I used to play in a cover band. Nothing fancy — pub gigs, weddings, the occasional church Sunday. Every time I needed to write or share a chord chart, I'd end up either wrestling with software built for studio professionals, or staring at a janky interface that looked unchanged since 2007. Existing tools fall into two camps: overwhelmingly powerful (great if you're arranging for a jazz orchestra, overkill if you just need to tell the guitarist "it's a G during the chorus") or so bare-bones they're barely better than a text file. I wanted something in between — a chord chart editor that feels like a writing tool. Clean, fast, opinionated. One that quietly helps when your theory is a bit shaky (which key again? is that chord borrowed?) without ever making you feel like you're learning software instead of music. That's Carnet. It's for the amateur, the hobbyist, the worship band leader emailing charts to volunteers on a Saturday night. If you've ever sent a photo of a handwritten chart because nothing else felt worth the friction — this is for you. Would love to hear from musicians at any level. What's your current chord chart workflow? What do you wish it did that it doesn't?
