Create an account and sign in

You can start using Songstead in a couple of minutes. All you need is an email address, and the free Jam plan has no limit on songs or sets.

Try it first

If you'd like to look around before signing up, open demo.songstead.app. It's the real app, filled with a sample band's songs and sets. Nothing you do there is saved, and refreshing the page starts it over.

Create your account

1. Go to my.songstead.app and select Sign up. In the iPhone, iPad or Android app, the sign-in screen has the same link.
2. Type your email address and select Send verification code.
3. Check your email for a message with a 6-digit code. Type the code into the six boxes and select Continue. If it doesn't arrive in a minute or two, check your spam folder, or select Send a new code.
4. Type your name in What should we call you? and choose a password, then select Get started.

The code only works in the same browser or app where you asked for it, so finish signing up on the same device.

If you were sent an invite to join someone's group, sign up with the email address the invite went to. See Groups and roles.

The welcome screen

The first time you sign in, Songstead says hello and shows two ways to reach us: the Facebook Group and Email Support. You can also choose whether to get the occasional email about what's new. Select Let's make some music to start.

From there, the quickest ways to fill your library are:

• Import the songs and sets you already have in another app, like OnSong or SongbookPro.
• Create a song by pasting a chart in, from Ultimate Guitar or anywhere else.

Sign in

Go to my.songstead.app, or open the app, and type your email address and password. Select Sign in.

Forgot your password

1. On the sign-in screen, select Forgot password?.
2. Type your email address and select Send reset code.
3. Type the 6-digit code from the email, then choose a new password and select Set password.

As with signing up, the code only works on the device where you asked for it.

Log out

Select the circle with your picture or initial at the top right of the app, and choose Log out.
