on external displays and linked devices — perfect for conducting or cuing bandmates mid-performance.

🔗

Linked Performance

Sync page turns and spotlight across multiple iOS and macOS devices over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Encrypted. Great for bands reading the same charts.

↩️

Jump Links

Set up repeats, codas, and section jumps that fire in real time so you're never scrambling to find the right measure mid-set.

📺

External Display

Full external display support with Keep Screen Awake mode and optional clock overlay — so your score stays visible through the whole performance.

☁️

Flexible Storage

Songbooks backed by iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, or any local folder. It's just a folder on your filesystem — no proprietary lock-in.

✏️

Rich Annotations

Ink, text, music symbols, and even hand-drawn staves — all with full undo/redo. Mark up your scores the way you would on paper.

Live performance

Built for the gig, not just the practice room

Every performance feature was designed around real musicians playing live.

Spotlight Mode

Press two fingers anywhere on your score to broadcast a spotlight indicator to external displays and every linked device on your network — instantly showing the rest of the band where you are.

Linked Performance

Wirelessly connect iPads and Macs so page turns stay in sync across the whole band. Works over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with end-to-end encryption — no internet required.

Jump Links

Mark repeats, D.S., Coda, and any custom section jumps directly on the score. Tap them during a performance to jump instantly — no flipping, no hunting.

Always-On Display

Keep Screen Awake prevents auto-lock during a set. Time can be shown on both your device and external display, so you always know where you stand in the show.
