Chord Dice is a fantastic creative tool for musicians who find themselves stuck in a rut. It’s less of a 'game' and more of a 'randomized inspiration generator.' By rolling virtual dice that represent different chords, it forces you to play progressions you might never have thought of on your own.

The implementation is simple but effective. You can lock certain dice if you like part of a progression and reroll the rest, which is a great way to 'build' a song piece by piece. For guitarists, pianists, or songwriters, it’s a great way to practice ear training or just break out of familiar habits. It’s a niche utility, but for its specific audience, it’s a polished and very useful little app that belongs in every musician's toolkit.

Dinsun here. This isn't a 'game' in the traditional sense, so don't expect a campaign. It's a tool. For what it is—a digital companion to get your creative gears turning—it's solid. The 'shake to roll' mechanic is responsive, and the ability to import your own samples is where the real value lies. It’s bare-bones, and the UI looks like it hasn't changed since 2019, but it works. I don't give high marks for tools that could be a simple web app, but musicians will find it useful for ten minutes of brainstorming.

Design and performance updates


Many modern songs are based on a maximum of six chords, which corresponds to the number of eyes in a dice. So we had the idea to create a dice with chords and play the diced combination. This way, interesting and creative combinations can be created in a playful way.

Instead of recording chords, you can record other sounds and add a photo to the sound. Roll the dice at random and listen to the result. It'll make you laugh.

Tap on the roll button or shake your iPhone to roll a new sound combination. By tapping on a dice, you can hear the recording. Touching the small cube next to the dice changes the sound of the single dice, allowing for greater flexibility.

To hear the combination, press the green play button. With the other two buttons, you can pause or stop playing. If you like the combination, you can export and send it.

The stored recordings appear in a table where they can be deleted, listened to or sent.

The recorded sounds can be trimmed to e.g. eliminate unwanted sequences. The single records can be archived and re-used later.

Songs can be created from the recorded tones and combinations.


Requires iOS 18.1 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
