Tap the + button on the home screen. Search by song title or artist to pre-fill song details, or choose "Create manually" to enter everything yourself. SetStar ships with a handful of traditional songs so you can explore the app right away — feel free to delete them.

Each song is a plain-text markdown file. By default they live in your iCloud Drive (in the SetStar folder), so they sync between your iPhone and iPad and are always yours to open, edit, or back up with any text editor. If iCloud is unavailable, SetStar stores them locally on your device — you can see them in the Files app.

Pair any Bluetooth page-turner pedal (AirTurn and similar) with your device in iOS Settings — it works like a Bluetooth keyboard. On the SetStar home screen, the down pedal highlights the next song suggestion and the up pedal starts the highlighted song, so you never have to touch the screen mid-set.

SetStar tracks when you last played each song. Fresh means played within the last 7 days, Practiced within 30 days, and Stale means it's been longer (or never). Filter by freshness to build gig-ready sets from rehearsed songs, or to focus practice on the songs going stale.

Suggestions respect your active filters. If the new song doesn't match the current energy, genre, decade, capo, or freshness filters, it stays in the pool but won't be suggested. Clear filters from the filter screen to see everything, or tap the "remaining" counter to view every unplayed song.
