Music theory helpers that ship with your code.

Kord is an open-source Rust library, CLI, and WASM module for parsing chord symbols, spelling notes, and inferring chords from pitches or short audio clips. This site is a thin demo of the same APIs compiled to the browser.

Inspect chord grammar with Describe, test voicings in Guess, or follow the docs to pull the crate and CLI into your own projects.
