About this app

JamPacked turns your tablet into the perfect jam session music stand.

Built for traditional and folk musicians, JamPacked displays your tunes full-screen with nothing in the way — menus and buttons fade out when you're not using them, so all you see is the music. No page fumbling, no squinting at a phone, no internet required.

Your whole tunebook in your hands
Import tunes in ABC notation — paste in one or a hundred at a time. JamPacked organizes them alphabetically with instant search, so you can find "The Kesh Jig" before the fiddler counts in.

Tabs for your instrument
One tap adds tablature below the standard notation for guitar, fiddle, tenor banjo, 5-string banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, or tin whistle — including Irish tunings.

Chords at a glance
See chord diagrams for the tune you're playing, with open, barre, and alternate voicings for backing on guitar, mandolin, and more.

Build sets, play through them
Group tunes into sets the way you play them at a session. Swipe to move from one tune to the next — and loop back around when the set ends.

Every version of every tune
Trad tunes come in many settings. JamPacked keeps variants together under one title, names them by key automatically ("in D", "in G ver. 2"), and lets you pick a default or switch versions on the fly.

Tag and track your repertoire
Mark tunes as Know, Practicing, or Want to Learn — or create your own tags — then filter your list to build tonight's practice session.

Tunes from thesession.org
Search and pull tunes straight from thesession.org, the world's largest collection of traditional music, right into your library.

Works offline, everywhere
Your music lives on your device in a local database. No account, no subscription, no signal needed in the back room of the pub.

Whether you're leading a session, learning your first jigs, or backing on bouzouki, JamPacked keeps the music in front of you — and everything else out of the way.
