What does it do?
Chord Pad lives next to the Mac clock and turns the number row into the seven chords of whatever key you pick. Keys 1 to 7 play I through VII on a piano, in any major or minor key, and a small screen names the chord and lights its notes while you play. Hold 8 for sevenths, 9 for ninths, or 0 for a strum, and a single knob shifts the whole voicing higher or lower so the chords stay close together. When a progression is worth keeping, you record it with a count-in and drag out MIDI for a DAW, or keep the audio or a video of the take. The screen also lists the chords you played.
Who is it for?
Songwriters and producers who want to try a progression in a real key without opening a piano roll, then drop the result into a project as MIDI or audio.
When would you use it?
- Finding a progression: Pick the key of the song, try a few combinations on 1 to 7, and listen until a sequence feels right.
- Voicing the part: Turn the knob so the chords sit in a tighter register, then hold 8 or 9 to add sevenths or ninths without leaving the number row.
- Getting it into a session: Record with a count-in, export MIDI, and drag the file onto a track in your DAW, or keep the audio or a video to share.
Why pay for it?
You can sketch a progression from the menu bar and leave with a file your DAW already understands, instead of transcribing chords by ear later. You do not need to know theory: 1 to 7 are always the chords that fit the key, and the screen shows each one on a piano. It is a one-time $19 license, $12 through December 1, 2026. Updates stay included, and you can get a full refund for 30 days.
What should you know?
- It needs macOS 14.4 or later and runs on Apple silicon and Intel. The license key arrives by email.
- The app is a single payment, not a subscription. The Black Friday price is $12 instead of $19 through December 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT, with no code; the sale price is already on the buy page.
- A full refund is available for 30 days, and updates are included.
