Your live setlist,
inside Ableton.
AbleJam reads your project's markers and becomes the show's control room: it follows the playing song, handles medleys and stops, shows synced lyrics, and lets every band member drive it — from a phone, a tablet or a footswitch.

Big and readable from the back of the stage: title, key, BPM, countdown and transport. You always know what you're playing and what comes next.
- Giant text, readable from afar
- End-of-song countdown
- Next song already queued
Lyrics, right on stage
These are the lyrics of your favorite song. With AbleJam you sync the lyrics to your sequences, edit them in the app and — if you want — push them as clips into Ableton, then watch them scroll on the big stage display, always on the right line.
- Lyrics synced to the song
- Built-in editor + teleprompter
- Export or push the clips into Ableton
Everything the stage needs. Nothing it doesn't.
AbleJam doesn't replace Ableton: it makes it playable live. It reads your project and adds the control layer that's missing.
Synced lyrics
Built-in editor and teleprompter: one line per bar, scrolling along with the song. Export and re-import all your lyrics so you never lose them.
Endless medleys
Chain as many songs as you want without breaks: jumps, stops, section loops and returns handled automatically by your project's markers.
Full customization
Rename and color clips straight from AbleJam, pick your interface colors and choose what information to show in each view.
The whole band, over WiFi
Every musician opens the local address in their phone or tablet browser. No installs, no cables: everyone on the same setlist.
Bluetooth pedals
Change song, start and stop the transport hands-free with a Bluetooth pedal: you play, AbleJam follows.
Stable and simple
It only reads markers: it doesn't touch your audio or rewrite your project. One app, built not to let you down mid-show.
Built for the way you really play
Illustrative examples of how bands and musicians use AbleJam. These are typical scenarios, not real reviews.
Three hours of music, dozens of songs and on-the-fly changes. The setlist on every musician's tablet, and the next song starts without anyone staring at the laptop.
I launch the backing tracks, control everything from a Bluetooth pedal and read the lyrics on my phone. My hands stay on the instrument, not on the mouse.
A whole block of songs chained with no breaks. The project markers do the work — AbleJam just tells us where we are and where we're going.
The Stage view on a second screen: I always know which song is coming, its key and length, without asking the band a thing.

The questions everyone asks
Which version of Ableton does it work with?
AbleJam is built for Ableton Live 12, on Windows and macOS. It connects to your open project through a small included bridge.
Does it change my project or my audio?
No. AbleJam only reads the timeline markers: it doesn't rewrite the project and doesn't touch the audio tracks. Your set stays exactly as it is.
How does the rest of the band connect?
Once running, AbleJam publishes an address on the local network. Each musician opens it in their phone or tablet browser — no install, just be on the same WiFi.
Is there a subscription?
No. The full version is a one-time €139 purchase. The Demo is free and lets you try all the views and mechanics before buying.
How does activation work?
After purchase you get a license key by email. Paste it into AbleJam (Settings → Activation) to unlock the full version. Verification is offline: no login needed on stage, it works even without internet.
Can I use it on more than one computer?
Yes. The key is tied to your email and you can activate it on your own devices, both Windows and Mac. If you change computer, you reuse the same key.
How many devices can I connect?
As many as you like on the same network: phones, tablets, a second screen for the engineer. There's no imposed limit.
Can I use a pedal?
Yes. You can control song changes and the transport with Bluetooth pedals, to stay hands-free on your instrument.
