They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I’m one

Simulation: no microphone access.
Sing, and the microphone works out where you are in the text: the words grey out one by one as you go. No scroll speed to set, no screen to touch, both hands stay on the instrument. On Android and in your browser; on iOS, auto-scroll runs at the speed you choose.

What musicians say after playing with Jam Jam.
No reviews yet: yours could be the very first. What do you think of the app? A rating (and a word or two) helps other musicians discover Jam Jam.
A few musicians have already had their say. We publish reviews once there are enough of them to mean anything: add yours and help us get there.
Trustpilot is an independent review platform. Leaving a review there helps Jam Jam enormously: it is what people check before trusting an app they have never heard of. It takes two minutes, and nothing from Trustpilot is loaded on this page.

Jam Jam
Jam Jam is made and funded by one independent developer. It’s free to use: the whole app runs on your phone, and everything you need to play is there without paying a cent.
A fair-priced subscription is there for those who want to support the work. One subscription unlocks Premium everywhere: mobile and web alike. It removes the few minimalist ads and lifts the limits meant only for heavy use. For example, online imports are capped at 10 per week, imports from friends’ songbooks at 30 per week, exports at 10 per week, audio file analyses at 15 per week, and your songbook at 50 songs on the free plan. Every weekly counter resets on Monday.
We’re open about what it costs to run: servers, storage and email all have a price. Supporting Jam Jam keeps it independent, ad-light and moving forward.
And we’re just as open about your data: we collect the bare minimum and never sell it. Read our privacy policy.
Learn more about Premium →Yes. The app is free and, on mobile, almost everything runs on your phone (analyzing an audio file can be handed to our server, which keeps it only for as long as the analysis takes). An optional subscription removes the few small ads and lifts limits meant for heavy use, but you can play, import and organise your songs without paying (10 online imports a week, 10 exports a week, 15 audio file analyses a week and 50 songs in your notebook: every counter resets on Monday). Offline use is free and unlimited.
The web app is available right now on jam-jam.org: your songbook, chord detection, keyboard, tuner and metronome on a big screen, in sync with your phone. Android is out on Google Play, and iOS is in public beta via TestFlight.
Your songs live on your phone. When you sign in, they’re backed up only to your own private account space: never shared or reused. Others only ever see your username, photo and public songs, never your email. See the privacy policy for the full picture.
On your phone, yes: with no time limit, free plan included. The mobile app is offline-first: your songbook, chords, chord detection, tuner and keyboard all work with no connection, for as long as you like. Only online import and account sync need the internet. The web app, on the other hand, needs a connection, offline is mobile only.
One account shared across both, and your songbook syncs within seconds whether you’re on your phone or on a big screen. Offline use, voice-following auto-scroll (Android), photo import and the Composer with its backing tracks (still in beta) stay on the mobile app; capturing the sound of your computer or of a browser tab is web-only.
The best way is Premium: a deliberately tiny price that supports an independent developer, removes the small ads and lifts the limits. Sharing the app with fellow musicians helps just as much.
Sign in and use the Feedback page: you can follow the conversation and see replies right there. We read every message.
Always, and in 9 formats: PDF (single, combined or zipped), plain text, ChordPro for OnSong or SongBook, MusicXML for MuseScore, Dorico and Sibelius, MIDI for any DAW or sequencer, synced lyrics (.lrc), a chord annotation (.lab) and the Jam Jam .jamsong file, which re-imports without losing a thing. PDF, text, ChordPro and synced lyrics are free within the weekly export allowance; MusicXML and MIDI come with Premium. No competing app offers any free export at all. And backing up your whole songbook or exporting your account data is always free, unlimited and outside every quota.
